Chuck, my old friend, you have always had larger equipment than me. And I might add you know how to use it.
My shop assistant ( shown here in official Barry Lee Hands shop assistant uniform) prefers small equipment. She is handy for all kinds of odd jobs around the shop.
I use this lathe mainly for cutting bbl band inlay slots so it works fine. If I need a bigger one I can go over to Lee Helgelands or borrow Jerry Fisher's for an afternoon.

All the best,
Barry Lee Hands
