Hardinge T10 photo link for Marty

Wow. I'm not Marty, but I sure am impressed, beautiful work ...

I cringe whenever this lathe and pictures of it come up...I sold it to Steve a few years ago...I had big plans to do what he did with it....sold my Rivett 608's too....

Ah, I can understand the palpitations. But seeing what he did with it, is purely amazing. I think that all those photos in the old hardinge literature, with the fancy frosting and so on, were probably done from one-of-a-kind show machines, that had been gone over by somebody like him.

Chuckle..I sold the Rockwell horizontal mill that Id gotten from Marty, around Christmas time. It had been my Project mill for a couple years, and I finally decided to let someone else do it. The new owner sent me the completed pics a week or two ago..

Geeeze...it would have made a great Catalog photo for Rockwell. Gorgeous machine now.

I think this is called Sellers Remorse.

Sigh

Gunner, who used to only have that with guns he sold. Now he cries about the guns and machines he never should have sold....sob.....

The two highest achievements of the human mind are the twin concepts of "loyalty" and "duty." Whenever these twin concepts fall into disrepute -- get out of there fast! You may possibly save yourself, but it is too late to save that society. It is doomed. " Lazarus Long

LOL. Subtitled, "if only I had taken the time and done the work to make it nice, it would be.... Nice."

Agreed.
