We should have an ugliest lathe contest. Two different classes.. Manufactured lathes, and homebrew lathes. Would be interesting to see everyones beat up lathes. Pics and a written essay to explain the unseen ugliness (bent headstock shaft, bad bearings, etc.)

LOL! :biggrin: I think this just insulted a whole bunch. I love the mustard brand but IMO the color itself qualifies! :biggrin:

Well, if it's an insult, I just insulted myself.
I just really hate that @!#% red color with yellow letters.

Tom -----sure wish I had a real good camera----I could have a pic of that log cabin/pen blank safety shield enlarged just for you. Look great hanging in your shop.

far too clean (and too good of an idea) to win an ugly contest!
