Hi all
Not been on for a while as you may know, Xmas/Jan I think, anyhow carrying on from my last post The priorities have been completed-total revamp of the kitchen/bathroom & cloaks to The satisfaction of SWMBO  :bow: I finally made it to the Harrogate exhibition last weekend, accompanied by my better half (how I persuaded her to tag along lord only knows!). As mentioned prevously I was on the lookout for a lathe & possibly milling machine to complement my future garage conversion & needed to physically see my narrowed down choices rather than pick from catalogues with the intention of prioritising the milling machine. After flitting back & forth between two sellers- Warco /Chester(usual disclaimer) I finally plumped for the Warco WM16-VF, mainly due to price & size to fit into my garage.I was also eyeballing the WM250-VF lathe with power x feed  :drool: when lo & behold dearly beloved said why not get the lathe as well..  :  :bugeye:  :jaw: clap: once I got over the shock & picked myself of the floor..well not literally, no further prompting was needed  :ddb: I am now awaiting delivery of two new machines.. who says Xmas doesn't come early  :headbang: & birthdays, fathers day, anniversary.. for the rest of my remaining days  :lol: Will give a write up when I get them set up & tested out once I've done the garage out :nrocks:  :nrocks:

As David D says, congratulations! I have the smaller WM180V version of the Warco-badged Weiss lathe, and it serves me well for what I want to do.

But beware; for the fairer sex, revamping the kitchen/bathroom and cloaks usually comes under the heading of "normal obligations of a husband", so you may find yourself presented with tasks of Herculean proportions over the next few months (or years) to reduce your brownie point deficit.

PS I hope you meant to write "kitchen, bathroom and cloaks".  I'm trying hard not to think about  breakfast-time activities in a kitchen/bathroom.
