My FIL had a nice old big one that he used all the time. years after he died I was looking around his garage and it appears MIL sold it off or gave it away or ?? It isn't there. My son was pretty sad about that as he bought their old house and he wanted it too. He got himself a lathe but he's sure it's nowhere near the quality and sturdiness of the old one.
