So it's going to happen. You my little friend all the way from our childhood and until this day have found your self a new home. It has been a pleasure to have you in the house all this years. Yea I will miss you, allot. But we both know you are going to a good home and will be taken care of. We have had so many great times together, you remember the early days when we where allowed to start playing together. Yea I will miss you to, but you know you are going to a great place and great people.
My nephew is a top guy and he will take good care of you(you know he is a great machinist) and let you play with him. And I will let you have all your old "toys "with you that my father was buying to you when you lived with him, yes and all the new one I have given you the last years.

Ok guys.
My Old friend is going to my my childhood valley where I(we) grew up. My nephew who will take care of the Myford is a great guy and a well trained machinist, maybe more in to the CNC. His hobby is flyfishing, and some years a go he start building his own fishing-reels and I tell you those reels are buty.
My father(86 last month ) who was the first owner of the lathe do not know this yet. But I know he will be very happy to know the Myford is returning to our childhood valley.


Two years ago I bought a 12x36 china built lathe, and I tell you that I'm very pleased with it. Lack of space in the shop "forced" ;D me to send the Myford back home.
Yes I have allready introduced him(my nephew) for this site. I think he is lurking here from time to time ;D
I try to have some pic. of the move, over next weekend.

Hi guys.
The Myford have moved to its new home in our childhood valley. The "big move" was last Wednesday. Here is some pic. from the move.
Here is the lathe and my son waiting for our god neighbor who is hired for lifting( my back is hurting again) :redface2:

Ready for the base.

And here it is, loaded in the van ready to go.

Here its in it new home and the big smile on the right is my nephew who is the proud user of the lathe in the future.

Here you can see some of the beautiful fishing-reels he makes.

I had a chat with a guy to day and he tells me he have a small CNC-lathe. and if I like it I can have it for a small amount of money ;D so here I go to look at it.I will let you know how it's go. maybe a deal? :
Regards CS.
