Hello Michael
I am sorry to hear about your fathers passing. ( I know its been 7 years, but
that loss never quite leaves you.)
Its hard for me to understand, a wood turners club would not like the Legacy???
but like what I said earlier, spindles are not what peoplewant to make today.
The ornamental look (flutes and roping mainly. ) Is something form the past
generations, Even thought I like this type ofconstruction, people today just
are not into it.I met an Antique dealer, not long ago. He told me his sales are
way down, and no one under 50 yrs. old ever comes into his store any more.
I don't know what people like or want any more. A garage full of tools! "Man"
that is my idea of a dream come true. So what ever happen to allthose tools of
your dad's? I hope you found a good home for them? or at least keep what you
could?
Its like the song that I posted form Ricky Nelson, Garden party, "You cant
please everyone...So you might as well please your self." ;-)
Have a great day.
C.A.G.

Hello Bill,
Parallel thoughts; have no family member that is the least bit interested or
appreciative, schools don’t teach hand skill classes any more (at least here in
NY), loaned my 1200 LOM to the Mohawk Valley Woodturners club for a solid year
in 2014 they had no interest so I brought it back and it’s been in storage
since.
Interesting how one’s mind starts to work when the body and mind remind you
every day that sands in the hour glass are running out.
My dad who made his living as a carpenter passed away some 7 years ago at age
88 leaving behind a garage full of tools that I couldn’t even give away, most
of the power and cordless ones where those that I had given him.
The last several years of his life he kept saying that they’d all be mine as I
was the only heir in the building trades.

I feel your pain guys i have a workshop full of stuff to and 4 sons to leave it
all too one day, accept none of them are the slightest bit interested in any of
it. When I am ready one day in the far future to stop rather than just scrap I
think I will donate to a club or school or something

How right you are Curt, I have had about a dozen men and women looking at my
house that is for sale, and not one of the men showed any interest in the
contents of my two workshops ---- a metal work one with lathe milling machine
drill press etc.etc.
Woodwork one Record wood lathe Revo LOM, Radial arm saw Scroll saw Woodrat
another drill press and several routers and other wood working equipment.
When I move a lot of it will go to scrap not the Revo or Scroll saw

Hello and Good morning Micheal.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
The Legacy and the Lathe for that matter are tools that honestly not many
people today are interested in. and those who
are only do a few things on them. ( pens or bowls) For some reason at this time
people don't make spindles.( and that is what the Legacy does best!)
My guess is, Someday Like the OT lathes , People will come back to them, Sadly
it may take 100 yrs, but what's old will become new again, Someday.
Have a great day.
I for one am going out to the shop and PLAY, And I will be using my Legacy.

Agree with Curt about the Piano Stool.
BTW; interestingly I have a lead on a 1200 motorized LOM very close to me but
the owner’s son who inherited it some 10 years ago wants unrealistic full
retail calling it a duplicator. This discussion is periodically surfacing
within in this group as to what these mills are really worth, but I guess it
boils down to how bad either side wants it, the flip side is that at my age my
heirs will soon wind up with it (them) and the saga will continue.

Hello everyone.
Bill I like the Piano stool with or with-out the center.
Richard what stile furniture are you thinking about making?
If you want a more modern look you could make it with a very long twist and
make a square twisted leg. That might be neat?
I cant wait to see what you come up with.
Take care.

Hi Curt
Your first one is a bit too elaborate and the second one too plain.But keep
them coming please I Don't want to use the lathe for this job if possible.
Bill too little imagination. I do like a flute or two.
ROGER
Now if I could make the legs on my Scroll Saw I would really have achieved a
something in life !!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I hope I get a few more suggestions.
