Hello Martin
I am glad to hear that our gas prices are not as high as what you are paying.
But I still feel our prices are way higher that what they should be !
I cant help to wonder if we are really comparing apples to apples when we talk
prices. Depending on the price of living (annual income compared to the true
expensive.)
A while back now, I was restoring a dresser in one of the drawers there was a
price label marked $22.50 with the stores name on it. and the date 1900.
I found out the average income was $430.00 per year.that would make this
dresser EVERY Expensive for its time. and Un-believably cheap in today's world.
Basically I'm just saying is the price is not always the real number we think
it is..
Having said that, I would think that you might be one of the kind of person who
would be more interested in making and learning how things are made, ( trying
to avoid the added expensive) .
I have made A Lot of parts for my machine over the last few years. Mainly I do
this because I don't want to pay top dollar unless I have to for anything, and
secondly because I think that I just might be able to make it my self.
I've made my own motor drive unit for the Legacy, I've also made my own
ball-bearing head stock on my mill, as well as other jigs and ...
I bought a book the other day, just for the name of it, The name on the book
is. The Frugal wood turner. by Ernie Conover. that's my kind of book! Even with
out reading it The title says it all !
(It is a very good book if I do say so my self,It is all about how to make
parts of the lathe and to know what you really need to have,to become a better
wood turner.) "Well" I would guess in, that since I'm the Frugal Legacy owner.
I would like to know how many of us are out there? ;-)
Have a good night Martin (And everyone else.) Its past my bed time now. ;-).
Talk to you all latter .
C.A.G.

Hi to all, reading the topic of shipping your machine Dexter, (I won't say
anything nasty just in case you're THE Dexter on TV) and I was shocked at the
price quoted for diesel. Living in the UK we really get screwed on this. In
2008 we were paying $6 per US gallon and today it's $8.64 and it is due to rise
again for "environmental" reasons.!!
On another note does anyone in the membership ship stuff to the UK?
Sorry, I know nothing to do with woodworking but the last bit does relate to
buying tools.
Regards to all, from Martin, of Martinsbootfair.

The SHIPPING was about $200 - the machine I got for a deal of $850. No
legs, but most of the important accessories. The shipping today would
probably be more now that diesel fuel cost $4.00 per gal.
I am located just outside of Anniston, AL , surrounded by Talledega
National Forest.
