Well, at least they didn’t cancel 4th July this year! Fish fry and fireworks is hard to beat around here, that display is only 500 yards from my home. We thought it would be canceled this year, wife is elated about this news. At least everything isn’t broke.

You’re lucky, my city cancelled theirs already. Not sure about neighboring cities yet.

I don't think I can fit that in the lathe to chamber it. At least not any lathe I have seen.

Jackie Schmidt has one in his shop. They recently downsized from a 40 ft LeBlond to a 37 ft American Pacemaker

He shows it on a couple of BRC threads

You don’t have a big lathe until you need steps to get to the headstock!

Those are just for machinists less than 7 ft. tall.

That lathe is used for turning large candy cane blanks, prior to bending the 'hook', at the Wonka factory. The Oompa-Loompas have a tough time getting to the chuck without the ladder.

THE HORROR!

When you want to turn a real crankshaft then you got to step up the game.
This is like the machine that Enterprise Engines used to machine the crankshafts. I spent 6 months in the shop training with their mechanics before I started my real job of traveling all over the world to work on their engines. Pretty cool engines. They had a 15" bore and a 21" stroke. Turned 450 rpms. The 20 cylinder V config could produce up to 15,000 BHP. They had 16 cylinder units that could run in forward or reverse for ship main propulsion.
Great job to have straight out of college. Spent 1.5 years in St Croix rebuilding 2 16 cylinder units that produced electricity.

A 6 year old and a 4 year old are raking the yard.

The 6 year old asks, "You know what? I think it's about time we started learning to cuss."The 4 year old nods his head in approval.
The 6 year old continues,"When we go in for breakfast, I'm gonna say something with hell and you say something with ass."
The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.
When the mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6 year old what he wants for breakfast, he replies, "Aw, hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios.
WHACK!
He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up,and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit,slapping his rear with every step.
His mom locks him in his room and shouts, "You can stay there until I let you out!"
She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4 year old and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast, young man?"
"I don't know," he blubbers, "but you can bet your fat ass it won't be Cheerios!"
