I figured I put at least 1750 hours on my PP turning 90 bowls last year and probably 200 hours operating my two band saws and 10" disk sander making 30 jewelry boxes this year so far. Add in another 100 hours or so on my other projects for a total of at least 2050 hours without a single issue. Do I like my PP. You betcha. And the best part is No Maintenance, zero, zilch.

Hey, that's even more than you can say for Jimmy B's seaplane.

But I'd still rather have his his seaplane.

I'd rather have the mythical Hemisphere Dancer from Joe Merchant.

The one in the (fictional) book is a Goose. (Joe Merchant)

The one in the (non-fiction) book is an Albatross (A pirate looks at 50)

And, the one that he crashed is a Widgeon.

Fred,

Fred, 2000 hours is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 50 weeks. I thought you HAD a job???!!!!

Yep, I turned every night starting at 5:00 til around 11:00 on week days and from 8:00 til 8:00 on most weekends for most of the year. When not turning or sanding I was cutting blanks out of logs on my band saw.
