Morgan,
Wanted to let you know there is another Atlas lathe owner right down
the road from you (Tigard). I have a 10" similar to yours and quite a bit
of the supporting literature.
Drop me a note or phone and I will copy it for you.

Kevin,
Thank you! Will do, and probably buy you a cuppa coffee (or beverage
of your choice) soon.
BTW -- 'Morgan's Atlas' is a bit misleading -- it really should be
Morgan and Ed's Atlas, or Ed and Morgan's Atlas. I bought the base
machine and 'gave' it to a good friend who has shop space, which I don't,
my shop space is more -- umm -- primitive -- consists of a lean-to with
coal and propane forges, a couple of anvils and a couple of trip hammers.
I do blacksmithing, Ed does woodworking, and the two of us have been
bemoaning the need for a lathe for about 4 years. We find that with two
of us working on things, things get done a lot better and finished a whole
lot more often. The Atlas is the foundation of a series of rather
"creative" ideas we want to explore -- <chuckle>
Ed's present shop is the result of last winter's consumption of coffee in
near-psychedelic qantities. We've got a few other crazy projects to our
"credit" including a couple of trebuchets and skein-powered catapults...
(the trebuchets have been battle-tested <grin> Imagine a couple of
grey-haired old geezers in light armor facing an army of
testosterone-pumped young jocks carrying swords and spears...)
