Well my new CarveWright machine got dropped off the truck today. I was reading threads today when I heard the UPS truck out front so I went out the garage to recieive the package. The UPS guy took a while inside locating my item but then appeared coming out the back with a dolly truck with my beloved machine riding atop. I watched in anticipation as the truck tires got closer to the ground. Only one foot to go, I breathed a sigh of relief. Then in a split second the truck got stuck on a bolt or something and the guy jerked it to try and free it as my package tipped over landing on a corner of the box and smashing down with force right there in the street. It had so much potential for being an effortless pleasant experience but it wasn't. The only thing I could think to do as I looked on with wreathing at this idiot was to say "Hey Thats Not What I Wanted To See Happen!" and I continued to say that this is a Precision Peice of Equipment! Well I figured that that incident was probably not as bad as what goes on out of our site when it comes to delivery and the box seemed to take the impact pretty well so I signed for it and took it in.

So I had to adjust the head pressure because it had a low reading but other than that I am happy to get my new machine. After seeing the settup video I was expecting the easy release chuck but after going on the site and looking up the new carvetight spindal I now realize that the new feature is the allen wrench tightning chuck which is supposed to work better.

Tonight I am going to register the machine and tommorow I am going to do my first project. The dust collector by Fletcher http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...ve-it-yourself
