You know, I was trying to go to sleep, but after seeing this I don’t know if I’ll be able to.

Thank you, much appreciated. I just asked my friend Chuck if he was a Lathe Chuck, and as luck would have it, Chuck is in fact a Lathe Chuck.

I now know who can hollow out small children with insane precision.

EtA: I really do appreciate the ID on the Lathe Chuck!

It’s an iron lung. Used to use them to help people breath when polio was sever enough to warrant it.

Tell me you’re trolling? It’s an industrial lathe. Probably non functional, but if turned on would shred that kid like tissue paper in a lawnmower.
