I'm only a few steps away from taking the turning plunge?

I need to know what whistle to use so I can call one home to me.
One thing not to forget is to drape something over the Jointer so wet shavings go not make nice big piles of rust on it.

I took the old shower curtain off the jointer for the picture. I may hang it between them after I redo the dust collector drop to have a hose for the lathe.
Thanks all. As for why the Robust over all others, there are many reasons and most have already been listed. As an engineer, I really appreciated the design and attention to detail. Will I ever use all of the lathe's capabilities, probably not, but I would rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them. I am keeping my Jet 1220VS for small things like pens. It seems silly to me to fire up a 3hp beast to turn a pen.
The final reason I spent 2X more for the AB as the PM3520B was something tim_t said last year when he got his AB. IIRC, he was trying to decide which to get and either his Mom or MIL asked which he wanted and told him to get it. I figured my Dad, who loved my shop, would have said the same thing. So after he passed in 2014, I set aside the funds to get this. I look at it as my last present from him and will cherish my AB even more, thinking of him every time I use it. (I know, sometimes I just get sappy
)

It really was with the caster kit on it. I backed the trailer up so the ramps went over the door threshold and I controlled the speed it rolled down the ramps (pushing it up) while LOML and #2 daughter steered it from the top. Just let gravity do most of the work.

One of those is very, very high on my wish list (assuming I ever learn the basic turning skills). Congrats......
