He told me I'd be inheriting the lathe and picking up the torch, so to speak... but he said he will still consult and continue to work on smaller projects.

You have to respect that.

Highest congratulations and best wishes for you, your mentor and the business. I am amazed at that Arvon in the initial post - simply incredible. I have a few questions on rack making, but will PM those....

Again, congratulations and best wishes!

You make a good point.
