Great to peek in here! I loved turning in JHS wood shop, but don't have the time or space right now for a setup. Definitely a post-retirement bucket item.

I do have a "lathe", inherited from my FIL. Can't beat Monkey Wards for quality, 4' bed, 120 dB universal motor with self-adjusting speed, and enough power to turn wax candles.


Have a full set of "General" tools (precursor to HF tools) and the spousal unit bought me a basically identical set of Delta when we moved in here some 20+years ago (they have a picture of the Norm on the box!).

So, yes. Someday. A local turner is "world famous" and teaches classes, etc. so I'll check with him at some point when I start down the dark path.

Side question,
Pottz, why do you throw meat balls at your clip board?
