Bob, thanks for the lead. I did some checking and then called and talked to John Miller. Very interesting guy and I learned a lot from him. It is a little more (well a lot more) then the one from...
Hi Peter, I am very interested in you views on thread cutters. It seems like you have checked most of the ones on the market. So yes please send any and all the info you have to help me make a...
Your PM will be very happy with Doug's tools. I can not say enough good about his tools. I love the bowl gouge and the spindle gouge. I also have a skew and that has become my favorite tool of all...
I really like the form and finish. Too bad about the crack thou. We don't have Ambrosia Mable here in Oregon, just old big leaf maple which is not much fun, but I like the grain and color. I did...
Good job sir. I really like the finish. Show me more please.
Thank you all. I think I will look into making my own. Thanks again and I hope Marvin gets better fast.

About ready to pull the plug on buying the Laguna. Would really welcome any and all input good or bad. Have been turning on a Nova 1624 44 for the last few years but want to get into green bowls. ...
John, excellant report. I have been trying to decide which lathe to by next and you have given me some very good information. I went to my local (Eugene, OR) store today and looked at there floor...
I just ran across your post today. I am in the market for a bigger lathe and don't know what I want. Looking at the Laguna 2036 or the Laguna 18-36. Then I keep coming back to the PM 3520.
