I keep finding myself here... I have no lathe, I have very little room in my shop. I have never spun anything... what are "you people" doing to me?I have so many more tools I "should" (using that term very loosely) be utilizing my money on. Why do my carpal tunnel hands already hate me for even pondering the thoughts in my head... I better get out of here... while the getting is still good!

Relax Rick. This won't hurt a bit. Come on in and play with us. You'll enjoy yourself. This won't hurt. Trust me......this won't hurt a bit.
Take a photo of any money in your wallet.....get a 12x10 print and frame it and place it on the wall above your new lathe so you can remember what cash USED to look like! But hey....relax...this won't hurt a bit.

I know this is all in jest but I can tell you what brought me to the turning world from the flat world was, the length of project time. I could make a beautiful bowl or vase in less than a day versus a month or more. It is also to me purely creative outlet that flat work does not do for me. I like both but if I could only do one type of woodworking it would be turning for sure.
So what this brings us to is that you need to go pic of that lathe as soon as possible you have been indoctrinated into the dark side and resistance in futile.

Rick-
Getting the lathe is the easy part. The hard part is figuring out which tools to get. Nightmare Smorgasbord.

Rick, don't resist, just jump in. This place made me remember how much I enjoyed turning on the cheap little lathe my Dad had when I was a kid. I started by buying a HF lathe when it was on sale for under $200. Used it a few years that moved up to a Nova 1624. Now I want a better lathe. I find lathe work very relaxing. I like flat work also, but there is just something more relaxing about lathe work.

Welcome Rick. Resisting is futile. I can already here the sucking sound. Really we all look forward to pictures of that new lathe.

Come to the dark side.

It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.
