Hello Everyone from the Mitten State,
I just picked up a lathe (10" x 18") and some tools from the local Harbor Freight. After watching a few videos and reading a few reviews it seemed like a good lathe to start with without spending a lot of money. With a sale, coupons, and a couple of gift cards I got out of the store pretty cheap.
I think I'm going down another rabbit hole with this new hobby. I stayed up till 1 AM the other night turning my first project, a new shift knob for my Saturn Ion. Honestly I think it's too nice for the car!
I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions and have a lot fun using this new toy. I already have gifts figured out for four or five friends and family.
Thanks,
Andy
