Assuming that I do not keep my midi lathe, I want it to be good news and not bad for the next owner. I would really prefer it to go to someone who is experienced or being trained in lathe safety. I also want it to go to someone who is not naive about costs.
A couple of things I thought of: I live near Palomar College and could offer it to a Palomar College Woodworking student at the advice of an instructor, confirming this student has had basic training.
I could sell it through the San Diego Wood Turners, with some kind of references that the person has had some basic training.
It is not just a matter of legal liability - I don't want to hurt anyone.
Any other recommendations on how to find out if a person knows lathe operations & safety before receiving it? I would far rather give someone a super deal if they will enjoy a safe hobby, than just go on Craigslist.
Thanks
