Question for you guys... I have a grizzly g0800 lathe already but I also have a 4 and almost 7 year old that like turning with a lot of my help. The challenge is the grizzly is just to big to have them working on without some sort of step stool which is not safe. I was thinking of picking up a smaller lathe i could put out on a lower work bench when they want to turn. So far it’s mostly been pens and small spindle type turnings. Over time it could be some small bowls, etc. I was thinking of something like the rikon 70-220vsr as it seems like a well built lathe and woodcraft has it on sale for $150 off right now. I just wonder if it is to much of a lathe where it would be a pain to move around every so often? Or do you think I am crazy for wanting a 2nd lathe or should I just get a small 10” lathe like a grizzly or penn state one. Thanks!

The rikon arrives tomorrow. Craft Supplies matched woodcrafts sales price and shipped it the same day. Thanks.
