Dominic, I picked up a lathe a month ago for a 'fun' woodworking tool. So far I've been way too busy to do anything more than turn an old piece of osage orange. Sure made lots of mustard coloured chips and dust. As soon as I get some remodeling done, and the basement cleaned, and the barn roofed....................Sometime I'll have to spend quality time with that lathe. And yes, I will have to check out the magazine. Thanks for the reply.
