- What do you enjoy the most about SMC? The valuable information freely given by others with more experience. Now that I have fallen into the Vortex, I enjoy seeing others turning projects.
- What is the make, model and year of your lathe? Jet Mini 1014 purchased used in May 2007 Jan 2008 I just got my PM3520b.
- What is your lathe's capacity? The PM3520b has a 20" swing and 35" between centers. The Jet mini has 10" x 36" with the bed extension. I guess its owner's inexperience is the limiting factor.

Well I finally got a 'round 2it' so here's my contribution. I have discovered that I still possess the capability to blow a bowl all to ^&*(, haven't found all the parts yet. I was working with some green (fell out of a white oak in my front yard last Sunday) wood had it going decent just smoothing it out a bit and blooey parts went every where. Just to ease my frazzeled nerves I put a piece of cherry on and made a small box. Its not complete yet I have to make the lid probably out of dunnowood the cherry piece was to small. Nuff about that on with the show.

When did you join SMC?I joined in March of 2005.
How did you first find out about this site?
I read about it in an email magazine. I think it was called the Woodworker's Ezine or something like that.
What do you enjoy the most about SMC?
I like SMC because whenever I have a question, no matter how stupid, or how many times it has been asked before, I can always get an answer, usually pretty quickly. I also love seeing what everyone else is working on.
What is the make, model and year of your lathe?
My lathe is an old Rockwell/Delta, I don't know the model or year. It used to belong to my wifes grandfather, when he moved into an apartment I got it and most of the other equipment from his shop. You can see the whole thing here, keep in mind, the video was shot over a year ago when we first moved in, the shop is a lot messier now!
What is your lathes capacity?
It has a 12" swing and I believe it is 36" long. It can be set up to turn outboard but I haven't tried that yet.
