I'm a relative newcomer here, thrilled to have found such a wonderful forum. I'm looking for a new woodworking avenue to spend massive amounts of money that I don't have, and have become obsessed with the idea of learning to turn. I'm interested in both bowls and spindle work, probably leaning more toward bowls, and I've been patiently looking for an opportunity to pick up an older lathe with a pretty limited budget, that will serve my needs for at least a while (you all have probably never heard that one before!). I just found a Powermatic 45PREKIMBER-1-2.jpg for sale for $500. I'd be grateful for more learned opinions and comments about suitability and price. Many thanks, Daniel
