    Nova 1624 II?

    Has anyone worked with the Nova 1624 II? I'm looking at it to replace another lathe I have and would like to know if it has a mobile base attachment that can be added or if I would need to purchase a separate mobile base to go with the lathe. Any good advice is welcomed.

    Segmented ornament!

    I turned my first segmented ornament and am so very excited about it! I don't have finish on it yet but I finished the sanding down to 320. When I part it off, I will put a small eye hook in the stem so that it can hang on the tree.
