    Nova Orion

    I couldn't stand it any longer, had to have one ! I've had the Orion for two weeks and am looking forward for many years of use out of a very fine lathe. It has an 18" swing, comes standard with a 22" bed extension, rotating head stock and of course the variable speed DVR motor. Do you think it...

    Packard Woodworks

    I was instructed by my wife to pick out a b'day present so I decided to make a trip to Tryon and visit Packard. They don't have a show room but you can purchase items over the counter. Just to let you all know they are very nice folk and very accommodating for "walk in's", as I was on that day...

    Okay,I guess this question will be open for various opinions. I've noticed Packard has their own brand of turning tools and I was wondering how they stack up to others such as Sorby ,Thompson ,Crown and P&N just to name a few? And I understand as always, it comes to price and what you can get...

    A "Bully" in our neighbor !!

    I think it's only right to warn everyone about a "Bully" in the neighborhood. He has carbide teeth and eats hardwood as if it were butter. His name is "Peeler" from J&B Tools. I'm talking of course about my new roughing tool Santa brought me. I got to try it out today on some hickory and believe...

    Ci0 Easy finisher

    I guess I have several questions about this tool before I plunk down $139 + for it and I've seen the You Tube video. Has anyone ordered and used this tool, yet?
