Hi all -
I bought a lathe, used, about a year and a half ago, simply because I got it for what I would consider a great price. I have no real lathe experience, have played with it a couple times, but haven't made anything yet. Can anyone offer some good ideas for things to turn, that are relatively easy, but useful? I do not have a chuck, yet, though I am considering picking up a Nova as I really want to learn this skill more.
The lathe I have is a Delta 46-460 w/ extension bed. As far as tools go, I have a set of the Benjamins Best turning tools, which came with the lathe purchase.
Thanks for the ideas and insight!
