I have never wanted to get involved in turning until I started hanging around you guys!
After yesterday attending the Hardwood Store 20th Anniversary, I had the chance to hang out around the members that do the deomostrations for those interested in woodworking. My interest has been peaking somewhat.
I would like to start looking into a purchase of a level entry lathe, or one that is not going to cause me to take a mortgage on my house!
Can you give me a little insight as to what to look for in a lathe and maybe what not to look for?
Any accessories that might be good or needed would also be good to know. I am on the quest to find the Dewalt DW788 type 1 scroll saw. That will be a challenge in itself, but am still looking. I figured while looking for that I could learn about the lathe and start doing research on what is what and what may or may not be needed or good purchases to be had.
I think this would also be good for anyone else that may have same questions about getting into turning!
