I got a great deal from my neighbor for his old lathe.
Do I need it? Absolutely no! Did I want one for the last 20 years? Hell yes! Here is my problem: I have NO clue how to operate/use it. Amy recommendation about "how-to-do" books or DVD? Thanks, dc |

Like everything else, the lathe is just the down payment. If your lathe didn't come with chisels and at least one chuck, you will have to get some - try Craigslist.
There are lots of tutorial videos on Youtube. If there is a Woodcraft or Rockler store in your neighborhood - visit them. They both have books and dvds. Probably even beginning classes which will provide a lathe, necessary tools and proper techniques. It's a good and creative hobby, good luck. |
