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 |

I assumed it was a metal lathe but the post that suggested Rockler caused me to ask the question.
A metal lathe (Southbend, I hope) is on my wish list. I've been around a few machine shops and while DVD's or similar would be beneficial, I think finding someone local that can give you the basics is the best way to go. Put an ad on Craigslist and see what replies you get. Just don't put the ad in the M4M section! |
