Hello all. I'll say I'm new to turning. I loved working on the lathe in high school but that was over 30 years ago and just didn't really have access to one since then. Last year I went to my school shop on the weekend and turned out some beer tap pulls. I was very happy how quickly I remembered and I really enjoyed the work again. After lots of research, asked my wife for a lathe for Christmas. Ordered a Nova Comet II the day after and saved almost $90 over what it was listed in early December. It's backordered so I have some time to straighten out the garage and finish a couple other projects before I start delving into bowls, spindles and other projects.
