Right now I am feeling like that little kid looking at all the presents under the christmas tree getting all fidgety and impatient knowing that the days are getting closer to when I head up to Auckland and collect my Nova 1624 series 2 lathe from Terry at Timberly woodturning and I can say goodbye to my little 10 inch chinese made wood lathe that seems to have multiple brands put on it. While it served me well over the last year of my journey in learning about woodturning and it took everything I threw at it without falling to pieces the time has come to take it up a notch and go to a bigger and better lathe to help me continue this journey I have started.
