Thanks for adding me, I'm an old woodworking hobbyist and have done quite a bit of remodeling as my house is 1950's vintage. I had the Steel City mini lathe for quite a while it finally gave out, actually, it was quite bad but served me for quite a few years as it got little use. Mostly small stuff. This week I upgraded to the Laguna 12 16, and have only tried a few things on it but WOW. I'll post a couple of photos of my shop that is in the Basement and about 15' X 40'. Most of my tools are quite old but have served me well. Other than the Laguna my newest tool is the DeWalt scroll saw. The carving mallet was featured in the latest AAW issue and was a good starter project. If anyone is interested on my profile I provided a link to my Lumberjocks page and you can see some of my other projects. I'm looking forward to exploring turning now that I have something decent. Stay tuned no telling what is next.
