I have just started into wood turning and completed a 2 month turning intensive program in Maine at the Center for Furniture Craftmanship. Beth Ireland my instructor along with Dixie Biggs and Mark Gardner were just great. So much information and so little time.
I live in Dallas Oregon and retired from a work injury in 2008. I've started to set up a shop. It's 12' x 24'. I have purchased a new 2436 Laguna lathe still have to assemble it. Then start collecting chucks and different tool rest. I hope to have a piece of my work published in the AAW gallery in the near future. I have also entered this one piece in the 2022 AAW Exhibition. So we sill see how it goes, hope for the best. I'm now looking for a band saw, strongly considering the Laguna 14BX 220 model and the MBA14BX light (220 model). I would appreciate some feed back on this. I did consider the Grizzly G0817 model. But I feel maybe Laguna from Woodcraft may offer better support if needed! Any input would help. I'm looking forward to everyone's input.
