Well, I got my lathe. The Jet 1014 Mini Wood Lathe.
Still in the box though. Will try to set it up today.
The reason it is still in the box as I spent most of yesterday putting together a Mastercraft Workbench. They were on sale at CT for $69.99 (half price). Pretty good size. 48" wide, 24" deep, and about 60" high at the back. Has a bottom shelf, work surface, peg board on the back and a top shelf. And 2 drawers.
Assembly wasn't to bad except that for some reason they always have you putting "locknuts" in the most inaccessible places. Lots of cursing and swearing. LOL! Took a while too. It's a bugger to put these large things together when you are by youself. You spend half your time wrestling with the bloody thing. LOL! Must weigh over a 100 pounds.
Anyway, also got a bench grinder, and a 16" scroll saw. Will wait for the new Delta 10" bandsaw to come out and see if I can fit that in somewhere.
Just have to get all the small things now. Clamps, Chisels, sandpaper, calipers, face guard, bench brush, couple of extra faceplates, etc... etc...
Making a list and then hit LV or BB.
Great Stuff!
