Hi folks,

Just got a lathe (free) so I hope no one minds if I will be asking questions down the road.

Great site

Hi John -

Welcome to the Creek! Glad to have you.

Free lathe, huh? Nice score. Of course you should know the picture police will be knocking on your door for pictures of your gloat. :) ;) :)

Welcome,
Ted

JohnNow there's a dilemma. How do you take a picture of a camera? Guess a mirror would be involved. :) :D :)

Sounds like a good find. Congrats.

John,
Welcome to the creek. Great place to learn. The best place to learn about turning is in front of that free lathe though.
Enjoy!

John,

Welcome to the Creek! I am sure you will enjoy your stay here!

I have an OLD craftsman lathe as well. She still turns though and that is all that matters. As John said, the best way to learn is to turn some small pieces in front of that lathe and get a beginers turning book.
