Introductory post - Its all your fault

[Graham Hall]

I went out and brought a new lathe today and the way you all go on about it made it a pretty easy choice. I wouldn't want to shout it out loud but it is what most of you refer to as a Mustard Monster. < that was supposed to be a very small font :) > Here in the UK we call it Jet 3520b but I notice the rubber mat on top of the headstock says Powermatic . Feeling quite chuffed :D

You will find that the lathe is the cheapest part of woodturning. You have made an excellent choice. Welcome to the vortex.

Curt's right....it's a vortex that will suck you in! Welcome to SMC. Great community here, willing to help out whenever you need it.

[William Tanner]

Smart choice. You won't be sorry.

[Graham Hall]

I am already a few months into the vortex, this is an upgrade rather than a first lathe :)
