I just bought my first lathe for home. Decided I couldn't wait until I found a PM90 cheap. But I'm not hooked, it's just that it was on sale. I don't have a turning problem. I did order some pen kits from Arizona Silhouette today but I can stop anytime. Hopefully this will keep me from bidding on the 20" jointer on e-bay.

Take 12 steps and call me in the morning:eek: .
The first step is to admit you HAVE a problem! Turning is addictive-NO PROBLEM!!! You won't need that jointer now anyway:D .
YeeHa, Got another one!

Chuck, as another newbie I can tell you .................... IT'S HOPELESS ... THERE'S NO ESCAPE!!! The only hope we had was to never have started in the first place!! I went to the wood show Friday and bought a few things. I went back to the wood show Saturday and bought more (and everytime the price tag went up, up, up!!!). I finally got to the point that I handed my credit card to the gal at the Craft Supply booth and told her she might as well just keep it!:D I gave my car keys to my wife this morning so I can't go back again (unfortunately that didn't stop me from calling Woodcraft to order up a new grinder!!!);)

Chuck...while you're working on your denial...remember this. It is so addicting that you won't have time to eat. Just reinvest that grocery money into tools.;) Congratulations!!:)
