Thanks for all of the previous info about getting my garage set up. I ended up settling fo the $40 1976 craftsman 12" with tools. I thought it would give me a starting point and some left over money to buy a drill press and small band saw.
I turned my first anything which was a pen. I slightly screwed everything up form cutting the blank to putting it together.
it is very plan but it is functional. I seemed to have some trouble getting a smooth run with the the tool. The were a few lines that I had to sand out. Is this typical or is it a matter of practice?
I will send pics of the new shop and maybe the new pen but it is a very plain $1.00 blank. My neice wants me to make her a rainbow colored one. Are the blanks that have been glued together with different colors much harder to turn?
I lost my other thread and do not know how to look up an old one without endless searching. Is there a better way? Also you can see I don't take time spell checking. Is this "I spell" safe and functional? Sorry fo all the questions.
