    If it's space and not cost, a solution to consider in a shop that size might be the small portable DC from HF. Remove the casters and mount it to the wall. The Dust-Right 4" expandable hose and the...

    I'm another fan - using it with the JT Turning adapter as well, although the kit from Bob was just fine as it was. I also went with the "Rubber Chucky" gasket rings just for sake of ease - again...

    I recycle used grounds - just stir them occasionally to speed drying and to keep them from molding until they're completely dry. You might be overthinking it. :)

    A small garden stool would also be a fun project if you want to get that deeply into it. They have 2 "usual" shapes - one is rather like a drum (hollowed and perforated), the other is a mushroom...

    Congrats on the new lathe!

    I'll second the idea of phoning a friend for help in setting it up. I'm with Robo Hippy on the Brute Squad and had a similar experience to the one he described. I also...

    Another vote for keeping it simple. Determine cost to produce (Labor, raw material, and consumables) and add a markup. A sliding markup for larger sizes and nicer figure would be acceptable.
