Mike, the pieces I'm currently working with are anywhere from 3"-6" wide. I hadn't thought about using a drum sander before, but it looks like it would do the job as well. After checking a few...

Yeah, I think the first step will be finding a bandsaw to use, then we'll see. I may find something on CL, or at the woodworking show, coming up soon, that I like. Thanks for the replies.

I agree, in the short term it will definitely be cheaper to buy the already prepped lumber, but I was just thinking if i was going to be doing this for a while, it may make sense to invest in some of...

I have been thoroughly enjoying my new scroll saw, and have about gone through all of my stock of 1/8" to 3/16" cocobolo. I found the original pieces at Rockler, but the small stock is very...

Thanks Glenn, that makes perfect sense. The blade appears to be square to the table, but I will have to do some testing with some thicker cuts and make sure everything is aligned properly. Thanks...

I am also in the market for a new drill press. I noticed that Woodcrafters has the Delta 18-900L on sale for 15% off. It brings it down around $700 before taxes. I'm going to check the local...

Well.... I really feel like a newbie now. I was able to loosen the bolts attaching the table to the base and move the table over a bit. All looks centered now, and I checked to make sure the blade...

I must say, this valentines day was the best yet. I was talking to my fiancee about putting together a workshop to start making her some buttons for her knitting projects. I came back from a...

David mentioned a Vicmarc chuck... will the lathe come with a chuck that I can use to start, or do I need to purchase one separately?

All good thoughts. Looks like I'm going to have to start looking for a Delta Midi 46 460. Thanks everyone! Now on to research all of the accessories and tools I'll need before I can begin.

Thanks for the additional input David and Tim. Would it make any difference in choosing a wood lathe if I wanted to turn super hard woods as well as some softer woods?

Hi Michael. Thank you for your reply. I'm actually not looking to do any metal work, at least I don't believe so... If you have any suggestions based on your wood turning I would be glad to hear...

Hi everyone! I've been introduced to this forum by a friend, and have thoroughly enjoyed all of the posts I have read so far. I am looking to start doing some turning on a lathe to make buttons for...
