I'm in the process of getting quotes for *everything* to setup a full wood shop. I haven't used a wood lathe since high school but want to add one to the shop for my own amusement (its been on my wish list for the past decade, but never had the space!). I don't really have any specific projects in mind except some pens, I enjoyed making those on my metal lathe years ago.

I'm looking at one of these: https://www.axminster.co.uk/axminste...r-stand-717616
It's their second largest lathe, but to step down from there takes you to a midi lathe. If I'm going to go for it I figure I might as well get something that's fully capable. This is the model they use in all the classes/show demos and seems quite capable?

So, to get to the point... what tools, work holding, accessories do you use the most?

I get to go tool shopping tomorrow, pretty excited to work on nailing down the list!
