So, I'm just getting my feet wet in turning. Doing small stuff on my midi. Decided I needed larger jaws for my little midi chuck (Nova) and stopped in to Woodcraft today. Was walking over to the turning tools section and noticed a larger lathe on display, a Rikon. I've been in that store a half dozen times this year and never paid that lathe any attention. But I noticed it today... wink.
Got over that distraction and found the jaws. ....And then I noticed the midi chuck sitting there. A couple days ago I realized why you guys have so many chucks as I changed jaws for the second time in the afternoon. I stewed over that chuck for 15 minutes, and then caved. Merry Christmas to me!
Guess that vortex is real. Better start saving for the big lathe.
