Just starting out and beginning to get organized. Lathe is a Jet 1220,
Should have gotten a bigger one, but I needed to know if I'd enjoy turning. ..........Love it!!!

I also have the jet lathe. I use it more than my big one. Picked it up from a friend of mine when he decided he didn't enjoy turning as much as he thought he might.

Keoni, it looks like you are off to a good start.
Nice shop!

Nice, I still don't have a lathe yet myself.

Looks like you have the essentials for turning, except maybe a chainsaw
I have the 1220VS and love it, even though I'm just getting started. Like you, I wish I had bought bigger, but that may be 'Tim the toolman' speaking as I have not come near the machine's limits yet.
