Novice to a wood latheOct 23, 2009
Never worked a wood lathe before and I have to say the setup was easy and I started making templates for chess pieces my first day. The instruction manual was weak so I bought a wood lathe book with technique tips and instructions.
Heavy, durable, and powerful, easy to use....I'll use this tool for years to come for the many projects I plan for the grandchildren. A nice set of accessories are also available.
