OK, I have been lurking and learning for about 6 months..........
Finally bought my lathe (Rikon 1612 or 1216), got my initial supplies (bits,kits, chissels,finishing supplies, etc). I have been collecting blanks from online for months and have a generous selection. All I need is a stand to put my lathe on. My wife has allowed me a 4 ft wide portion of my balcony for turning. I live in an apt. and no room inside since my 23 yr old came back to stake his claim.
I want to thank all of you who have come before me and shared their knowledge and expertise here. I am so fortunate to have found this place to learn and hopefully tune my talents.
Can't wait to turn my first pen and to show you photos of the results as well as how small my "workshop" will truely be.
See you soon and thanks again!
