G'day and welcome to the forum.

:D G'day mate's Thanks for the welcome. Have not had much time to do any wood turning as we moved to a farm & as usual the house was to small it is 185% larger & I have only the windows to do [ 35 ] In 1/4 cut silky oak. [ Your wish is my comand ].
I have a Vicmarc Lathes VL 850. I have no complaint's [ as I dont know any better ]
I have been turning for 5 months in 5 years. I would like to start making Pen's etc. I think I would be better with a smaller Lathes. Has any one got any suggestions. [ now that is a silly Question ]

Not firmular with the format. It is said a man can only do one thing at once. Why can't a woman do anything else when she has a Headacke.:((

G'day Smithy and welcome to the show. Good to have you here.:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

That lathe will be fine for turning anything from small to whatever size the swing over the bed is. Don't forget - you can turn small things on a big lathe but not big things on a small lathe.

Quarter Silky!! Nice!!:2tsup:
