Just curious, who owns a lathe....

Would not be without one.

3 going on 4 . A turner ? all the time ,many a time ,even when i haven't got time . But most of the time . The real question is how many turning chisels do you have and which ones do you use the most and which the least .:roll:
ILL count up mine tomorrow and scare my self.:doh:

Just had to update this thread... boots'n'all as Stu put it!:D

we have somthing in the shed that looks like a lathe but the downside is the Ryobi name on the side

yer mine is dark blue and has 3 letters i an afraid to mention.:B

I collect antique fixer uppers, current collection is a Record Power Drillmaster.

I play at turning but I very much a learner

I'd like to have one but have resisted because.

- no room in the shed
- if I got one I'd do nothing else except fiddle with it for the next 3 years
- SWMBO is already asking too many questions about my tool purchases

Cheers

I'm with Skew, I have a Colchester Master 2500 4' Bed and a Myford ML7 which I could turn in the Colchester! and yes the colchester intimidates me since some metal flew out of the chuch and out threw the roof! :o Left and interesting rectangular hole in the roof which is a conversation starter. :roll:

Ouch.

... nah I'm not a collector; can only afford one with my tastes.

old technatool ti something or other but it hasn't been used since 2006. Only coz 2007 was a mongrel sister screwing big assssssed slaggy bitch awefullous McScrudeon ...................... of a year and I'm glad to be rid of it.

Don't think you realised this, but we're talking about Wood Lathes here :doh:

Oh... I only have one of those - all the rest are made of metal. :rolleyes: But I reckon that's still probably one more than most people here. :p

As for chisels... that varies. Are we talking handled or unhandled here? And even that varies quite a bit in my shed, depending on how many concrete nails have fallen out of my broomstick offcuts. :-

Yep I am a good turner... ( Everday since birth I have been able to turn my food into :seald:)


Oooh You mean the wood lathe. No wish I could say I was a turner but I am working on it; I love to play
Toni:)

I have 2 a bigun & littleun. I see the term "turner" wasn't defined so I can claim to be one as I have occasionally turned a valuable timber resource into material for the mulch pile.
