Sorry, I know this is a common question here from newbies I'm sure but I've looked around and googled names of lathes that alot of you guys are talking about and they are in the thousands of dollars. (Holy Smokes[:0] ) Just to turn out a few pens?
I'm obviously new and thought I'd like to try my hand at this. Let see....maybe a couple hundred for a lathe, 50 -60 for some tools, pen parts and wood. Maybe $400 for start up.
Anyone else out there like me, or does everyone drop a few grand to start? [B)]
Not trying to be a wise acre, just trying to get a feel for it. I searched lathe and came back with like 750 hits. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
