I have been turning for many years and love it, don't want to give it up. However, I have developed some serious back problems (not from turning) and need to turn sitting down. I have considered springing for a $3000+ Oneway sit down lathe but I am also a very short (5 foot tall) woman and I am not sure it will work for me. Besides, before I shell out that much money, I want to be sure I can turn in a seated position. Therefore, I would like to mount a small lathe on a custom stand for sitting.
The internet has some limited resources. The only picture is from Hunt County Woodturners but I would like more ideas. If anyone has a sit-down lathe set up, I would love to see pictures, get advice, etc..
I absolutely LOVE turning and don't want to give it up.
Thanks.
