I've keeping an eye out for metal lathes locally and this wood lathe popped up;

£50 - bargain!
Felt a bit guilty as brand new it would be £200+ but there you go! Picked it up yesterday and it's a very solid piece of kit. Much better than my old man's one I used as a wee lad.
It'll be nice to have a play again. I would guess I would have been 16 when I last did any wood turning.
Just need space to set it up, time to play and some gouges & chisels!
