    Whaler, you around? Starter turning tools

    I tried to send you an email through the site, but it may not have gone through. I picked up a 1940 Powr-kraft branded lathe at a garage pre estate, sale. (guy retired at 87 due to loss of shoulders)
    His tools sold with his other, larger lathe. Can you recommend what you would tell someone starting out to get? I see doing things like spindles, handles for tools, pens, and smaller items. (don't really see the point of bowls, at least not on a small lathe)

    Thanks

    Your email showed up this morning and you have a reply on the way. I'm a bit rushed right now but I'll get back to you later today, may have a real deal for you.

    Just sent you a PM.

      all the e-mails leaving the site got delayed when the mail server hung. Apparently for at least 40 days before it was noticed.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
