Took my 25% coupon to harbor freight on the 1st. Purchased the 34706 model that is spoken rather highly of for being a HF model.
Actually had to call to another store 2+ hours away to get my hands on one. My father-in-law picked it up and will be bringing it by soon.
I've only made pens on my benchtop lathe before I broke the belt. I tried my hand at a bowl that made me anxious to move to a bigger lathe with the adjustable speed. While I'm waiting for the lathe to arrive, I think I'm going to take another trip to HF to pick up their HSS turning tool set to replace my mini lathe tools I use for pen making.
Also am considering a turning class at Woodcraft by me if I can find the time. Anyone have any links to good online videos for bowl or vessel turning that they like?
