Just starting out in this hobby and trying to find out everything I can regards lathes, how to use them properly and what I can make with them. I was going to start a few years ago but something always got in the road now that I have retired I have the time but not necessarily the money. I Just found this site recently and what a joy it is. Just have to choose a lathe first, I like the look of the boxfords and raglans rather than the new Chinese lathes I know I will pick up enough tips here to help me choose

Hello David and welcome. I'm a Boxford owner so if you want to know anything then please ask.

If you'd rather not ask in public then I can be contacted via the 'Inbox' in the green banner at the top.

Brian

Hi David hope you choose a good one. I took ages deciding before I purchased. I think some of the Chinese ones are ok & a lot of members have them, so you can look at all angles. I guess any model you mention will get a reply from someone on here with the model.

Steve.
