Alright, I've been given the go-ahead to turn one of the extra bedrooms into a turning room. What mini/midi lathe should I be looking at?
Still going to keep the shopSmith power pro downstairs for bigger items...

I was measuring and the tape measure tapped the blade before it stopped. Mine has been beyond top notch. Love it. Just need a new blade now.

I think it's a combination of it's softness and (at least now) a bit of fashionable wood snobbery that only white oak, walnut, or curly maple get shown on the Yalltubes.
I made several drawer dividers out of it and they have all lasted the last decade no problem.
I'm so dumb I did it twice!
I have scars from 2 similar incidents, one almost perfectly matching. Stitches both times.
