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...

When you hate cleaning up the shop...

@jpaskaruk

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.

So I did a thing, but not sure I should brag about it.... #sawstop

@jamigibbs
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.

@jamigibbs

I'm so dumb I did it twice!

@jamigibbs

I have scars from 2 similar incidents, one almost perfectly matching. Stitches both times.

So I think the motor makes it look a little like Darth Vader, so I guess that makes my shop Mustafar...right? #woodworking #newtool #newtoyjoy
@jamigibbs I don't have any rosewood, but I do have some purpleheart if you want it to really pop
So today I did a thing. With my wallet. I've been using mine a lot more lately and the price on this upgrade couldn't be beat. #shopsmith #powerpro
