Very nice, Brian. Now you need to get a lathe and really turn out some bowls.

Yes! I agree 100%. That'll be my next big purchase. I keep drooling
over the Powermatic 3520B. I need to convince my wife that I "need" that much lathe.

"IF" you are not turning now and think you would like to get into turning,


Turning is a whole different aspect to woodworking and a fortune can be
spent on equipment and tools before you even know whether you will like it
or not.

I would strongly advise to buy close to entry level, but a decent brand,
lathe and start off with carbide tipped tools, something equivalent to
"Easywood Tools"". You really only need 2-3 of their tools to turn almost
anything and they do not require any sharpening equipment.

I have owned 2 different lathes for 30 plus years and never really got into
turning until the last 5-6 years.

It takes years of practice to become as proficient with a lathe as you are
with a table saw. You may not like it or have the patience.
