Stryped sez:

"What is a lath good for?"

A lath is a thin narrow strip of wood useful for building lattices or
holding plaster to walls.

I found a 36 inch used metal lathe for sale for 350. What would this be
good for? I like working with metal. I have a couple of welders and am
wanting to increase my tools in my garage!
