I'm sorry it came across that way.

What, did you win a lottery or something, or are you just bragging?

Thanks for the responses to my other post.

The $10,000 came from sitting with a catalog and starting a list of what
would be needed, or wanted, and came up with around $5000. Then adding
the
lathe, probably a Oneway. Basically a $5000 tag for a lathe.

Reason? To get some handle on where this all could go. And the other is
that
over the years I've found that buying the cheapest is not the cheapest. I
tend toward perfectionism and might complain of the failings of the
equipment if too cheap. My general equipment experience over my career is
fairly extensive.

I've reservations in August to do a week of Basic Woodturning in Ripley,
WV
at Cedar Lakes.
