Bill,
Got it.
F350 Crew Cab, long bed, diesel, dually, 4x4 (actually got it for my
business but it works for other stuff).

And the ATV with the 2500# winch and cart wasn't bad yesterday as I went to
the bottoms to bring out some hickory, oak, and pecan. Buddy, it takes a man
to lift some of that stuff. I see a chainfall in the future to load some of
that stuff to turn. I wanted some pieces to try some of Todd Hoyer's crotch
work ideas. One of the pecan pieces was a crotch base with four branches -
that'll be interesting deciding how to cut.

I just got back from AAW and so haven't had a chance to read all this
thread. But, has anybody mentioned the $30,000.00 pickup truck you need?

So, you wanna know what turning is gonna cost you? $10,000? Yeah,
that's a
start, but doesn't take into account the addictive nature of woodturning
and
the never ending yearning for more/bigger/better tools and equipment.

To give you a better idea, consider what a week's supply of heroin would
cost. Now, after a week on the stuff, you're hopelessly addicted. Now,
consider the cost of the addiction for the rest of your life. :-)

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.
