Hi,
I'm looking for a good web site on lathe work. I need to know about
lathes in general before I sink a lot of money into one, then advise on
how to use one for simple projects. Maybe a good bet would be a book or
magazine; any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jerry

You're on a good resource. Do a Google search under the "Groups" link
for keywords having to do with your questions and see what you get.
Here's the link:

Also, take a look at Darrell Felmate's site at
http://www.aroundthewoods.com/.

His site has a lot of good, practical information, galleries and how-to
advice. He offers some common sense approaches to making things work
without running to the tool store.
