I hope you will forgive this temporary OT digression from the wit &
words about the best lathe, the best tool, the best technique offered by
the best informed with the best angst.

I enjoy the discourse on rcw. It needs no monitor nor pictures and I
wonder if pics of pots and the posts of praise that usually follow may
sometimes hinder good repartee and innovative thinking. Is a picture of
a turning always worth a thousand words about turning?

Visuals have a necessary place, but do any of you agree that written
words might sometimes better inform and entertain than pics and videos?

Enough of this OT digression, back to our ng. What do you think is the
best ten dollar lathe for a 84 year old COC and average turner who got
his first Sears Dunlap in 1937 when a shallow bowl was considered to be
a deep hollow form? Oh, never mind.


Turn to Safety, Arch
