    This lathe here at this site. He sells all the component in a kit form for landed in Australia for $387.95US does this sound extravagent or not a bad price? This includes all the fitting and 2 rossettes the only thing I would have to make is the base and headstock and the pulleys. Does this sound a good deal or very expensive?
    Thanks Toni

    He sells all the components in a kit form so what exactly is in the kit

    I don't have one of Jon's but saw at least 8 or 9 of the MDF lathes at his place when he generously hosted an OT gathering in the fall of 2007. Some were altered to suit the owners equipment and most were as designed. All worked well and can make beautiful objects. One guy made a pewter escutcheon plate for a doorbell button, showing that it will cut soft metals too.

    If you email Jon and tell him what you are wanting to do I'm sure he can give you some ideas on how to use his kit to fit your lathe bed. If I remember correctly extra rosettes are about $25 US each.

    He is an honorable guy that will help if he can.
