Thread: I turned my lathe on yesterday

Didn't even put any wood on it, but I turned it on. Doesn't sound like much, but I needed to share with people who would understand. It's been about 3 or 4 years since it was last turned on, so it's a pretty big thing for me. What with getting a house ready for sale, going out every weekend looking at new places, moving house, and then having to sort out the new shed which is way smaller than the old one (getting a new one sometime...) and was jumbled with some junk and some good stuff left behind by the previous people, it's ben ages since I had a space that was empty enough to think about actually using the lathe rather than storing it. I finally over the last few weekends have had time to rearrange, sort, throw out etc and I have enough room to be able to stand at the lathe and use it. Hopefully next weekend for a project!
