Hello from Australia

Hi everyone,
I just purchased my first wood lathe, a Myford BL8.
I am currently restoring the cabinet and cleaning the lathe. Can't wait to make lots of wood shavings.

Welcome aboard.
Good to see a few Ausies on this site.
If you are interested you could look at my post restoring a Wadkin RS6 wood lathe.
Hope you post some pics of your progress

Welcome to the asylum, woodturning is an addictive and enjoyable hobby, bloody expensive too

Hi and failte. I don't have a lathe personally but have successfully turned lots of lovely walnut, elm and oak into hamster bedding for the local kids and my neighbour's ferrets.
