Newbie turner....

hi - i'm a new wood turner (have a 2nd hand Shopsmith)

Have been a diy "potterer" for ever... and am also looking to see if i can upgrade my lathe - something a bit more robust.

Hi I have a 1992 vintage Axminister lathe that I have taken over from my parents. I found the people at Axminister tools most helpful and friendly .. maybe have a look on line or give them a call and tell them of your needs.

I just looked on line there is still a firm that deals with shopsmith
happy turning

Welcome and we look forward to seeing some of your projects.

Shopsmiths are a multi purpose machine - useful, but not especially good at anything. I used one for 20 years, I wasn't too sorry to sell it on.
