I have’nt found too much of these tools to be cheap. I am supposed to go pick up a Pearless lathe this weekend. I probable gave to much for it, but the guy I am buying it from is a retired machinest. He goes through them, cleans and oils them.
I plan on starting out making all of the things Bob has in the videos. It may take awhile, but I think this will give me a little better feal for the machine. I have run a wood lathe some (self taught), but from watching the videos, I have not been doing that right.
