i am sure I am going to get a good old machine machine I can get. I am not going to spend $3500 and get a junk lathe. I going to be patient learn take a few classes read a few more book s take the advice of others and get the right tooling the first time. also the size of the lathe is not a real concern we have a big heated truck garage. I have learned a ton from everybodys post. I just can't wait until fall to take my class at the vocational school. I am going to try my local gunsmiths and see if I can get them to show me a few things. I haven't asked them much because its how they make their living, and me it just a expensive hoppy.
