[QUOTE="blackbrush, post: 343826, member: 11280"] Mike, Another possible way to view this is to look at your simple goal at this time. Do you want to just cut a few threads on a couple of barrels or do you just want to learn something new? I get your point about being from Texas and no one to talk to or learn from. There are some awesome DVDs out there though… One teeny-weeny little bitty consideration you may wish to keep in your back pocket; when you purchase a lathe and get started, you will be a McMaster or MSC junkie. You will be watching sales and free shipping for the next several thousand dollars. Load up on this stuff and when you decide to make your purchase of another lathe, then you get to staring at the bucks in tools you don’t know if they will be useful or simply fit your mini-jobbie. It is like purchasing a long-range rifle; do you want to go the factory rifle route and have it slicked up or do you want to start with a custom long-range rifle? Whichever way you go you will learn tons…that is what counts! Happy New Year! [/QUOTE]
