Kyle gets the mini lathe home and then what???


I got a new mini-lathe? Cool!! Um, where did I put it? Anyone seen a
mini-lathe around here?

Actually, I wish I already had one. I need to fabricate a prop balancing
rig and a mini-lathe would be the ideal tool to make the little fittings I
need.

Fortunately, I have buddies who DO have lathes, so all I need to do is
sketch out what I need and I can probably get the part made in a day or
so...

it was hypothetical.
just preparing you for that initial little log jamb that some never
get over.
seriously though I wouldnt recommend anything smaller than a South
Bend, although there is a lot of good work done on Myfords they have
a swing limitation on larger work.
