Wood Lathe question

try craigs list AND. don’t overlook home auctions. I recently got 17 R.Sorby turning chisel, a supra nova chuck, four calipers etc at an estate auction.Ifind that by going several hours before the auction lets you look at your leisure and if theres nothing of intrest saves you from coming back and fighting the crowd. It also gives you time to look up prices on new or strange products and determine how much you are willing to spend on what ever you are looking at.

If I can add another hint to the auction route, during the preview, if you see something you like, and once you have done a bit of price research, leave an absente bid so you don’t need to spend all day there waiting for one or two lots to come up. Just let the organizers know what your max bid will be and they bid on your behalf. Works a charm!

Near where I live there is a good sized used tool shop that sells and buys everything from utility knives to 20 ton hoists and everything using electricity you could think of. I bought an old Craftsman wood lathe with all the parts and mounted on a 42” bench with drawers for $110. I don’t use that one anymore and will probably take it there to sell back.
