8 forum posts	Just starting out in this hobby and trying to find out everything I can regards lathes, how to use them properly and what I can make with them. I was going to start a few years ago but something always got in the road now that I have retired I have the time but not necessarily the money. I Just found this site recently and what a joy it is. Just have to choose a lathe first, I like the look of the boxfords and raglans rather than the new Chinese lathes I know I will pick up enough tips here to help me choose
