Re: [SPAM] Homier Mini Lathe questions
Homier arrived today, and as expected, no Live Center. Other than the tools and gears, the only accessories that come with it are a 3 jaw chuck and a tailstock dead center. Ed

Re: Woodworking with the mini-lathe
Vikki, congrats - I didn't say anything earlier, but i thought to myself that with those tools it would be a miracle if you can do anything. Just wait till you get your hands on a true HSS gouge.
