Hi I have finally started using my wood lathe I cant believe how much wood shavings and dust it generates what do you guys use for extraction whilst turning.
This hobby is starting to get very expensive I dont see how I am going to make any money out of pens. So far £250 worth of gouges/chisels just to get me started.
That does not take in to account the cost for the lathe and chucks and tuition and sharpening system oh my how expensive are sharpening systems. The Club I go to have a Robert Sorby pro sharpening jobby but you are only allowed to sharpen the Clubs Gouges and Chisels on it.
Having said that every Club lathe there are nine of them has a full set of tools to use with the lathe..
On the plus side I have snowmen I have mushrooms and toad stools and Gonks I have Chrismas trees all in wood of course. Just need to find out were to sell them I gues I need to start looking at craft fairs or Etsy.
Need to sell some thing soon because this is draining my bank Ballance.
