I looked into doing similar stuff. I really like the Jet mini lathe. I think it will do up to 18" IIRC. Mini tools cost nearly what full size does.

before buying China made from some retail outlet check with your regional woodworking machinery distributor .... many of the professional machinery manufacturers also have a line of equipment for the smaller shops .... worlds above the Jet & Grizzly .... the distributor should also have a selection of used - shops grow and the smaller stuff needs to be moved out ...
God must have made us out of the same batch of cookie dough. I have the same talent to see a picture then in my head recreate it and then make it out of wood with no plans..Originally Posted by robsdak

I love woodworking. I have a scrollsaw, tried my hand at chiseling and when BWRR and I got married I came with all of my own power tools. I took plain flat cabinet doors, added several types of mouldings, did a 7 layer paint technique and ended up with a French Provential look. I made my dad a Victorian corner shelf with my scrollsaw out of red oak...holy crap, talk about a hard wood! I would do more stuff if I still had my workshop set up but next place one will be organized. My grandfather and father were both master carpenters - as a hobby.
I apologize for nothing...
lets see some pics LH...
