Dont mis-quote me.. or 'mince' my words.
As a matter of fact.. you said (more or less) the same thing as I did. (do not be deterred/discouraged)
I never said anything about 'jumping in'... or anything remotely about not being safe.
I own a lathe/mill.. and have taken 'classes; at the local maker space..
watched TONS of MIT training videos and other videos to grasp concepts and procedures.. read books on certain techniques... yadda yadda
* and have had many a gut check or knuckle smacks to understand safety is important. I would never suggest otherwise
My comment was more so aimed at the 'saber smith' comment. (where as 'some' can have a lathe without issues/judgement.. and others are judged by wanting one)
why anyone would care WHY he wants to buy a hobby lathe (outside of being trained/safe or posting here for 'work') I dont understand. Definitely not a threat to here. and shouldnt be a threat to any members 'who take on commissions' on the side either.. (especially with the type of questions being asked.. and the idea of using a wood lathe or a drill as the base!) which seemed a little off point of being helpful for his safety and guidance.
So with 'all due respect' (you are just wrong about what you 'think' I said)
(I dont want anyone to die!)
