Rich's Lathe Hobbies

Here is my little Harbor Freight 7 x 10 lathe:


I use this as both a metal-turning and wood-turning lathe.  The bed is a bit short, but for small projects it is convenient and very functional.  It has a variable speed drive which comes in handy for a home craftsman who is not experienced and needs to try different speed settings.  It just fits on my work bench in the garage and has given me hours of enjoyment.
