Any good lathe/turning web sites? Books?

Oct 05, 2003 3 Replies

Anyone know what happened to latheturner.com? I found it in the FAQ and it's down or done or something :(( I ran metal lathes in the 80's but never wood. I traded a few hours work for an old Craftsman lathe + some cutting tools and tried turning a bowl. hehe, not like metal is it? I want to make bowls and boxes and other stuff for presents.



Where can I find Web resources for everything about lathes?


Thanks in advance for any useful info,

There's a newsgroup named something like rec.crafts.woodturning

I have a few turning books. One is by Conover that is good. You'll need a good book about sharpening too (a good author is "Lee")..
