Picked up a mini wood lathe at Canadian Tire the other day. Has variable speed control and can handle items up to 12in by 8 in. which should mean a realistic 10 in. by 6 in.

It was on sale for $150 dollars[ half price ? ]. May be broke but couldn't pass it up.

Should fit in well in my huge workshop.

Have made one small mallet from wire birch so far. Turned out well despite 45 years since I've used a lathe.
