Mr Pete the shop teacher has some great vids. He likes the old school south bend lathe. Someone on this board had a lathe for sale. It had been crashed and needed some work. I was considering it but were getting ready to move from Tulsa to OKC.

Blondihacks is awesome. She just nerds out in the best way possible. And there is another guy who is halarious but I can’t remember his name
That’s the guy! And they’re both super informative.Are you thinking of This Old Tony? He hasn’t been posting much lately.
He's the one that I watched when looking into the mini-lathes. Then I fell in the rabbit hole and watched his other videos. Damn squirrels! Lol.That’s the guy! And they’re both super informative.
I would like to lathe as my new hobby. I tried a POS harbor freight lathe and the damn thing isn’t centered at all. I’m looking for anything better than that, the more tooling the better, want to learn threading and possibly have enough chuck to mess around with cutting/threading some spare AR barrels I have laying around.
I don’t want to pay eBay prices but don’t expect anything for free either.
Thanks for looking
