Hello,
Recently I have become interested in woodturning and pen turning.
I came from Portugal and yet I haven't found any lathe in my local shops.
Since I'm still a student (not woodworker) I would love to find a good, small and cheap lathe. I don't mind if I buy outside of Portugal.. I'm just looking for a good quality/price (cheaper) to start into this hobby.
I love to work with wood and I make alot of aquarium stands. I will even build my fishroom for 100 aquariums with only wood stands.
I have found some that are more or less the price range that I've been looking (around 100€) in Amazon, but I don't know if they are good for pen and knob turning.
It can not be big since it's for my house and not a shop. It will be only (for now) to turn wood and resin blanks for pen and door knobs.
Best regards and thank you for help,
Rodrigo Guimarães
