I know that this subject has come up loads of times, but I couldn't find a thread that fitted properly?
I'm talking about anyone getting their first lathe and what size to get? The argument went along the lines that you can do small work on a big lathe, but not big on a small one.
I just wanted to show the ability of doing that small work. My lathe isn't that big, a Record CL1 with 36" between centres possible.
There's more detail of the little candle stick on the thread "New challenge" if you want to look..
