Since we are on the subject.. I have found two lathes on CL that I am considering.. Both Craftsman. Both running 1/2hp. One is 12" he wants $80..Pictures he sent me shows rust and table still covered in saw dust...I guess that means it is in working condition? Not sure what people are thinking when they either, don't post photos (had to request photos from this guy) or when they do, they haven't bothered to clean up what the are trying to sell. The second is a 32" Craftsman.. looks to be well taken care of. He wants $175 or trade.

Just looking for something to get started with, to see if I like it and maybe do some chair legs and the like.
Any comments?
