Hello all from a newbie here in Lincoln

[Ice-Man]

Hi all I am a very new just bought my first mini lathe a JET Jwl-1221vs 12inch by 24inch Variable Speed Woodturning Lathe with two Nova Chucks. but also a jacobs chuck and an extensive set of Robert Sorby tool rests both straight and curved, long and short as well as the original standard tool rests.
Plus a Lumberjack UDE65 65L Chip and Dust Extractor a 1400mm band saw table top, but none of it is set up yet as I have to clear a storage room IE: bedroom living in a terraced house we dont have a big rear garden more a small yard. But I am looking forward to starting so I will be asking lots of questions along the way

Regards

Ian

Hi Ian

Welcome

I have the same lathe, and find it excellent, perfect for pen makling.
A very confident machine, well made and reliable.
Look forward to seeing what you produce with it.

Any problems just ask, there's a lot of experience on this forum, willingly given.

G'Day Ian,

Welcome to the forum from the cooling down centre of Australia.

Thank you all for a very warm welcome, TBH I am looking forward to getting this set up and running. But my work has just gone mental so its going to be a tad slower to get it setup, And it does look like I will enjoy this new hobby and a new rabbit hole for me to go with my other hobby.
