how many lathes
3 going on 4 . A turner ? all the time ,many a time ,even when i haven't got time . But most of the time . The real question is how many turning chisels do you have and which ones do you use the most and which the least .
ILL count up mine tomorrow and scare my self.
insanity is a state of mind if you don't mind it does not matter.

I'd like to have one but have resisted because.
- no room in the shed
- if I got one I'd do nothing else except fiddle with it for the next 3 years
- SWMBO is already asking too many questions about my tool purchases
Cheers

Don't think you realised this, but we're talking about Wood Lathes here Originally Posted by DSEL74

Oh... I only have one of those - all the rest are made of metal. Originally Posted by DJ's Timber

But I reckon that's still probably one more than most people here. 
As for chisels... that varies. Are we talking handled or unhandled here? And even that varies quite a bit in my shed, depending on how many concrete nails have fallen out of my broomstick offcuts.

I have 2 a bigun & littleun. I see the term "turner" wasn't defined so I can claim to be one as I have occasionally turned a valuable timber resource into material for the mulch pile.
