    I really live in Richmond, a small town 30 miles from Houston - but who has heard of that? I have been doing woodwork since junior high school - during this same period Paul McCartney had a band called 'Wings'. I am a nurse, have worked in computers for several years, ride (And work on) bicycles and motorcycles. I have done a little turning and would like to do more - I have an AMT lathe I got for Christmas several years ago that looks like a copy of a Jet - but all the quick releases are broken. If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix that let me know - I am not sure its worth doing as some of the lathes I am looking at (Like the Nova) are much better made but are over $1,000, so maybe it is... Am working on redoing some old speakers - have finished the cabinet repair and am working on redoing the crossovers. So, like most of you - I have varied interests and do different things! I also need to know the best way to clean up an old level - I have found the old tools to be of higher quality often times than new ones, and have a Stanley No. 30 I would like to make look better - it works fine, just dirty looking with the black Japaning? around the bubbles worn a good bit.

    Welcome to the forum. I might suggest asking the wood turning question in this sub-forum.
