LPCullen Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Nope, I don't. But I'm not a tool person. However, if you find out, let me know because I'd love to get one for Jimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hey Johnny, Love your pic But I have to correct something here - men don't have "excuses" to buy tools - we have Reasons to buy tools heheh .. of course sometimes I don't get around to using them right away -like my mini lathe.. actually I'm not even sure all the parts are there - that's what I get for buying it at a flea market. If you have a Harbor Frieght near you they carry a mini lathe. I think it runs around $50 but I'm not sure how large of stock it will handle - it's pretty small but it looks to be just about the right size to do dollhouse miniatures - though I have to say I'm guessing since I don't know how to use one. Also I'm pretty sure Micro Mark carries one but they tend to be a bit more pricey. I've looked at them on Ebay too but those are way more than I want to spend not being much of a tool officinado. Wish I could help more but those are the places I know of to look at least - maybe you can get more out of reading descriptions that I can - I'm not as tool savvy as I wish I was. -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggi Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Here is a place where I've ordered mini bench saw and sander from the internet. They also have lathes. They've been real nice to work with. http://minicrafttools.com/saws.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have the one from Harbor Freight but I havent had a chance to use it yet. Hmmm, maybe I should get it out and try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
