good woodturner starter setup

That's not a starter! That's the be-all and end-all! :-) Graham

well you could just keep going once you started with that setup wonder why he is selling

maybe did not like turning afterall

My brain is having trouble with the pen blanks being anywhere near that lathe.

Beautiful machine. If he knocks off two zeros, I might be able to afford the shipping.

Judging by all the equipment, in as-new condition, and vast number of accessories, he is an amateur and compulsive tool and jig buyer. The lathe is an older model of one that would now cost close to CAN$6k. Graham

that is a possibility and seems likely additionally they are probably afraid of it additionally they have a lot of money to throw around

does not look like a divorce sale but might be

did not see that but that is interesting

i have a small lathe and never wanted to do pens

like the other poster noted it seems they like the buying and collecting of tools but not the using part

it reminds me of those stories you hear of pro sports rookies that suddenly come into a lot of money and buy crazy cars and houses and whatever else they could never afford
