+1 for quality SW paint. It’s expensive but certainly worth the difference. -
We are in SoCal for a family wedding. We were taking a day trip back to the area where we lived in CA, and our rental car broke down in the middle of the highway. All was fine, then it beeped and said to pull over - vehicle will shut down soon. By the time we checked the mirrors to see if we could get over (was 2nd from left on 4 lane road), it shut off and we had no drive. It was rush hour and we were on an incline so we couldn’t coast to the shoulder. So we had to sit in the traveling lane until the CHP came and pushed us about 1/4mi until there was a good shoulder. CHP and tow truck took us to an exit with fast food, then we waited for an uber to pick us up and take us to an airport to get a new rental car. Exciting day.

I would add that your budget and expectations come into play. I had a Delta entry level lathe (full size) for many years and turned hundreds of pens and a couple of bowls on it. I think it was like $1,200 when I bought it but as stated above for 1/3 of that you can get a machine that will turn pens. Last year I purchased a Nova Nebula about $3,300 after discounts and absolutely love it. It will be my forever lathe and I spent the money knowing that. @Mark J above, our resident turning expert, was instrumental in helping me make the right choice and I couldn't be happier with the Nebula. -
Correct its a tapered tenon cutter (6 degree) 5/8" to 15/16"

The first time I ever saw over a hundred bucks a gallon for house paint was when I decided to try their Emerald Rain Refresh. With some of it up for over a year now I can say compared to anything else it's well worth its price. I always buy some paint when they have 40% off if I know I'm going to need it in a few months. I get some sort of contractors price discount anyway. Depending on who is running the place when I go, sometimes they add the discount on top of my pro price and sometimes they don't. They have 30% off a lot more often than 40%. I don't buy anything but SW best at the time. I have never been disappointed with it. Any time I have ever used anything else I have been disappointed some sort of way and wished that I hadn't tried to save that money.
