Anyone with a lathe?
I have a wonderful Powermatic lathe at home. The only problem with it is that at ~600lbs (plus another 300lbs ballast I've added) it's a little heavy to take along in the RV. I'm looking at smalle...

My Dad had one with a short bed that was capable of turning a salad bowl or legs for a child's stool. But it was made out of cast iron and took two men and a boy to move it. And it was belt driven by a separate motor. Hardly portable.
Powermatic makes one, but it costs $4,000, weighs nearly 600 lbs. and needs a 220 circuit.
Here's one for $60, but it requires an electric drill for power and probably wouldn't turn anything but toothpicks (but classy ones).
If your interested, Sun N' Fun in Sarasota, FL. Exit 210 off I-75 and go east. They have all kinds of hobbies available, including wood shops. It ain't cheap.
