I have been looking for a hobby of some sort as a "release" and to just get rid of everyday stress. I am currently a cabinet shop supervisor, married, and father of 3 kids that keep me busy. Recently in reading and internet exploring I have seen many things about turning. This has caught my eye as something that would be interesting. Turning small items such as pens seems right up what I have been looking for. I have never done any turning in my life so that would be new to me. Currently I have very limited space to work in so I need something that would be easy to move around. Also, I have a limited budget so that is something to consider. Like I said, I know nothing about turning but would like to learn. Is this something that would take years to do or can it be picked up fairly easy? I would have to get the tools to do it all so I really don't know where to start. I found this small lathe in a catalog I recieved....

but don't know how great it would be. I figured my best bet would be to come here and ask the experts their point of view on the matter. Any suggetions, ideas, comments, that you have would be greatly appreciated. If I am totally nuts with this idea please let me know. thanks for looking.
