i have bin thinking of getting a lathe, however i don't know where to start.
every "hobby" lathe i have seen looks like crap, and i'm not taking about peeling paint or dents, taking about shiny clean perfect looking lathes.(china crap.)
i don't need a 3-story behemoth but i don't want a door stopper ether.
basically, i what to know what to be on the look out for, and what brands are the good ones and which are the bad ones.
Here's a picture by shenion and it's his lathe(some how i don't think i need to say that. )
this is about the size i'm after it can be a little bigger or smaller.
Here is the link to the thread i stole it from.

thank you for all your help.
p.s To shenion send me a PM or post, IF that you wish that i remove the stolen picture and thread link. thanks.
