Tools
In my workshop you can see and try (and order) almost every woodturning tool from:
Sorby, Crown, Axminster, Brimarc, Hamlet, Kelton Industries and many more. 

Many ask me about their cost. Well here we are:
First you need a lathe. Please see below.
To purchase a set of about 6 basic tools that someone needs to start with, has a cost of about 200 €.
Also you have to order a chuck costing about 170 to 300 €.

                    Lathes
Here we can see some lathe models, just to have an estimation about their cost.
Prices may change depending on Manufacturer prices, shipping cost differences and parity of exchange.
Please add the 23% VAT to all prices in this site.
