I was thinkin of getting myself a small lathe. Mainly for making stuff for static models. I would intend to make stuff out of brass or aluminium.

Anyone got any experience or can offer me advice as to what I should be looking for? or even where to buy in dublin. Would it be worth while doing some sort of night course?
