    I've done woodturning for 2 years, and I'm looking to buy my own lathe. I'm only 17, so as you can imagine I don't have much money to spend on a lathe, but I also don't want one that will need to be replaced this time next year :/ I'm looking for some help with choosing a first lathe, something good but preferably not higher than €300 as I still need to buy accessories, which brings me on to my next point. I'd like to know what equipment would be necessary to buy with it? The lathe I was thinking of buying is this one from axeminster :)

    I was also wondering if it would be ok to keep the lathe in a corner of the shed I have, it's a big shed so I'd only be using a corner of it for my stuff, but I don't have enough money go spending on a filter as well, so would a mask be alright to wear with it, and I could keep the door open?
    Any help will be much appreciated :D
