I started looking at at the 7x14 mini lathe and ended up buying a 9"x19", wished I would bought a bigger lathe with cross feed. My 9x19 does everything I want it too just get tired of cross feeding manually. You will spend more money on tooling than the lathe. Once you have it for a while you will wonder how you got along without one. Go for it.

Continuing work on the landing gear piece. Polished the blackened flux away to expose a few holes in the solder. Much easier to fill in than the actual soldering, different thickness metals are not easy to solder.

Looking at axle options. Tried a Dubro 3/16 axle. It threaded into my 3/8" tubing so tight I had to use a vise. I was worried it would split the tubing. Anyway, close enough for the moment.
