I already harvest my own wood and down the line would be keen to purchase a bowl saver. Do theybwork on all lathes? Although at present will have to do without. If anyone has more suggestions I'm all ears!

Will keep my eyes out for one 2nd hand potentially.

I'm concious of my (lack of) skills when it comes to building a bench sturdy enough for that. Although I may not rule it out. Will keep my eyes out for one 2nd hand potentially.

I see all the selections available and really have no idea with regards to sizing. I don't live near any suppliers so its difficult to get 'hands on' with tools without buying them online, so I want to be sure.
Thanks in advance.
