Know a lot of guys have mini's, but if you can find a good used one I would opt for a full sized lathe in case you ever want to expand what you are doing. I turn quite a few bowls and really appreciate having an old, heavy Delta with a 3/4 HP motor...... The 1/2 HP that was on it kept tripping out when I was sanding....
