My husband David is looking for small bench lathe, preferable an engineering one but a woodworking one also considered. Second hand or new.
He is designing and hoping to make fun automatons.
He also will be looking for smallish good quality pieces of wood, plywood. Somebody suggested to find a sign writer or cabinet makers, as they may have useful offcuts. We haven't explored Famagusta yet as we have not lived here very long. Are willing to check out Girne or nearby. We don't drive, but hopefully will find a way to get around.
Here an example of something he made long ago called 'Stonehenge Astronomy') . It was part of an exhibition we held at the very successful Wylye Arts Trail in Wiltshire in 2009 (item sold!!)

In my opinon as a Qualified Engineer, this is a better option, and share a container to bring over. OR https://www.facebook.com/AngelWingsTransfer
