Always buy paintball support items used. Lots get in & get out but not until after they've bought all the toys with dad's money.
Semi OT -
As far as a lathe, I looked at building one too & also looked at the Gingery approach. First you stake a claim, then you mine the bauxite, then you smelt it into raw aluminum.....
In the end, I started checking used machinery prices & discovered that you can find a used South Bend, Atlas, or Monarch with loads of tooling for $600 or so. Just a thought. Believe me, I am all for self-reliance but I'm also for having more time to build end use projects, not the projects needed to complete the end-use ones if that makes sense?
