Good morning, Steve Williams here, I live in North Essex and have been in and around engineering all my life. I started at School when they still had metalwork classes and allowed the use of lathes. Spent 23 years in the Royal Engineers in the Army where I trained as a Blacksmith. I now run a small tree business and repair shotguns and rifles under the watchful eye of a good friend who is ex Purdey. I also make knives and am looking for a lathe to compliment my workshop.

Kind regards

Steve

Welcome Steve; you need to figure out what your budget is plus another 25% on top for basic tooling & equipment, & what do you want to make with it … to determine the size.

Welcome, Steve

[it's a bit late to wish you Good Morning]

Sounds like you have the background, and friends, to give us some good advice.
