Now THAT requires a degree of Finesse' that I doubt I could muster! Fine Job, Dennis!!
You know, Dennis, you are a real master of the lathe and it would be nice to be close enough to visit and gather some tips. I just (last January) bought an old 1950's Craftsman lathe from the original owner....he had put a new motor on it about a year ago but decided to get a new lathe.... the old Craftsman is just right for me...and the price, $100., fits too. I haven't used a lathe since junior high shop class where Mr Leigh turned me loose on one and I obsessed on it for an entire semester
Then, much later, when I built and started my woodworking shop...I was reluctant to set up a lathe because I knew I might obsess again...and I really wanted to master and make some flat work. I'm to the point now where I believe I can use one responsibly....but there is a lot I need to learn...and I'm chipping away...but it would be nice to have someone to watch & ask.
Thank you for posting! Hope all is well at your house! Have a peaceful Memorial Day weekend!
