No longer available, shipped out today to a new home.

Thanks! Here’s a candy dish and pens I was commissioned to make for a local college’s admissions office, from part of a log from an old large walnut tree they took down in October for an office addition.

Thanks. I’ve talked to some wood turners who have been turning for 40 or 50 years. When they look at stuff I’m making now, they just assume I’ve been turning for my whole life too. But I just started this hobby 18 months ago.

It’s expensive to get into, and I only started this 18 months ago as a hobby, but I’m getting enough requests now for items I make on my wood lathe that my hobby is finally paying for itself, and then some.

Still available.

I’m not sure now, but I did know it when I took it off. I’ll measure it. I do have an interested party.

Yes, see my PM.

I’ll keep this offer up for a local meet up for several days. If no takers locally I’m willing to ship it to someone if they’ll reimburse me for the actual shipping costs.

Hi folks, I have a Rambo hunting e-bike I converted to use on the road two years ago by changing the gearing. I also upgraded it from the original BBS02 750 watt motor to a BBSHD 1000 watt motor with the Luna tune. The original motor was barely used and has been sitting on my workbench since I...

Please forgive my ignorance but what constitutes the “Great Loop”?

I just upgraded to a (used) Nova DVR XP, a major upgrade over my midi Rikon: I did my first bowl from a piece of a big hackberry tree my brother cut down last fall: A friend asked recently if I could make them a honey dipper. I went one further and found a glass jar with a glass lid and rubber...

5 1/2” wide, 7 1/2” tall cherry kitchen utensil canister, Bradford pear utensils, turned on my wood lathe:

A friend needed a “visual aid” for his high school senior presentation on the Battle of Antietam and asked me if we could make a civil war cannon on my lathe. And my antique pedal powered lathe, finally turning a piece of wood:

Amen. My direct ancestors made Pennsylvania black powder long rifles by hand, from 1810 to 1865. Even though I went into medicine, I’d like to think I picked up even a tiny fraction of their skill. Three of the five in my family:

He did a fascinating show on the same brand and model of lathe I just picked up: https://www.pbs.org/video/woodwrights-shop-screw-cuttin-lathe/

THAT’S a lathe! I’m just working on a midi Rikon 70-1217vs. I’ve always been fascinated by foot powered lathes which were used prior to electricity. I just picked up a Barnes 4 1/2 velocipede lathe on Tuesday that is operated by food pedals, not a treadle, which ironically kinda goes with the...

I’ve taken up wood turning on a wood lathe. I just started in October. I’m making stuff that hopefully will actually get used. This photo is a traditional dry goods kitchen scoop on the left, and one I created by a two axis turning on the lathe on the right. I like the ergonomics of the higher...

Is a gravel or commuter version on the near horizon? Detuned, of course.

Hopefully!
