Wood turning

Post by mite5255 »

Welllll, I needed a new hobby, so I went and brought a wood lathe, I've also joined a woodcrafters club that also teaches wood turning https://www.caboolturewoodcrafters.com/ thus far I've had three lessons and I'm really enjoying myself, just a few photos of what I have done over the last few weeks, there are a few nicks and scratches on all items, but I should get much better with more practice. the rolling pin is on my lathe at home

Pretty cool, I had a wood lathe once and gave it to my brother-in-law.

Awesome Mate! I've mostly just turned drums on my lathes... The big one is still waiting for me to build a rotary phase converter. Have the motor, just need to build the box...

Unfortunately it was poor timing. He go divorced shortly after that and I just stayed out of the mess.

What other lathes do you have Latz? I just remember the huge one.

I have a Delta MIDI lathe that I had the maintenance guy at work make a spacer to give me 16" swing and another that has a 12" swing. I bought the 2 smaller ones from my wife's step mom when her dad died...
