What happened?

Actually that was a dirty great chip coming off the job.

We've all had a good laugh at 's expense since I posted the lime tapse video of him turning that big table base. The truth is, that when turning large pieces like this you have to use more lower body than upper body to remove material quickly, it's called the "turners tango".

Couldn't resist

Hip sync ... love it

I finally finished it today.

That looks good.

The tail stock just looks too small to make a difference in those pictures

So how big is it? And what does is the actual table going to be?

looks good

what finish is going on it?

,

That looks wonderful.

What lathe? The tail stock looks like one from a metal turning lathe on a raising block. It this one of your manufacture?

You have shown some of your lathes over time. I would like to see a set of photos of all of them in one post with swing, between centers, horse power, and how they came to be, etc.

Ok so I've started from the beginning. Is this the base?

Those of you that wanted to come over while I was turning it, well be here on Tuesday morning before 9.00am 'cause that is T (turning) or D (Disaster) Day.

That could be worth the drive.

That's some serious segmenting.

Sorry for all the posts, just worked my way through as I read it all.

Looks great. Dancing skills coming in useful again.

Looks like you are almost ready to make a pen
having finished your apprenticeship on this item.

Well done!
