Thread: Hey Block Head

Hi,
I could not remember the right name for them although your heading should have jogged even my three quarters of a century old brain.
At those prices I can see a lot of pen lathes getting upgraded.
Regards

Hi Wheelin, I've just in the process of making 3 for the Geelong Agri. Show, Vic. but I've had to put them on bases all on different heights. Yes, I just laminated all pieces of pine, the thickest I could find. Very interesting work.

Much easier than pens I think no need to buy kits for starters, no special tools, No need for special finishes.

Ya dinna read the fine print laddie.


Guess who dropped it while parting it off thought it still had plenty meat good job I used the hand saw for final cut no lathe in motion, one small dent so out came the hot water and a quick dab and its almost gone.


Sanded the base and allowing sanding sealer a few days drying prior finish applications.

Yes, Wheelin, mine is also a love job, but somebody has to do these things. I may get something, but I'm not betting on it.

I thought dual purpose for sure - under the bed, eh. Drillit.
