    I found boree keeps a great edge so imagine it would be strong in a baby rattle. There would be others in here with a lot more experience than I when it comes to timber choice so perhaps they may chime in

    If you have access too tool steel(bloody lucky you).
    And now have a lathe what about a marking knife.
    Or a gents saw handle, I can give you some old hard point saw plate in a few weekends.
    Which you can cut down for the saw plate for a small gents saw.
    Fold up some steel sheet for the back not that hard in a small section 150mm would be heaps long enough.
    And you have your first hand made saw.
    Then sell it to your dad for $150 lol
    What a great Idea. Can't charge him for it though as he's been told that he's not to use the lathe but I'm happy to turn anything for him.
    Plus he came to Melbourne with me to pick it up so I owe him.

    If he being your dad is not allowed to use YOUR lathe.
    Could that possibly set up a situation were he goes out and buys a BETTER lathe.
    Placed next to yours.
    With the firm understanding of a father that you are not to touch said lathe. [emoji2]

    Yes him as in (dad).
    Hahaha he could but he doesn't have the patience or the time to learn to turn. I'll let him on it one day but only when the "new tool" feeling has worn off. Might be awhile though.

    Started a thread on turning Corian pens for those that haven't yet seen it.

    Also pretty excited today as my tailstock drill came today.



    Cheers
    Dirk.

    Looks like a paragraph on my phone.

    Need to buy a pen mandrel and then I can start turning some pen's.

    Haven't had alot of time on the lathe lately due to work being busy and life getting in the way on my weekend's.

    Here is a file handle I turned up before the saw sharpening gtg
