Thread: Does size count?

not bad but im not trying to make myself look good but ive turned bigger heavier and the one i turned started out square and i done 16 of them, plus ive done a few other projects similar. The longer ones took me about 3 hours each to turn into a verandah post out of iron bark and the smaller ones ive done the 16 were same diameter and iron bark timber but they were those poles that u see near the water that the boats tie there rope to cant remember what they were called.
I had to use an engine hoist to load and unload them outta the lathe and they were turned between centres not with a chuck although the headstock centre was a bit bigger then your usual.
Ill try and find the pics i have of me turning these things and post em up, i might have to go visit my old boss cause he had some pics of me turning them aswell and i was only about 21 years old when i did em, and i turned into a black man from the hardwood dust.

it sounds interesting, it would be good to see photos of it.

yeah ill try and find the pics tonight and scan em up.
