Some pictures of my homemade RE.

[lacebark]

Here are some photos of my rose engine lathe. They show how the headstock moves on a lineal bearing for pumping action and the corian rosettes I made with the help of some plastic kitchen ware I found at the recycling depot (indexing devices).They also show The aluminium disk with bearings I use for patterns made with rocking action. There is also a picture of some of the work I've done with it so far.:2tsup:

welcome to the forum and to Ornamental Turning

You machine is certainly different and very ideal of use of what ever can constitute indexing :2tsup::2tsup:

Look forward to seeing more of your machine and work.
