Near Disaster in Wood Turning - YouTube

[wheelinround]

Not a gouge in sight

I know a few pen turner jump more than that when they have a blow out :;

[Mrs Blackie]

I know right? I watched this a couple months ago on youtube and jumped out of my seat when it had a blow out like that.:o

[vk4]

I'd be changing my underwear, after something like that, I wonder how long it took before he stopped shaking???

[Sawdust Maker]

should've used glue on the laminations

[ticklingmedusa]

holy mackerel!
wardrobe malfunction:oo:

[I_wanna_Shed]

Criiiiiiikey! I jumped more than that guy did! Looks like he just got a bruised hand. Sure is lucky!

A definite skid mark moment, scared the poop outa me.

I've put a dint in the roof when I forgot to change the belt. I remember laying on the floor in the foetal position for a while.

[Christos]

The question I have is why did it do that?

[Ozkaban]

Holy Heck! a genuine butt-clenching moment there.

I imagine he would be somewhat glad they didn't have the control box positioned half way down the lathe....

[Scott]

The question I have is why did it do that?

I don't think I gave the holt melt glue long enough to set properly.

[cookie48]

Holy snappin poo poo batman. That is one hell of a dirty pants moment there robin. Glad I wear my jocks on the outside.

[wheelinround]

The question I have is why did it do that?

Christos could have been bad glue up or over tightening between centres which puts force along the shaft. Looking at the video my guess both

[Ed Reiss]

Dammit, Joey...I told you to use wood glue, not your daughter's crafts glue!!!!!

[tea lady]

So THAT'S why you stand aside when you first turn on the lathe! :doh:

[Bernt]

I wonder if that is a technique that could be used for splitting fence posts?
