Made out of recycled oak (old bedposts)
Nice for filling of some time in a wintry cold shop (4C), with the help of a fan heater, and a thick sweater.
I'm not complaining, it's the time of the year.
Axis sizes 160x125 mm total height 65 mm.
Finished as usual with acrylic lacquer.
Thanks for looking.

Up to your normal standard Ad :D They are lovely and it has always fascinated me just how you built such a machine!
What sort of speed can you use with it???
If I remember correctly (that would make a change :B ) you did a WIP on your oval jig? If so, is there any chance of you posting it again please?

John, if you like it, I have design and detail drawings of this device if you are interested. If so, send me a PM, as I miss your e-mail address.
The running speed of this device is up to 500 rpm.
Thank you John
