Hello everyone, i am now the proud owner of an mc900 with nova2 chuck. After putting together the mechano stand and bolting on the lathe i set about creating wood shavings form some scrap pieces of Jacaranda.
The first attempt was like falling off a bike, painful and ugly. So i donated it to the pile of shavings.
Once i realised what i had done wrong (it has been nearly 10 years since i last picked up a chisel) i tried again.... PRESTO... something that resmbles something. It's about the diameter of a lawn bowls bowl.
I hope the pics come through ok. i am reasonably happy with my first attampt, everyone has to start somewhere!
..... now what do i finish it with.... PAINT!!!!????
Cheers Haemish
