[Ed Reiss]

thought he was making 500lb bunker buster bombs :doh::D

Technically interesting.

I love the handling system, brilliant.:2tsup:

Don't like the shapes.:no:

That amount of work deserves a nicer finished form.

[Grumpy John]

:iagree:

[orraloon]

Interesting!
Notice it is a regular size lathe and was surprised at the machine putting up with something that weight. For a second or two I was thinking only a few sheets of mdf and I can have a setup like that. Then visions of that flying around the workshop brought me back to normal. I do like his two stroke roughing gouge.

I suspect there was a fair bit of ballast hiding behind all that plywood surrounding the lathe.

Yeah , I reckon.
A ton or two of sand and a few tie-down bolts is all it needs eh ....
and well constructed boxes :p

I figure that the main trick there is to line up the centers perfectly , so as not to strain the bearings

I was on the phone talking to my cousin and watching it with the sound off. When he pulled out the chainsaw I almost yelled into the phone!

[Ad de Crom]

Holy cow, what a guy.
Never saw such a performance.
Like the idea, but the inside is not what I like to see.

Needs a bit of a touch up with some sandpaper?

[Sawdust Maker]

Yep

No worries! It'll handle it. Just shove the handle in a bit of 2" pipe and a way you go :U

[Texian]

Don't need no stinkin' carbide roughing tool!

[Manuka Jock]

Don't need no stinkin' carbide roughing tool! true , thats' what 4 ft chainsaw bars are for :D

[AUSSIE]

I noticed that no one was helping or even in sight.Could it be they were not game to hang around or have they all been killed with flying potplant holders.
By the way I like the outside as well as the inside,all nice and neat.Not the old boring turning.It is something with a bit of flair>You make something to a formula that everyone else does and it is only worth the same as what everyone else gets for theirs.
Not sure how long this guy will last,It wouldnt take too many hits with one of these to finish you off.
PS
A mate just suggested that we not tell Carl (Weisyboy') about this.He would be into it only bigger.Chain saw roaring and the lathe going even faster.Oh No!!:fingerscrossed::omg:
