Thread: A new lathe or three.

Tony seems the photos didn't load of the WiP pulling the bearing out.

I like your table is that solid plate??

Paint well you have 3 to do lighter colours allow better sight of work I believe.

F1 Red you already have a car that colour ...........or BRG, bright yellow or how about same as a Violet Crumble packet.

The last one to get the kids interested in turning

I like the third one Nick. I think we should paint 's truck like that. He's a big hippy at heart.

You have to have a "Barbie" pink one for your daughter.

I have considered and sumarily rejected the notion of a pink lathe. My daughter will choose pink 100% of the time, despite our encouragement towards any other colour, and I really don't need anything else pink

Tony, what's wrong with gunmetal grey?

That's probably what they will all end up being Pat. I'd have to buy all those different colours and there is a limit to how much I can spend
Still like the idea of a bit of pinstriping though. And some scroll work.

Everything purple is mine of course. :P:

Blue's good 'cos blue was what I had .

The previous picture of a Tough lathe (very similar to the Woodfast) belongs to my son, but I do have a cheapie from Carbatec, which was a cast off from my son. It spent many years out in the weather and I have just refurbished it. I had planned to put up a thread, but have not done it yet.

Guess what? I had some blue paint left over .

That;s not blue. That's BLUE (Bum I want bigger writing. )
