    Default Some pictures of my homemade RE.

    Here are some photos of my rose engine lathe. They show how the headstock moves on a lineal bearing for pumping action and the corian rosettes I made with the help of some plastic kitchen ware I found at the recycling depot (indexing devices).They also show The aluminium disk with bearings I use for patterns made with rocking action. There is also a picture of some of the work I've done with it so far.

    welcome to the forum and to Ornamental Turning

    You machine is certainly different and very ideal of use of what ever can constitute indexing

    Look forward to seeing more of your machine and work.

    I like your lathe and especially your "variable rosette".
