    Default Finally!

    It's only been about a year and a half since I've had the beast set up and the tools unpacked. Just moved to a new house and was determined to get some meaningfull shed time in. Other than a few small spindles for Rocker it's been silent and rusting:eek: that whole time. Was able to whip off a couple rough bowl blanks from some red gum I scrounged from a friend. The engine hoist in the back ground was bought and brought over just for lifting the lathe. With the extension I made the thing must wiegh 1100lbs.

    G'day Matt,
    Good to see that you've finally let the Oneway see the light of day in Oz. The paint'll probably fade you know!:confused)
    I don't know if there are any more of them up here.
    I have compiled a short list of four lathes that I reckon to be the best top level wood lathes, the Oneway & Vicmark lathes for spindle turning & faceplate work, & the Stubby and English VB lathes for large / huge (?) bowl - faceplate turning. Of course, when I win Xlotto, I'll have one of each in my snazzy new workshop. ( There's no tax on dreaming yet - is there? )

    Well done Matt.
    Barry.

         Rather exxy by the time it lands up here in Oz, but still one of the best around if you're fair dinkum about your woodturning.
    Regards,
    Barry. - Oneway Lathe aspirant.

    Think if I tried she'd shake it off like your Husky would with a few drops of rain ;-}

    (Just tried to bolt her down. Uneven concrete floor, 1 cm thick bottom plate = masonery anchor cracked the concrete on one corner despite being an inch in. Next step 3" in.)
    Cheers, Ern

    With the engine hoist in the back it's the easiest thing I have to load and unload. The extension is removable which help a great deal.
