I think you folks should come north and defrost, all that cold weather is causing too much mental confusion.

Sometimes it's just cool to sit back and watch the antics .
The truth is is right (dontcha hate havin' to admit it though!!!). Using a Stubby is the same as any other lathe until you start working on big stuff when the swivel bed comes into it's own - and the auxillary bed is a handy-dandy little item too

My advice. (Stubby owner)
Get sleep whenever you can...
On the way to work, on the way home, on the dunny, in the shower, during tv commercials, etc etc
because once you get started on the stubby its hard to stop.
One word of warning. You'll end up spending less time on the forums because you'll be turning more. e.g. Its 11:25 pm and I'm just looking at the forums now.Regards,
G.O.Varvey

Maybe you should have a supply of lithium available for your members that use the lathe, they will fall in love with using the Stubby and some form of medication might be needed to get them off the lathe.

Start on the apprenticeship principle Jeff: new users have to show they can remove, oil and replace the main bed without giving themselves a hernia. In second year, remove and replace the tailstock one-handed. In third year, mount a 75cm diameter blank on their own.
Cheers, Ern

Hi Jeff
Did you get a manual with yours I got nothing with mine, as it was destined for the USA it came in pieces in a big box,had fun putting together and ten years enjoyment out of it so far. Love the axcillery bed I use it at right angles to headstock with second banjo Does vicmarc have a second one? good for turning backs of large bowls and platters also keeps you away from edges of natural edge pieces. The latest piece was a coolibah burl over 40 kgs 600 diam and 160 deep bowl which I will make into coffee table with the addition of glass top and wraught iron legs/feet will post photos when finished.
Cheers TonyTony
