    Default A new toy in the shed :)

    Hey all,
    It's not all bells and whistles but it's upgrading from a Nova TL1200 so for me its an awesome step up. To say I'm happy with it would be an understatement. Now I just need my new chuck inserts to turn up and I can start really having fun. It's going to necessitate a change of layout but I have an idea in my head that needs a little tweaking.

    I couldn't wait for the inserts to show up so I screwed a bit of camphor on a faceplate just for fun. That's my news for the weekend

    Sorry NZ... the TL1200 just drove off with its new owner less than 5 minutes ago.

    The new Nova is the one which sold on Ebay last week, the recent TL1200 on Ebay wasn't mine. A neighbour heard I had picked up a new lathe and asked what I was doing with the old one. He's the one who just picked it up.

    I think the outrigger setup is going to be my next purchase as the swing on this is the same as the old TL1200 and I want to go bigger

    They are a great lathe. I bought the outrigger for turning large platters and soon a small shaker design table top that I have wanted to build for years.

    I hadn't planned on purchasing this one and only bid because no one else had. When I won the auction I paid a lot less than I thought it would go for... never say never

    The old TL1200 is still owned by a forum member but will allow them to identify themselves if they choose to do so

    Corbs welcome to the Nova club. Nice to see the Woodfast in the shot also.

    Love my outrigger not that I have turned much big stuff but have given it whirl, just being able to turn the headstock and do inside owls for me is a winner.

    I wonder if Trend might still have an old stock outrigger coming up in there sale in a few weeks.

    I had been thinking of buying a lathe and trying my hand at turning for some time, however I was waiting till I had the new shed finished and sorted. When Corbs told me he had just bought a new lathe I thought his old TL 12000 would be a good starting point so I bought it. Now all I have to do is get some chisels and sort out a bench and I am good to go.
