That little slab of Euc Concretus is between 760 - 860 approx by 50mm thick. I was turning it at about 200-300 rpm today and it was fluttering at >20mm thick. It's off the lathe now for sanding, as I find it safer to move around the piece on a table than have it rotate, even at 50rpm. Smiife, you can turn these Ray, it has some blue paint from connecting with the external tool rest, after it decided to unwind due to momentum being greater than the time allowed by the computer chip. Not one of the more pleasant experiences, but an experience all the same. I'll post some pics when I have finished it. MBGitW likes gloss, I prefer the satin finish of oil . . .

Nothing wrong with that view, Brett. Mine may look similar on only a few days of the year.
Have you put a window in your extension?Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

This is what I have to look at from the lathe.

Don't know why there is two photos there, but that is my house in the background. No neighbors in site.

Wet day not much/can't do outside and I had been thinking to do an update of my "View from my lathe"
Seven years later, after our 10 year drought had finished. As all over the place we are enjoying seeing what water can add to our lives helping things grow.
Our creek behind us, has had a big flow for months now. (In 40 years we have never seen so much water being carried away down stream) The channel is about 6-7 metres wide and about knee deep. I thought the thread should be updated so you can all see. The wood lathe is against the window at the end of the shed and its about 4.5 metres from shed floor level and creek level. At the left on the bank out of the picture is a very large and very old Apple Gum which is holding the bank together so the shed won't end up in the creek.
When we moved here in 1981 the creek was a string of bath sized water holes 75mm deep and you could see just see movement as it ran down hill. On old maps it had the creek name then written in brackets "Permanent Water" Then the drought came and shrunk the creek back to a dry gully for years. In the middle of last week we had about 55mm of rain one night and the creek rose to about8-900mm deep and right across for a couple of days. By that you can tell the ground is full and any new rain just runs offJust do it!
Kind regards Rod

That’s nice to be close to running water like that . Do you see many snakes though ? I’d be guessing you would in the warmer months . How big and what type if you do see them ?

After reading "Boringoldgeoffe Post I thought I would bring mine "up to date". I went through my Post to riminess. 2015 was the first thread. The creek shrunk back to about 450mm wide with about 50mm deep. Friday we had 23 mm over night and it swelled the creek to 600mm deep and 2000mm wide. It shows that the rain will run off due to the moisture in the ground
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod
