Thread: Wood pistons

Fantastic stuff. Love the Da Vinci lathe.

Hi Michael...welcome to the forums

Nice lathes and nice turnings

Wonderful stuff there Miguel!!!!

Do you use native Canary Islands timbers in your work?



AND congratulations on being the CHAMPIONS!!

Great turnings and love the daVinci nd Welcome to the forum But hope the file tools have been annealed also you should get rid of the teeth with respect to your tool rest and then temper the area that you will be using allowing for a few sharpenings Cheers www

Great stuff.

No problem and welcome. Nice work too.

Many years ago, I had a friend who had an old A model Ford and when it broke down, he replaced the piston with one which he turned out of Redgum. It ran for years without problems.
