    I really hope that the lathe is dyna bolted to the floor.

    Looks fantastic, scary, but great.

    I'd hate to be the one sharpening the tools after that effort. Decent sized blanks would be a bit few and far between too

    From the taper on that log, I would've thought the headstock end would've been more lobed/out-of-balance than the tailstock...?

    Looks odd to me to see them starting from the "easy" end!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    The head stock end is getting carved by the sculptor who commissioned it! So we only get the "easy" end to do!

    Quite so.

    I would love to have got rid of it but we have to do as we are told sometimes.

    To the Forum members that were here on Saturday.

    The log finally kicked over without an initial start at 4.01 this afternoon.

    Tools are streaming water, jackets soaked and helmet needs a windscreen wiper.
