I always lock the spindle except when drilling of course but that's because i don't like flying bits of timber trying to attack me .

Question does this model have 4 cap screws holding the head in place ? Are they tight , can they be loosened and the head stock be re aligned and re tightened . Just a thought .:rolleyes:

A Ringtail the microwave it good for drying plants and keeping most of there colour just don't wait too long to use them as there colours will fade .

That's a nice set of pens ( just finished one myself ) and were did you get that stand it looks great with them .:2tsup:

Yes Crazyskew and i are taking the week of now for our pens and turning projects . Ps no Sierra's .

Love that snake can we have some bigger pictures please iv'e tried to make these before but got the sequence all stuffed about .:2tsup:

No red stains i see that's good , it's that propeller sound that gets me worried .

OK I'm impressed so when is the tutorial on how to make these incredible pens because your 17 hours translates to about 35 to me .But it would be worth it .

? how out of balanced is your wood , does it turn (when lathe is off ) too a certain point all the time if so that's where your out of balance point is .

I did some split hubs in red gum for my trolly Ann ( split as in two pieces ) so i could get the rubber tire on . It was a solid rubber wheel .:oo:
