Nice pile-o-curlies, Scott!
I would doubt that it was stopped. I'd contact (email or call) them.
I know I boast about these chucks all the time, and I'm not a paid advertiser or anything, but to answer your question, I still love them. I've got, what 7, now? I've got the 100 with spigot jaws,...
Should you be scared? Only if you're a rabbit. They'll avoid you like a fox will. No worries.
Richard, I fear you may have misunderstood me. I'm not saying that 1/2 hp is enough. I was simply saying that there is a difference between a 1/2 hp Baldor full size motor and the 1/2 hp DC motors on...
Geoff, I think you hit the nail on the head... A 1/2 hp full sized Baldor motor is going to have a lot more torque than a 1/2 hp DC motor on a mini lathe. What is funny is that we, as turners, talk...
Well, James, I was glad to give my two cents, and glad you received it well. I'm guessing that the reason you haven't gotten more feedback is because many people don't feel comfortable giving...
I can hear Tim The Tool Man Taylor saying to put a V8 on it!!!!
Actually, Richard, the Vega bowl lathe I bought (used) had a 24" swing and per the manufacturer's recommendations, there was a 1/2 hp motor on it. It had a jack shaft and step pulley... That said, I...
Great shape on the bowl. I would like to see it a little thinner, but that is just opinion, of course. The design is great, and the lines look nice and smooth. Winner all the way!
And they double as coasters! Great idea, Leo.
I was wondering when that beaut would hit the market... You're a lucky man, Scott. And I'm sure that change jingling around in Jim's pocket is making him smile, too.
Paul, you could have, at least, vacuumed your floor mats before taking the pic! :D Don't worry, you won't see any pics from inside my truck. I'd have to spend more than a few minutes vacuuming the...
James, all too often people ask for C&C and all they get is "nice, I like it, and good job". Not that people don't mean it. But none of us grow with that. So, here are my thoughts:
FBE...what's...
Larry, for me, most of the time, I go with a tenon. The main reason is that it is easier to gauge the bottom of the bowl. And since I do tenons most of the time, when I do a recess, it is very easy...
Well, SOMEONE'S going to end up with a nice shop...
Simple answer, no. Not saying isn't onto something. But no, I wouldn't. Looks like too much could go wrong...
What I'm most impressed with is that this looks brand new, yet apparently, it was made almost 700 years ago! :D
Eric, you did a splendid job on this one. I think the tilted accents add a splash of...
Jared, welcome to the Creek. Be sure to post pics of your work!
I think many to most of us certainly "turn" green wood. I also think a large majority of us cut our own blanks (those with access to...
Roger, if this is what I think, it has gone on to David DeCristoforo where it was completed and, if I am correct, is in use now.
Jim, I completely agree. I, however, didn't have room for a transfer switch and separate panel. That's why I went with an interlock switch. I think the switch costs about $150. Fits right into/over...
Yup, a balmy 1* here this morning, too, Roger. I think I'll wear shorts and a tee today!
Roger, while my shop is toasty warm, the cold weather and snow have left me exhausted, and I don't have energy to turn... It was -4 here this morning. I have never seen it that low. This winter,...
Geoff, I'm with you. The fun in turning a bowl (for me) is the turning part. But maybe not to some. To some, it is getting the job done with what you have... And to yet others, it is figuring out HOW...
Hmmmm, a company is take PRECAUTIONARY measures for a product they sold the MIGHT cause a safety issue. Now, if I could only get GM to recognize that their brake lines ARE a DEFINITE safety issue in...
