Very nice bowl Mike. Form and finish both look really nice.

I have their 14" granite BS and 17" drill press and love them both. Have not had any problems with the granite table on the BS chipping or cracking. My main concern with this lathe would be,...
Absolutely gorgeous piece Bill. I love the finish, I really think that it brings out the natural beauty of the wood much more that the high gloss. Beautiful wood too.

I have heard alot of really good things about the Rikon 14", but you might also want to consider the Steel City 14" BS. It is a very well built machine with tons of power, you will need to get a...
I honestly don't think that chipping would be a big enough problem to actually damage the lathes performance. I have had Steel City's bandsaw with a granite table for about a year and worked it...
I agree with every one else that you should probably just throw it away. If you really want to turn though, you might try using a glue block.

A guy I know tunes a piano for a guy who ran his fingers through a tablesaw with a dado on it. They managed to get the 4 fingers stitched back on, but their about 1/2" shorter than on the other...
Would you mind sending me the PM too Jeff?

When the Rikon came out about 2 years ago, I know that they had some random and unpredictable problems. I got lucky with mine and have never had any problems, but like I said, the problems were very...
Very nice peice Mike, I love the form and wood.

I dont do any segmented turning, but if you want one that has a belt sander behind the disc, the Rikon looks very well built and I think they have a good reputation.

WOW! I love the variety of styles, that is something that I always struggle with. Mahoganey HF, corrungata, and the walnut HF are probably my favorites.

Mike, I really like the pen. Sorry about taking this long to get back to you, I got it a couple of days ago, but have been very busy and didn't have a chance to post until now. I also really liked...
Very sorry to hear about your accident. I did almost the exact same thing to my little finger with a gas hedge trimmer a couple of years ago. It hurt really bad for about 1-1.5 weeks, I remember the...
Very nice pens Mike. Not sure if you are planning on trying to sell pens at some point, but if you do, I have found that probably 90% of my sales have been cigars and the rest europeans, virtually no...
Gorgeous piece Keith. I love the form and the soft finish.
Tim
Looks great, you really brought out the wood.

Great peice Steve, The embellishments really help it. It's obvious (not too obvious) that the zia's were drawn on free hand, and I think that it really adds alot of character to the peice. Not sure...
Two lathes are great to have. I would go with the PM over the Oneway, because the headstock is fabricated on the Oneway (as opposed to being made of cast iron) you will get alot more vibration,...
Did you sand the interior of it, and if so, how?
Tim
[QUOTE=Ryan Baker;1127618]I'm going to disagree with that, assuming you are talking about a larger cutter and not just a larger diameter bar. A larger cutter takes a heavier bite and tends to be more...
I have taken classes from Mike Mahoney and been to one of his demos before and they are great.

Very nice setup Woody. What kind of pump did you use? It looks like a gast from the pics.
Tim
Very beautiful work. Welcome to the forum.

My impressions of the steel city granite lathe have been very good as well. Also, like Mark said, go with just a few high quality tools and you will enjoy your self much more, very few people like...
