36" is in the range of canes too. It's possible to join the pieces after they've been turned separately. I did it once. I used a piece of all thread on the inside and a copper collar on the...

I live on the west side of Washington. It's a much milder climate than yours. I regret not insulating my shop when I was building it and it was easy.
If it was me and I had the option I would...

Jeff I don't know your situation but if you're physically able to cut your own wood you should look at investing in a chainsaw. I bought a cheap refurbished one off Ebay for around $100 about two...

That's what my daughter's lathe is. The others are correct that it's a Dunlap, an old Sears brand. 5/8" solid head and tail stock. Shopsmith accessories fit. They use bronze oilite bearings. ...

Good advice from everyone. Metal on wood or wood on wood both have far higher friction than wax or oil on wood. Even with waxing or oiling your sole, some heat will still be generated from cutting...

Nice find and nice job cleaning it up.
I can find saws around here back to the thirties and forties fairly easily but tools older than that are few and far between. I don't think our end of the...

Nice job on the tables. The combination of the pottery and wood makes for a very interesting and nice combination. I think your daughter will be pleased.

Joining a club is good advice. It will go a long way toward making the learning curve less steep. Nothing beats learning in person. If there's a club near you, it's well worth the time and effort...

It's amazing how you always find ways to push the boundaries. I always look forward to seeing your work.

Prices don't seem unreasonable to me though I haven't personally ordered from them yet.
I bought a clean...

Awesome find! Enjoy your new lathe.
Hard to picture outgrowing that one.

Sweet!
Happy Birthday.

Nice pen. Well worth the extra glue and time you took to stabilize it.

I like my vintage tools and I like fixing them up to use. A good sharp hand saw was probably the biggest revelation to me. A sharp hand plane was the other. The saw was the first one I had...

Is this an infill that would require the wider wood for the tote or is there some other reason? I think I've seen some woodies with wide bases on the tote where they're set in the body but I don't...

Your wife is definitely a keeper. The plane isn't bad either.

From what I can see after a brief search, Corsairs were made by Great Neck. Red ones like yours appear to be the older version with newer versions going downhill in quality. Yours should be a good...

Taxes is a valid issue, so's shipping. If you have a dealer nearby you may not have to pay shipping. Check to see which option works best for you.

Jason, thanks for the link. I have it saved to my bookmarks.

I sure hope it holds together for you. It'll be beautiful when you're done.

No specific advice on how to get the lathe downstairs, but it's a good problem to have. Congrats on your new lathe.

Great looking box. The holly knob and button really work well with it.

Congrats on the new lathe.
Enjoy.
