I agree Reed it's a plot... Cats and Dogs living together, Oh my....
I am thinking the same, Bocote.
I have a 4x4x15 piece which should make an Ideal mallet. I'm turning it in the morning. Should be fun. I'll be using Thompson and Sorby tools.
Reed,
Very good vid sir. Clears up a thing or two for me.

I for one am really shy and don't think my work worthy. I've been turning for a couple of years, off and on due to health issues. I take C&C well I just don't think I'm good enough to post my work....

Merry Christmas to you!

Vince is great, but I have started using abranet discs from 2sand.com. Abranet has a mesh build and the dust goes through and won't clog as fast. You can use air to blow it out clean or tap on the...
They say the lathe is a hole in the ground we throw money at a regular basis. If you get a lathe that needs 220v that will cost you $500 from a reputable electrician. Then you'll need good lighting...
