Hi David, I had the PM90 lathe (never heard of the 80) which had the 1.5" x 8tpi. There is an insert for the Stronghold that fits as I had one on mine for a while. In addition the vicmarc 120 or...

It's a great machine and a fairly easy restore. It was my first lathe and mine came from a school shop. I replaced the bearings and added a TECO fm50 vfd and it was brilliant. A bit loud due to...
That's a sweet setup for sure. That Glaser chuck is certainly a beaut too. Quick question though as I can't tell from the pics - did you screw chuck the reverse as well or use that tenon I see in...

Hi Curtis,
As has been mentioned you need to pick a pro-line saw if you want ease of repair and longevity. The 455 rancher is a fair saw (I've used them and I know many own them) it is not part...
I've been away from the forums for a bit and came back just this morning and found this... RIP Andy - you were an inspiration for many and a funny guy.

Wow, that quilting is incredible - truly eye candy if I've ever seen any... and Cottonwood you say!!! For the pain and frustration of what that wood does to me, I'd put up with it if I knew that was...
Wow, that's wicked. When I looked at first I didn't see that - but those are incredible. Beautiful :)

Well done Ken! I really like that and the elder is a beautiful wood to! You mean 1/4" thick petals right? (.025" would be wicked, but likely wouldn't support the piece :)).

Robust makes a 4" or you can get 3" rests at some retailers.

I have a set of 5 and they do a good job. However, now that I've grown proficient at using a skew - I don't use them anymore. If interested, shoot me a PM and we can work something out perhaps?

It won't work on the PM90 Mike, you need a specific belt. As I didn't have a jackshaft model, I can't give you specific guidance. However, you could pose this question over at OWWM.org and someone...
Nice work Dennis!
Food coloring works and RIT does work according to Bernie :)
Very cool.
Mike
Lionel, That's a nice looking piece for sure. What really impressed me though is that I originally thought you had turned the entire thing and then carved back to the handles as the grain is...
One thing to consider while you have those zombie killing buddies over. Assembling the lathe can take a bit and getting the legs under the bed in addition to the headstock on the bed once legs are...
I've not seen video's for the hollowing system - but I had a good reference for the coring system <sheepish grin> Thanks Terry :)
The Kelton rig uses the same principles as the Jamieson doesn't...
I owned a PM90, acquired by Auction before moving to my current lathe. They are fine machines. I rebuilt my entire unit - so I could likely give you some insights if you're looking for details.

That's awesome Jeff! I love how you solved the removable top problem too! As John mentioned, I'd wager those would sell real well at craft shows - even at a high price point. There isn't anything...
Love the wood, and I really like the nice curve you've got on the inside. The ogee though seems... I don't know small? Unbalanced? After having looked at it about a dozen times now :) I'd...
Hi Mike,
If you're near a woodcraft, you may want to consider trying an easywoodtools carbide tool. as you hold the tool flat on the rest and let the rest absorb most of the impacts - it may...
I'm in - thanks!
I need one just about that size Josh as I have about 20" between my lathe legs and an adjoining cabinet. Is that a craftsman or another brand? I think I need to actually watch for my craftsman club...
wow, that's striking David. It's bold for sure, but hey - at least I can tell this was still turned on the lathe :) Some of the "newer art" is 99% carving and maybe, at one point it was lathe...
Rusty - I just got an email from Don Pencil that he's blowing out his goblet / bowl buffs for real cheap. I'd check there first to save a few $$.
Mike
wow John - you are doing very well indeed in the wood acquisition realm :)
Say - in case you still have room... I got another pallet in :D Not as much burl, but this one is nearly all english...
