I'm making a bamboo cutting board with a zebrawood boarder and I'm not sure if I should use wood glue or a two part epoxy?

I typically use and have on hand both tightbond II waterproof wood glue...

It was a lot of fun building the monster and I suppose if I was approached I could replicate the basic form to create another one for a fee but Like David said, its a one of a kind.

The tool rest...

That's awesome David, I am flattered beyond words.

Glad it went to a good home. :D

Glad to provide some inspiration. I am truly flattered.


I should stop by the creek more often.


Keep up the good work Tom! I would hope you have made some progress since the last update.

Thanks for the props!


I'm stoked! Its more machine than I would have bought had I had the money to buy a lathe, which has been high on my wish list for a while now.

I'm even more excited...

A short story I wanted to share...




A couple years ago I bought my mom a ring saw for cutting stained glass. With the extra blade and drive belt I spent about $500 on it but she didn't use...

Congrats to David D! I look forward to you're visit and I'm glad it will be going to a good home.

Jeff, if I thought it would get you out here for a visit I would have told Dave to suck on rocks...

Thanks for all the edits Mr keeton...

Monster lathe is free to a good home. e-mail me for details...triangle5@sti.net

Good bye.

Do the math.

1 HP = 746 watts.

5 HP X 746 watts = 3730watts /220v = 16.95 amps. Twice that many on a 110 outlet, that would be 33.9 amps. It would pop a 20 amp breaker every time it was...

It was fun reading my own words and having the experiences play back in my minds eye reminding me how much enjoyment I got out of building the monster. The hours contemplating the possibilities and...

The monster needs a new home.

I'm the kind of guy who likes to build things, engineering challenges and the like but when its all said and done, I just don't use it.

The machine is stable as...

Yeah Free, and I know I suck.

I did promise to make him a wall clock so I am obligated to some extent.

I know its been a while since I stopped by ye ole creek to soak my feet, so when I came across this I just had to share.

I called a friend of mine who has a mill to see if he had any spare wood...

That was my first impression. I also like the detail making the barrel look as if it was made of planks.

Bingo John!

maybee the addition of a gold border 'stripe' as mentioned just to guild the lilly so to say.

GREAT platter! The recipients will be pleased regardless.

I must agree with ^^^

I got goosebumps reading the artist depiction.

A+ on the design and the excecution.

Good to know.

Ill look for the system3 product you mention. I was thinking a poly finish might be best to avoid yellowing over the years.



Bill was a good man and will be missed greatly...

I picked up a slab of redwood form Humbolt county big trees on the way home from my brothers funeral this past weekend. I have ordered the clock works and hands for it and plan on routing the recess...

Thats a fine piece of mashinery there Jeff! Made in USA gotta love that. I bet it lasts another 100 years easily.

sand blast it and a coat of paint (Red oxide would be my choice) tune and...

Very well done Dale! is the motor VS? that would help a lot and a TEFC motor would not be harmed by dust or shavings.

I too was discouraged by the high cost of commercially available lathes with...

One of these days I am going to fly east just to spend a day or two with jeff in his workshop. (was that single malt or double Jeff?;) )
