I dont want that to be misleading... I was refering to machining the main "housing/body"... hardening and ground/polishing would still need to be done along with the "tips".

Jerry, i know nothing about patents or things like that, but you might want to check into that.
Not sure about the issues you brought up about turning between centers, outside of a CNC its one of...
Why not (unless your lathes tail-stock is fixed) ?
You could do it acouple different ways on a manual lathe.
If your tail stock is adjustable (and you have 15" of Z travel) and you feel like...
Nice job centering, thats a close fit.
If you search google for 'shop made taper attachment' you'll find a few.
Depending on what your doing, you can get by "turning between centers" using the tail-stock off center... works great.
Heres...
Hello all... posted here awhile back... not much time for woodworking, flat or spinning but a woman i work with just retired (she was my boss about 16 years ago for a short time) who is a great...
wow, they both came out really nice.
The bands definitely separates then from just another bowl(s).
Thats great! Really like the natural edge rim.
Did you "spot" the stem with some kind of dye or is that just the color/grain of the wood ?
Good for you, im sure your gonna have lots of fun.
Nice job with the bench and cleave idea with the weight in the hollow legs.
Yea... the grain does look cool, kind of like how a canon wall looks.
Thats pretty cool... Odd, when i see turnings with "turquoise filler" in voids it never sits "right" with me, but this being full coloured looks good, i like it.
Slick looking work, nice job.
Id have to agree with that.
The view count is not just people, its also 'bots', 'web crawlers', etc. - search engine tools/programs.
Do you snip the corners somewhere along the lines? At the pace you seam to be working, i would have guessed you would have done it with the chainsaw.
nice way to end the year, looks like your "test run" came out sweet.
That's great, yous make a good team - like the snowman the best.
wow, that really is beautiful - all the hard work definitely paid off.
Definitely eye catching, great work.
Really nice work on them wands, the carving looks great and the last three birdhouses are impressive how they are sized... roof lines and holes.
Looking good, came out nice. Glue lines are tight, cant see a thing.
That sure is a nice finish on a great turning.
Nice job... i like the round top and bottom of the last one, but any curly wood will steal the show :)
Ohhh... did not notice it was a 1/2HP, good catch... kind of silly for a lathe that size.
Ive read here (and other places) of many people buying lathes and tools from other club members, maybe...
Not for ornaments's, but....
