Need a short run of decorative (rustic) fence along the front drive area, and I am considering trying to turn the post and rails myself. I have a number of downed cedar trees that should be suitable for this. I have the Shopfox W1758 Lathe that handles 42" spindle length.
I would need to extend the bed to handle the 6 ft posts, and would probably make the rails 6 ft also for simplicity.
Has anyone done this type of thing? What is the best way to handle the extra bed length needed?
