like the lathe, +1 on the motor. It would be a good workout.

Love that! At least the motor is variable speed!

I would like to have seen the "motor data plate". I am wondering what the HP ratting is.

Seems like it would be easier to turn if the motor was on the other side of the bed and turning in the other direction. Too much pushing going on, not enough pulling.

You talk about a "slow start" feature on a motor that sure is one. If that kid keeps that up he is going to be one strong man.

Need to get that guy a bicycle and hook it up. No one commented on the size of the thing the guy was turning. Wow that is huge. You think it will be a hollow form.May have to reposition the motor to get the hollowing rig in place.
Member
I'm thinking you would crawl inside, sit on a skateboard, and hollow from inside?
Where did I put that?
Member
That's a great idea. I'm thinking of building one that can be powered by a treadmill, eliptical bike, or some of the other exercise equipment at the gym and then charging people 50 bucks a month to come and run it for me.

What I want to see is the hollowing jig this guy was going to use!

Who needs a motor when you've got kids!You need several, though - when one gets tired, you swap him out for a fresh one.
I like his tool rest, but I think it might limit his forms.
It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.

Now that is wood TURNING......

Seemed to have scaled everything up but the Chisel, what is that a 3/8" bowl Gouge?
as far as the hollowing, I would guess that since this is a segmented piece, he hollowed it as he assembled it, ring by ring? Although i like the scateboarding idea.
Member
Where there's a will........ He needs to get himself a 4" gouge, really give that kid a workout
