Looks like you did very well with it. Having that spindle up there sure helps with what you're working on. I don't mind spindle work, it's just that repetitive thing I hate doing.

Looking good Harry. I have several spindles for a antique chair a friend wants me to turn. Don't like doing them but the money is good for these small projects.

Nice job on the turning part Harry. Do you have to match the finish too?

Nice work Harry. I like doing spindle work every now and again. It takes more discipline and is good exercise for the skills. I know pens and stoppers and finials are spindle work, but they are still free form. Doing matching pieces is really rewarding when you get them done!

Harry,
Nice work. I freely admit that I originally bought the lathe for spindle work to augment my cabinet making. I QUICKLY discovered the vortex for shapes and forms boxes, platters and more, and have rarely returned to spindles. On the other hand, if it weren't for spindle turning, I may never had discovered what all of you guys have known all along !! Life often presents twists and turns, luckily.

Steve,Bernie,Mark-The work is OK it just all the calipers and measuring.It does help to hone the skills and we all could probably use some honing
but, Still YUCK!!!
Baxter-No I told my buddy that I'd do the turning but he had to finish them,He said OK when he was told what having them turned
would cost.We been friends sense I was 10 and he was 12 so no charge for these.
Dick- Theres allot of turners that bought their lathe to turn table legs and have fallen into the VORTEX. Some never even finished their
legs.

I've got (picked up from a "skip trip") 4 pine legs for a dining table... Been meaning to tidy them up on the lathe, and perhaps sand them smooth... Not got back to them since I started on pots and bowls... oops!
