    A nice little addition

    The turning corner of my workshop just got a little bit more crowded [I need more space like I need air! ] My new Delta midi 46-460 arrived early this morning from CraftSupplies USA, and I have gotten it set up [for now, anyway] and am looking forward to christening it with a few shavings a.s.a.p!

    Now, I just have to get one more chuck.......then I think I will be set for a while, at least This vortex is killing me.............help! Well, not really!

    Congrats Roger, you'll find it a welcome addition. I placed a 2x8 across the back of the stand's feet, and set 2 bags of sand on it for a bit of extra ballast.
    Have fun and make chips!
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Not a bad idea, Tim......my first turning session went well as far as vibration goes, but only a fairly small block of wood....nothing big or unbalanced........still seemed stable ......more so than I expected. Thanks!

    Nice looking Round to it Roger. Looks like it needs a little green paint though.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    Our turning club has a couple of those. They sure are quite and they seem to be a favorite with everyone. I'm jealous.
