    Glenn and I started turning about the same time. We liked this idea so much....Glenn contacted some "old salt lawyers" of his liking. We formed a corporation called "Bonkers-R-US".....and we are.....and we quickly patented my invention along with some other innovative modifications to it. We generously allow others to use it on occasion.

    You'll note Dewey if your wife finds your bonker...she can create a "state of mind"..........that's if she applies it at about your hairline....or even a receding hairline.......it can alter your mind or your mind set...

    Who's goofy? Nutty?


    Hey Dewey! Your lathe is cleaning up nicely! I'm about ready to lubricate the ways and then start on the 18" bed extension....or is it 24" ....anyway it'll be clean shortly too!

    BTW.....IIRC...I've got a spare belt, lock handle and motor brushes for it.

    I would make you drool with some photos but the LOML is in Illinois...I'm King of my House until Sunday....and she took the cameras with her.

    This got me laughing and remembering my first attempts at turning..........Wanna bet if no one said anything at all his first turning WOULD have been a bonker anyway!! We all did it, mounted up a piece of whatever was close and started cutting away with ALL the tools that came in our starter set. "whats this one do.......hhhmmm........ok what about this odd looking fellow, lets see what it does...........oh crap thats not good.......And so it went!!

    Dewey some terminology for your future:
    Oneway, its not just a direction anymore
    Powermatic, mustard good in shop and on a sandwhich
    Gouge, a tool for turning.
    Gouge, what turning does to your wallet.
    Skew, an evil demon you long to control.
    Parting tool, a tool for turning.
    Parting tool, what turning is for a marriage.
    HF, harbor freight.
    HF Hollow Form
    Flatwork, stuff other guys do.
    Tablesaw, Jointer and Planer, all are storage devices for your turning equipment.


    Theres more but you have to learn some things on your own!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

    Dewey,

    I just finished cleaning the lathe, the tail stock and tool rest. I lubed the ways to prevent rust and the bottoms of the t/s and t/r. I taped the drive center into the head stock and the live center into the tail stock.

    I am sending my poor example of a "donut chuck" with an attached faceplate and an additional faceplate with it.

    I had and am sending a spare drivebelt, a spare on/off switch and 2 spare locking handles that fit the tailstock and the toolrest.
    Ken

    Well...I finally got a double-walled box....a plywood base and the lathe and the 26" extension is screwed to the base. My neighbor is coming over at 0800 tomorrow morning to help me put it into the box and it's off to Fedex.

    Standby Dewey!


    BTW....you are targeted by others.

    Thanks Ken.

    I like the military time reference in relation to the bombing. It is appropriate.
