Hello All,
I usually post over in the other forum, but my recent woodworking has started to bring me into the turning world. I have recently been building windsor chairs (or at least my version) and desire to improve on my design and speed of my production by adding a lathe to the workshop. I have searched the forum but have not found a lot of info on spinlde turning. I am curious if anyone has any experience turning long thin spindles like you would see in the back of a windsor chair? I have read through several lathe books but can't seem to find much info. My thoughts are that once you get below 5/8 or 1/2 inch in diameter the thing will be flopping around in breeze.
