Today was a great day at the Lathe club

Another surprise today when i went to the Lathe club was another lady wood worker, the lady's name was Helen. I did ask for permission to take the picture and post on my Blog. Helen is making a chair and what you see is Helen making a spindle and this is the second of three Helen made today.


Today there where two Lathes for sale and a Spindle cutter. Helen got herself her first Lathe and good luck Helen.











Today i was able to buy a Lathe and the one i got was so much better than the one i have at home in Portugal.

Only if you have a lathe would you perhaps understand the picture. I will be able yo make bowls 30cm or 12 inches in diameter. Or work to be turned up to over a metre.

Here is the scroll cutter o got, i don't have a use for it but at the price i paid it was a bargain i couldn't let someone else have.  It's like a big fret saw that can be used on work up to 16 inches or 40 cm. To be honest i have looked on Youtube and i know just what i can do with this new addition in my workshop.
