First real turning on new lathe

[Themackay]

Finally got my big maple log on the lathe

 

[Woody]

Looks like your going to have a bit of fun

 

[Jim]

Now that is a log ..

Don't forget to show us the finished item Macca ..

 

[Buckeye]

I love big stuff on the lathe, I can't wait to see what you produce

I can't stop drooling at the lathe let alone the log.

 

[Themackay]

I just hope it dont end up as a pen

Have a look at the Oversized Pen, Brian made one and you may just have enough wood on the lathe to do the same

Nice lathe, and some log that. Look forward to seeing the end result. At least you'd have plenty of shavings to sell as rabbit bedding if it ends up being a pen

 

[Penpal]

Logged on at last mate good fortune.

Kind regards Peter.

[Vic Perrin]

[stevenw1963]

big log, big lathe, why are you taking photo's of it when you should be spinning it

Will make a nice vase that ..........................................or a pen if you get carried away

 

[Lainey]

Holy moly what a log ! I can't wait to see what's hiding inside it ! What wood is it ?

[brody2123]

Big is best, and I can personally testify to that! Looking forward to seeing what comes out of that

 

[Dalboy]

I have had the opportunity to turn on that model lathe. Very nice indeed.

I would like one as a second lathe if only to turn a couple of pens

Can't wait to see what comes off of it

 

[Themackay]

I want it to be a large vase I am open to suggestions for design I have turned it round and it is about 19 inches by about 8 inches now and a huge pile of shavings on the floor.
