Hello Everyone:
I am a newbie in this forum and I hope to learn more on pen turning from all the members here. Also I would like to share some of my experience in some of the equipments that I have built over the years. The first piece of equipment that I want to share with all the members here is my homebuilt wood lathe. As I am new here and being an illiterate in computer system, I will be deeply appreciated if my reader can be patience and understanding while I learn to navigate through the system etc.
Before I start here is my very important opening statement:
THE MACHINES SHOWN HERE WERE BUILT BY ME. HOWEVER THE CONCEPT AND DESIGN OF THE MACHINE BELONGS TO MY VERY GOOD FRIEND AND MENTOR, MR LESLIE GEYER OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. ALL CREDIT GOES TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND.
For the older generation of wood turners, especially those from Australia, you may heard of his name and the upcoming machine. If so, please bear with me while I share it with the younger generation. In the past, I have written an article in one of Australia's leading wood working forum on this machine, it has attracted a lot of attention. Unfortunately for reason known only to them, it also attracts a lot of unkind remarks. As I am sharing my experience and various technical drawings strictly on a voluntarily basis, I will only answer posting or requests for technical details etc whether through this thread or my PM. All other postings which I deem unkind will be ignored. Your advance understanding and forgiveness will be deeply appreciated.
Coming up next: Introduction. . . . . . . . . . .:wink:
