Opps - Oh dear.

Hi all,

Try number 2 failed, but this time it failed further along in the making. I didn't even swear - honest,
and I was so gentle with it .


I am not quite sure what the wood is, but I think it's a form treated tulip. It smells of burning when being sawn or turned.
Try number 3 tomorrow. I thought it was Walnut but it is far too light for that.




Enjoy the sunshine

Cheers
Frederick

A great discretion not swearing always a disapointment. Back up and as you say start again,good luck mate.

Fred I would be switching to epoxy to glue my tubes in.

Maybe it will help to stand the lathe on a bench instead of hanging it from the ceiling upside down

As Mark stated you need to make sure the glue covers all of the inside for good bondage.

It looks like a lack of glue.

Someone said recently if you do not twist but push in it causes a bubble to form thus gaps in the glue.I find using glue in the blank and on the tube its messy but always holds for me.
