Any woodworkers?

9 trusses
Here’s the next one in progress as I write

 

How long does it take to make one?

 

That’s the one I have. I love it. I bought the bed extension too.

 

This is the exact lathe I have. Not my dream lathe, but it works well.

 

What is your dream lathe?

Additionally, I bought a Nova Chuck many years ago for my Delta lathe, would that work on this lathe?

 

Right now we’ve been 1.3 trusses per day. So about 10ish hours per truss. That’s with 2 of us so about 20-25 man hours per truss

 

This was a fun fence I did together with my son. The use of stainless steel accents added a different touch.

 

got the antique oil on the desk top. Boy it is one hell of a slab. Never seen anything with this much figure in it

have a lot of little things left to tidy up still before I put on the shellac and poly

 

That’s because nowadays, good hunks of burly and figured wood are largely turned into veneers sheets because you can get a lot more$$.

Since figured and burled wood are rare in the first place it has become even rarer to find a good quality slab and because you can get such a premium for it, it mostly becomes veneers. That looks like quite the find.

 

This with the stand, and outboard turning mount.

Everything I have used or touched a powermatic tool it has felt like it was made for me.

 

Man that is amazing!!!

 

Thanks friend, as I said, it was a fun project. And of course working with your son doubles the pleasure.

 

Incredible

So Im back in business with the bandsawblade...strange how you can take for granted a sharp blade...

Ended up ordering 2 original blades

 

I need to change mine but I’m trying to finish the year with it. They are so expensive!

 

Yep dont get bosch. They are junk
