C1545E94-D0DA-40BF-AFF0-70524E0ACEFD.jpeg I’ve been turning for 30 years, although only doing so every few years.
I inherited an old Rockwell 46-111 which I last used 6 years ago to make a set of shakers for my son. Last week I attempted to start another project and found the headstock bearings almost completely frozen. Hopefully next week it’ll be working again.
I mostly make lamps, candle sticks, bottle stoppers, and shakers.
