What’s on your lathe?

[Robert Lindstadt]

Coming along now . Made this piece to put piece on lathe so could straighten out hole to insert a foot to turn the other side.
I used hot melt glue to hold on to a larger piece of plywood cause my Cole jaws were too small to grab the piece.
Stay tune for the finished piece lol

Yet another lidded box - I have alot of kiln dried, shop acclimated african mahogany to get turned..LOL...
My first using my new Oneway banjo 2407 on my PM 3520C

Almost done with this walnut HF. Opening about 1/2 inch, wall thickness 1/8 inch. Hollowing went really well. Don’t know why picture turned 90 degrees.

Every bowl is taking forever to turn since I got my new lathe. I keep stopping to alter/improve my tooling to better adapt to the Vicmarc.

Rough turned a Maple burl......(I'm standing back aways so that you can see the entire setup...Here, the headstock is swiveled about 15° for easier access to the interior.)

Odie, the more I look the less I understand what I'm seeing. I recognize the lathe and the steady... And then there seems to be a million tubes, attachments and accessories attached to the lathe which I'm a bit unclear on.

What all am I looking at?

Hello James.......

About the best I can do is to suggest you run some searches for past threads over the past 20 years. Almost everything on my lathe have been discussed at some point in time.....

Except for the rotating headstock, pretty much nothing has changed since my purchase of a Vicmarc VL240 lathe.

Here is a couple with the colored rim I made. Donated these this past weekend for a fundraiser for kids parents who couldn’t afford Prek.

Started this one this afternoon - an 11” wide piece of bug eaten, spalted maple that was given to me.
