Made some stuff in shop class some many years ago, have my grandpa's old wood lathe down stairs stored by the wall. Haven't touched it in 28 years. Why do I hang on to stuff I don't use...
Because the wife hasn't found a good use for that wall yet.
I work with a really good wood turner. I just helped him design a attachment to turn balls.
Like the rest of you last time I did wood turning was in high school. Thinking about it though as every week I see a lathe for sale on CL real cheep. Something to do when I get old.
I don't like cleaning up so I think turning is last on my list
I agree on the clean up, wood shavings get everywhere! The worst is in my shoes and socks, what a pain in the ***!
I got a small lathe off of craigslist pretty cheap. I'm still a rookie but I have made a ton of beer openers and handles. Just trying to learn the tools and the right way to use them.
