Well,
I completed another project (subject for another thread) back in November and I closed the shop doors and had not been in the shop for over two or three months.
I am an active member on a car forum and a member there was in need of someone to do a little wood turning for him so I volunteered.
I don’t know if I am allowed to post links to other forums here or not but I guess if it is in violation a mod will edit it out of my post.

I am in the process of rebuilding the wood work on the front windows of my 100+ year old house.
Most of the trim I can do myself, but am in need of a wood lathe to make the last pieces. I do not want to buy a lathe for just 2 pieces.
I am willing to pay some-one to do them for me. I can send you the part that needs to be copied along with money.
I am sure that I would be able to find some-one local, but thought that I would try here first. I would rather pay somebody that I sort of know. and have your work permanatly on display for another 100 years.
This is what I need, it is about 29" long and about 5" in diameter, cut into quarters;

It took me a while to get out to the shop and get going on it, he said he was in no hurry and would not need it until spring soooo. You know how that goes.
I did this on my cheapo $150 HF 12/42 (Modified slightly)
I have been waiting for a friend of mine to come up the hill and weld up the ways for my home made lathe but he keeps flaking on me so I decided to make due with the smaller machine.
This is my second attempt at it, I tried doing it with a 4X4 redwood post and it was still wet and way out of balance so I scrapped it and started over.
I glued up the 1X pine blanks and mounted it to the lathe and got started turning.
My camera took a dump a few weeks ago so all I had was my blackberry to get pics.
First order of business was getting the stock round:

Made a sled (jig) for it and zipped it through the band saw.

This is how it sits now and I will finish quartering it tomorrow morning and get it shipped out by noon.
