Spade bit and banding clamp, Yep, had to get a closer look at that one, looks like one of my contraptions.:eek:

That was pretty cool. I saw something similiar on youtube recently where a guy had made a jig to fit on either side of the work piece in his lathe, then he ran his hand plane over the top of the jig and turned a dowel out of an irregular size piece of stock. People can come up with some pretty cool things around here.

Is this wrong??? Should I return the ironing board, and new skillet?

[Bernie Weishapl]

Now that is really cool. Now that is some up to date chucking.

You should buy her a new Lathe:)

[Ray Bell]

New lathe, wonderful idea Dennis.

[Ron Stadler]

I like the new lathe idea, just make sure you throw away the receipt for she can't take it back.;):)

I think that the video is a classic. If I had a choice of companions to be stuck with on a deserted island, this guy would be a finalist.

Now that is slick! I'll have to remember that for the future when I want a Padauk dowel, or something equally rare at stores.
