Thought that I would post a new addition to my turning corner, I was getting tired of the fact that whenever I turned green "wet" wood the spray of water would get all over the wall and ceiling behind and above my lathe, coupled to that is that I had wall plugs and overhead lights that were in the line of fire of this water spray.

So here is my solution, since I already had the articulated arm for the dust collection I decided to work off of that. As a plus I could also cut a hole through this if I wanted to use it for dust collection as well.
I've also posted a few pics of how I put together the swinging arm for the DC port, very simple solution and works extreamly well.

John - looks like it would work great! Green wood can cause quite a mess... but that is half the fun!!

Sooo, That takes of the wall splatter. What do you do about the "All over the turner" splatter?

Just make sure that I don't smile :) while turning the wet stuff, and wear a ball cap and face shield and raincoat.
