You mean, "Not a turner...YET"... ;) Don't underestimate the power of the spin... :D
(And yes...the "Ken project" was a very good thing)

I guess the "yet" part is probably right. I do have an old Craftsman lathe that I bought used probably 20yrs ago and turn a few spindles from time to time but have never really tried making bowls, vases, etc. Got too many flat projects going for now.

I have some Grease left to put on the "SLIPPERY SLOPE".
Somebody send him a Chunk of wood to turn that has the "secret elixir" in it.
I'd do it, but I'm currently out of ELIXiR. Used it all up in the last month. 7 new turners in Peoria. HeHe.

I'm going out on a limb here (pun intended), and go ahead and pre-welcome you to the dark side. You don't realize it yet but once you visit this forum you have been caught.:D

There are a lot of truth to those words.....Lately I find myself lurking on this forum an awful lot. Went out looking at lathes again this afternoon. My youngest son wants to go halvsies on a good lathe, even the Mrs. expressed a bit of interest in one (lathes) as well. So I've been trying to get informed.

OH, OH Steve you should have been haul'in Ash instead of looking at lathes. The hill is steep and slippery. I think it's to late to look back now.

I have to say it seems the spinners are having too much fun :D :D :D ; is it the shavings putting off some kind of toxic fume or what??;)

Right now...for me...it's the fumes from my credit card!

Hey Steve.....Ash makes really really nice bowls and hollowforms and spindles.;)
Ooops!....I just realized...I don't have to convince Steve...he's already hooked!!:o

David...I suggest you just forget all those flat projects and enjoy life a little bit. My tablesaw makes a great benchtop! I can lay down a piece of plywood and practice on my finishes....prep my burls...take lots and lots of pictures...put pens together.... It's a great tool!:D

David, I had one of these a little over 30 yrs ago and turned a couple of spindles. I was very impatient and probably didn't set it up right to begin with and gave it away. Then a little over a year ago, I visited this forum. I now have two lathes. :rolleyes: One post was all it took and now you've done it. Surrenderrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Well, all righty then!
This is too much for one mere mortal to take on solo.
Gonna have to be a team effort.
All those south of the Mason Dixon Line - You got David.
All those north of the Mason Dixon Line - You got Steve.
Wait for it
Wait for it

No Bernie, it isn't a slippery slope, it's a sharp slope. Remember that gouge I turned into a yard dart last night!! YIKES!!!

David - It's only Wednesday (oops, Thursday) and our dear moderator isn't scheduled to pass out our medication again until Friday at noon GMT. My guess is that by 12:01 PM PMT we'll be back up to ramming speed.
