Hello,
I hope you all had a wonderfull Easter celebration. I thank you all for your great advice on a new lathe. I will be picking up my new Palmgren 15" lathe this week, and I have a couple of questions I am hoping you can help me with.
My work shop is in the garage, and I noticed yesterday that my old mini lathe has a small amount of surface rust on the bed. What can I use to remove that, and what should I put on the new lathe to prevent it from happening on my new tool?
I saw a post recently that refered to turning green wood, treating in an "alky bath", and then drying. Can you recomend a good book or internet resource that would detail this process, including a recipe for the "alky bath"?
My son and I are really excited about the new lathe. Once we have a chance to set it up, and give it a good workout, I will be posting a review of the lathe on this site.
Thank You,
Dan Heine
