A sure sign you've been turning too much

[Ken Fitzgerald]

or turning the lathe off to check your mistakes!

This evening I was turning a new style pepper grinder as a Christmas gift for my mother or my MIL...depends on what SWMBO decides and the On-Off switch on my Jet Mini VS finally gave up the ghost and wouldn't shut off. I toyed with unplugging it for a short while making changes etc.....then I went to a local hardware store and bought a replacement SWITCH. ( The color is so Hoyt's weak aging eyes can see it.)

Well thank goodness there is a happy ending to this story!!! Getting to close to Christmas to be without your lathe!

[Andy Hoyt]

....then I went to a local hardware store and bought a replacement So now you have two lathes? Cool! :D

Harrumpff - two can play that game.

The quote is for Fitz's aging brain.

ROFLOL That is good Andy.

Ken,

Great idea fixing it yourself! I hope your local hardware store had the correct OEM replacement switch for your lathe. It should look something like this ...

Sorry David..........the switch is for a Jet VS Mini........Not a chair!:eek: :D

David.....on a different note.............Didn' you send a box to me? If so, do you remember what type of wood that bowl blank is? I just found the box and was ogling the bowl blank.

It was a mistake Ken.....that box was supposed to come to me. :p :p :D

[Ed Scolforo]

LOL, you guys are too much! And here I am, staring at the electrical connections on my new Gast pump like a moron, trying to figger out what goes where.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

It was a mistake Ken.....that box was supposed to come to me. :p :p :D

I'll let you know how the bowl blank turns out Dennis!

Ken.

I remember sending the box. For me, that's amazing. I can't remember what half the wood in my own shop is. As I recall, at that time I had ample amounts of Black Walnut and Sugar Maple. Does it look anything like those?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I'll look at it again David....Maple maybe....ash?.......I'll check it out again in a few minutes when I go to the shop. I'm still trying to get the Bomb running again.
