I saw this video on the www.woodworkingchannel.com (http://www.woodworkingchannel.com) it showed a guy making a bowl from aboard. :confused: He used a bandsaw to cut out a spiral. He glued up the spiral, hanging down from the center point. He then cut it down on a lathe. I must've forgot something very important! I tried this, and what came out I would not try to turn! Any ideas.:confused:
The board of Birdseye maple that I found in the trash along with a lot of other pieces of wood blocks that had to come from a woodturner (see pictures) of what I found and pieces I have turned from it. It was the mother lode (one man's trash is another man's gold):D:D:D for a poor veteran living on social security disability I could not believe my eyes!!!! I have a Delta mini lathe; most of the time I get pieces of wood from scrap that is destined for firewood. So to come across these gorgeous pieces of wood for me was an act of God and divine intervention.:rolleyes::rolleyes:
Another thing I came across, a friend took me to an estate state sale last Friday he founded it on Craig's list. They had a 1939-1940 Sears and Roebuck/Dunlap lathe. It also had 4 Sorby tools and some Sears tools. He got it for me. I brought it home. I tore it down. I'm going to repaint it. It was working, and I found pictures of it on the Internet. I also found the old Sears and Roebuck catalog from 1939-1940. Mine is Model #101.6242 check it out; I believe his is a Model # 101.6260 www.yankeetoys.org/lee/lathe-5.htm (http://www.yankeetoys.org/lee/lathe-5.htm) I will post pictures later. Any idea what it may be worth:confused: It was a package deal, I wanted the Sorby tools. also can you tell me the type of wood from the pictures.
