That's great looking! The wood has such nice figure!

I guess that's what you'd call "art"....
Nice job on this one, and the catches are the downside to the better lathes, I'm quite used to the belt just slipping when a catch occurs on my cheapo...

Nice looking first piece off the mustard. Can't wait to see some more.

I've also found that catches are a might different compared to the mini :eek:.

Beautiful wood! So, first piece - how did the mustard work out for you?

Tony, beautiful grain in that piece! I'll have to keep catches in mind as I start out with my new Jet. It's going to have a lot more torque than my mini. Nice job saving it!
