I saw once where someone was turning a small sailboat mast maybe 20' or so. They took the tail rest off the lathe and clamped it to a table across the shop and rigged up a freestanding toolrest (like...

I have built two over the years. Both from kits and were the stich and glue type. One kit came from Chesapeake Light Craft and the other from Pigmy boats. Both were fairly easy to build and...

I use a camera when hollowing instead of a laser and built this open top steady to address the problem of the steady being in the way of the camera

I use one I put together myself using a small video camera and a TV. Love it and would not go back to a Laser!

I have the G0766 and felt it was a little too tall. Thought about building a platform to stand on but really didn't like that idea. Finally hit on the idea to build a storage cabinet under it...

Thanks all!

Hal, That is a camera I got from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OFVGIF6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00) What I like about it is that it has good focus...

Well I decided that since I was doing a presentation at my next turning club on hollowing with a video camera that I should make a little better mount for the camera and get rid of the rubber bands!...

you might have knocked a wire that was not tight loose from it's connection such as the speed pot or the Forward/Reverse switch wires. I would check to see if any of the small control wires...

Well me nephew sent me up some logs from some gum trees he cut down and I worked on cutting them into blanks today. Out of the four logs I ended up getting 13 blanks some of which I will get 16"...

that is a product called 80/20. I got mine at a scrap sale at work but you can buy it online. the U shaped piece of aluminum I used for the base is from McMaster-Carr. for more info and...

Mike,

they can. You either have to go over the ring or under it. I just got one of the new Grizzly lathes and have built an open top steady for it to solve that issue.

I would guess that his metal lathe did not have 14" of swing (that is how long the toolrest is).

I would use a 16" ring. That would give you almost 15" that it would support. Here is one I did based on Jeff Nicole's design for a 16" swing lathe. I believe you can search on here for detailed...

if you want to try stabilized wood and don't have the chamber or pump I would be glad to run some of what you want to use through my setup. I'm sure there several on here that have setups...
