Matt, would a 2nd banjo work? Bolt the steady to the bed with a banjo on each side. About $300 for a spare banjo, and the set up and tear down time seems like it would be less.

Tom, Do you have 3 phase coming in your house? If not (normally the case), seems like the expense of running it from the street (if it is there) would outweigh any benefit 3 phase would buy,...
Thankfully, "ah ha moments" continue to occur.....
Barry, I made one from a part of a machine that you and I have serviced. It worked great, but I figured that one mistake and my wife would have to figure out how to get rid of all my "stuff." It was...
My Nova 1644 has 0 play laterally and radially, without belt tension. Time for "surgery".
Looks like the OP uses a rag for polishing. Is that a proper procedure when the lathe is spinning?
Roger, I also did the lichtenberg method. I have worked around electricity - high and low voltage - most of my life, and felt confident about constructing a safe unit. After a few sessions, I...
Could it be an edgeless platter?
A free Shopsmith. What the heck is this? Tried it. A few spindles and bowls - garbage really - but a tremendously addictive experience. Nova 1624 now, maybe an upgrade in the future.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree -- Something to be proud of for sure. Great looking piece. Is it hollow?
John, Can you tell us what your carbide bits are please? Spade, jobber,etc.
John, all I did was highlight, copy & paste. Not sure why it works most times and not others.

Robert, I'm trying to figure out what your blank looked like before turning. I get the grain pattern on the left, but the pattern on the right is baffling to me. Was the blank a curved branch? That...
Jeff, would both the dutchman and epoxy work, completely filling in the void?
John, Did you melt, mold, grind, or shape the glass somehow to get the raiin drop?
Looks very professional to me.
John, I would like to copy the pedestal if it's ok. How did you fasten the walnut "tray", and how did you fasten the bowl to the "tray"?
Steve, what does SW mean? Still wet? sideways? south west? some where?
I am quite fond of the manual chainsaw.
Alex, You are probably right: It is doable. But not by me, at least not yet. I don't know enough about microwave propagation to feel comfortable working with it, so until an expert on the subject...
Maybe some of the smart people here would be able to develop an affordable, refrigerator size RF kiln. Vacuum and heat - no problem. The RF I believe is the stumper.
Barry, A thrift store may have a pair of slightly used blades, with 6 or 8 wheels for 2 bucks. If the shaft size is the same, I would use the highly calibrated finger nail test to determine the...
Anyone know what the magic "stuff" is that is used in the video to help provide greater friction between the jam block (?) and bowl?
I would flip coins. All your options sound great.
