Well this is My 2nd day on the Jet Mini lathe Im Just getting started and I already Love the little thing. Learning how to use the chisels and trying to control them to make good cuts and keeping them sharp. I orderd the set from HF and its on backorder so I purchased a very chep set for $10.00 so I can play with it some.(I have No Patience)
Well I loved the piece that Bill Grumbine posted !
So I gave it a shot It does not come close to the craftsmanship of his but I tried My best.The rings are too small I will make them larger on the next one. but a good learning experience! Its made from a piece of cherry I found on a jobsite it was a 2 1/2" square x 6' long used by the trucking company to haul materials
What would be a good finish for this?
Thanks Bill Grumbine for the tips!
Jim
