    LOML gave me shop time today

    I finished the turning tool rack that I started 2 weeks ago. Nothing fancy but it will beat the way I have been storing them. I used some scrap poplar, mahogany and sch 40 PVC finished with satin wipe on poly.




    I had to try out my new collet chuck so I turned this Euro olive wood pen. Love the chuck.

      I will not buy a lathe. I will not buy a lathe. I will not buy a lathe.

      I wonder how much they are in Oz?

          About $549 at Carbatec, though the little Vicmarc bears examining.[]

              I could see me blowing A$1,000 without even trying!

                  Give in and get a lathe, you know that you need one.

                              Also worth looking at the Nova, as it is relatively cheaper in Oz and NZ. Kiwis make a very very nice lathe - Get Woodworking reps them in Melbourne, others elswhere in Victoria http://www.teknatool.com/distributors/vicd.htm.

                              Very easy to blow A$1000 - many cool doodads and accessories for turning.

                                      Ain't them Vicmarcs made there?
                                      I have never turned anything othere than a slimline. Looks like I need to try some different styles!
