You spin me right round....

Wow! Lovely machine.

I was looking longingly at one of these (or rather the Record branded Maxi2) the other day.

According to the specs it weighs in at a little under 600lbs.
How did you shift it!! :shock:

I didn't 8) :lol:

But then suffered the taunts of 'Fraud' :roll: :wink:

 

[Vulthoom]

I really want to try and take it slowly and learn spindle work first...

Just what I said when I got my first lathe last year...

Then, after first fiddling with a piece of scrap wood for 5 minutes I slapped on a piece of spalted sycamore and out came the bowl gouge..

You'll be on to hollow forms by next Tuesday!

Come on wizer, I thought by this morning you would have had at least 10 different items up on the forum after an all night turning session :lol:

Patience is a virtue my friends...

How can you sleep with that machine sitting outside! :shock:

 

[Vulthoom]

Just as a matter of interest, what is inside the base?

I can see that the motor is behind the door under the headstock
but what's over on the right?

How familiar does that sound !!
Don't know if people would agree or not... but....
Bowls are much easier than that 'spindle-malarky' :wink:

Get a nice two-pound round lump howling around at in excess of 2000 rpm, and start ramming metal prods at it... and out comes "a bowl".
None of that "coves & beads & pummels" nonsense !

So - is he 'up' yet, do you think ?
Is he in his garage - merrily spinning away ?
did he even sleep ?
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

He's Up !!!!

Toast and tea, Sir ? Croisannts perhaps ? :wink:

 

[Bodrighy]

No he isn't, someone's doctored the picture unless he managed to turn that without moving the tools first. I reckon this is all a spoof and the lathe is actuually still at Blisters.
