HDF Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) Did you burn those lines on with a cheese wire? I've never had much success when doing that on some of my work. Oh and what lathe do you have? just wondering because I'm thinking about getting another one in a bit. Really nice priest there, I've always liked laburnum, what did you use to finish it?

My lathe is an old wadkin but highly modified with some fancy electronics for speed/acceleration/braking/forward/reverse etc control.... if you want, PM me a land line and I'll call you about lathes etc. The wood is sanded up to 600 grit then 3x sealed with sanding sealer and friction wax/hand rubbed, finished each stage with 0000 wire wool. Also I do a reverse sand to pull out any laid fibres. Burn is done with a sharpened antler. cheers MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered 3 machine bases from Axminster today, I want to move then about the workshop more when each one needs more space, this way I can roll them out of the way. 3 are over 220 Kg and one is up to 275 kg. The lathe will remain static. There are some bargain lathes on the AWGB site or join your local AWGB and one of them may have something suitable plus you can try out some club lathes.

I just had a look on AWGB, there seem to be some pretty good deals on there, although with the size of the lathe we have it wouldn't be impossible to make a woodturning lathe in the shed. At the moment I have to wait for good weather to do any woodwork, just bolt a vice to the terrace table and get going with a rasp and some sand paper.
