awesome... I always pick something up from a cool maker like this even if it's similar methodology to something else I've seen... fantastic to find folks that didn't throw unapproachable finances or time expenditure at something and just got her done did, and well, and comfortable enough to just keep doing, even
I don't understand how people who come up with gadgets for doing stuff like this don't come up with a decent tool rest that doesn't need to be moved and reset after every 6 or 8 inches of turning. By the way, I have used an adaptation of this on my spring pole lathe with a nose auger. Works very well thanks you.
The rest should be very close to the work, if you have a work that changes shape drastically then you need to adjust the tool rest, very cool to hear you have a spring pole lathe with this adaption. Have you tried making a flute on it? I am interested to know if this would work just because the work wobbles a bit more on spring pole, thanks.
You are using the wrong tool to bore the blank, try gun drill and a steady rest (for supporting the end of the blank) , you will have much better and accurate results and you won’t need to sand the bore with sandpaper neither
@@Lovetrucking I read somewhere that smaller bits like to wander more. A 1/4" bit that long sounds very wobbly? The main question for me is the hollow tailstock. The copper one in this video is visibly wobbly.
Very interesting but what a mess of a workshop. Should visit some Japanese woodwork shops to see how to care for the surroundings. Hopefully the result is good.
