Glad you guys enjoyed seeing my old wooden lathe.

VERY NICE! I love seeing nice work come off a Lathe. Years ago, I had an ancient 5 speed lathe with an 8' bed and 18" throw. Could work wood or spin/shape sheet metal. I miss it terribly but need for it died off and it eventually went down the road. I really like your design for self built Lathe. Simple, Sweet and Effective!

Quite impressive!

especially the turning pic. ya know, looking at it again, not that i looked more than once but... is it just me, or does that look like a good opening scene for a a a ... oh never mind.

I think your confusing 2 different types of movies. You're thinking about a movie where the balls would be "caressed" (causing the ensuing mess that appears to be shooting on his shirt).
Keep in mind, Adrian has a sharp blade against his balls. This would fall into a "horror" type of movie.

Mind out of the gutter girl.




Nice job Adrian. I was watching this very thing on youtube this morning.

what kind of urethane glue are you using?

Borden I think. I got my last bottle at Home Depot. I'll check tomorrow. Why...? What ya got in mind?

I also am looking forward to seeing the finished product. Very nice indeed.

Reminds me of the one This Old House when Norm was turning spindles for a porch banister.
His flannel-clad brawny forearms, the sawdust sticking into the hair and sweat there...
But I must say seeing your big balls really does something for me.
Love....Jill

Here are the finials installed. I also built the flower bed this morning. It's a gorgeous day here today. 9 degrees and sunny... perfect for working outside.
