A Lathe is Added to the Shop
July 24, 2014 Leave a comment
I ran into a deal I could not refuse for a mini lathe. I picked it up at harbor freight (which I normally avoid) because it has great reviews and is essentially the same lathe as the rockler only much cheaper. I am going to practice to be able to make any projects in the future that require wood turning and to have a better use for all the small pieces of scrap that I generate. My first attempt was a bowl made from the left of Sapele from the last projects. The second bowl is the first project from the red elm in the back yard.
