I built a fun little shop project to enhance my little wood lathe.  I posted it over in the wood turning enclave.

I love the ingenuity of my fellow WoodNetters, even if the idea was started from another post somewhere. Please keep us updated as to how well it works.
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

Very inventive.  It certainly makes those little lathes more appealing.

Sitting out in the barn gathering rust is a homemade lathe that will turn 8 ft. The ways are channel iron on edge and the legs are angle iron. Very heavy. I foolishly bought it at auction for $5.

My boss is a Jewish carpenter. Our DADDY owns the business.
Trying to understand some people is like trying to pick up the clean end of a turd.
