What’s on your lathe?

[Don Wattenhofer]

I grew up next door in South Dakota. I remember those winters.

Well the temp is rising - yesterday the temps kept rising tell it was about 15F at about 6:00PM and continued to rise till now it is 17F so as the day goes on I expect that it will continue to rise.
My wife grew up in the James river valley along US12.

Miniatures are fun because you can turn 10 in 10 minutes, maybe come away with 3, and in an hour you might have one that has an okay shape.

This is proving to be very slow and very hard. Its well dried and seasoned, but then I realized its from a tree that has a high silica content. How high? I am not sure but it sniggers at my 1/2 Thompson gouge and I have had to turn to my Carbide tipped gouge. But the finishing is proving to be the slowest even with a tungsten grit files, lol I am going through sandpaper at a rate of knots not seen on Blackwood before.

After seeing the interview with @john lucas I've come to appreciate the idea of doing miniatures. That will be in the future though, as i don't miniatures is the right work to learn turning skills with.

I just reread the thread about the interview! When I saw it before I thought John Lucas was hosting Pat, and I wasn't familiar with Pat, so I didn't look too far into it. I am dissapointed that I missed it, I would have loved to see!
