Hi Dave - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you have some talent What's next up on your projects list?

[Dave B]

Hi Jon,

I don't know about talent, I just love doing small projects on the lathe, especially when your friends come around with something broken and you make a new part, a great feeling of achievement, when you do a good job of it.

Hi Dave,

Welcome!

I think we all can identify with that feeling of achievement when a project, however small, has been successfully concluded. I know it keeps me coming back for more!

What are you working on at the moment?

Hi Ken,

Just saw a lathe stop and thought I have a lathe which I use in work a "Colchester student 1800", with no stop, so I'm on holiday this week and no time to do it in working hours, so I'm having a go this week, should keep me busy...
