I like a nice breakfast tea with honey and half an half. Plus some biscuits. (my new English term for cookies)

Morning People,
A cold snap has moved back in last night. I haven't burned so much locust as I have this year. The ole wood stove is holding up pretty good. Temps up today, upper twenties to low thirties.

@vehve - I try to keep the tool rest pretty close to the work piece. I usually rough it down to within 1/4" - 3/8" of the finish piece, hit with the carbon tooling ( I have no idea what the real name for those things are), then finishing with a scrapper. All along, keeping the tool rest in line with the bed and parallel with the work piece. This is if the center has a flat spot. Then I run the taper to the ends. Some pins start the taper right from the middle and no real flat spot. It takes about 30 mins - 40 min per pin.

Off to the mill for some black cherry and soft maple...........

Enjoy your day
Kaj

I have a neighbor who does wood working. He has a sign out now and then for a sale.

I also have what appears to be a lathe up on the rafters in my garage, that was left by the previous owner. I don't know why he would have left it but it's there. I've thought of taking it down and selling it though I don't know what it would be worth. I'll never use it.

I just saw a picture of the biggest lathe I've ever seen. Someone was making a bowl using a tractor as a lathe. The bowl was probably close to 4 yards in diameter.
