Author Topic: New toy NFB lilredss 1st Gear Member # 1969 posted                    My other hobby besides my cars is woodworking. My new toy is a new lathe that I just got. For those of you that are into woodworking. It's a Powermatic 4224. 24 inch swing 42 inch between centers 3 hp 3 phrase motor variable speed weight 891 pounds Boy was it a job getting it out of the back of the truck and into the shop. There are also a few pictures of some things I have turned. The good stuff has all been sold. I have 2 stores that sell my turnings. A local art gallery and a high end gift shop. http://community.webshots.com/album/138208021PaLTWO Bob [ 27.

The last time I used one was in 8th grade woodshop class.

My father-in-law has been doing stuff like that for a couple of years now, mainly tables, entertainment centers, etc. He bought a lathe a couple of months ago and loves it! Wish I had the patience for that type of work...

Come home from a rough day at work, change clothes and go out to the shop and put a piece of cherry or walnut on the lathe. Turn the lathe on and forget about the day's problems. Nothing matters how but you and the piece of wood. Love it! Bob Posts: 149 | From: Cary, NC | Registered: Jul 2003  |  IP: Logged
