Re: woodturning
I guessed and had a pool ball drilled to 17mm, then had to pack it with a bit of paper so 16mm is probably pretty much spot-on.volvodspec wrote:i believe/thought 16mm but i'm not too sure anymore

Re: woodturning
You don't have to worry about the reverse gate, it's below the knob.

Re: woodturning
yeh and dont copy the volvo knob.
I'd love a nice slender one that grows up and outwards. reverse dont get used untill your parking and its easy enough to activate.

Re: woodturning
I see progress
Very much visually pleasing pieces you have made again, that is really great stuff, people would easily pay good price from such things

Re: woodturning
Hunger grows bigger and soon:


CNC wood turning lathe, automatic sanding and laquering etc, makes block to product with press of button as you just have made design at computer, might be 'slight' joy killer, but very capable
Costs probably something around 40-60, would need to make lot of bowls for that
But little bigger lathe is probably not too expensive, also some tools might work with next lathe too if lucky and staying in same brand/branch machines, so investment to those is not wasted effort when moving to bigger lathe, but never knows how sick manufacturers are.
Have you tested polishing?
Found this site, don't know if you know it already or if that is any use for you, but it did look interesting when I browsed it from here and there, technical tips section seemed perhaps useful:

Re: woodturning
+1 to that
i can also operate industrial CNC lathe's and CNC mill's; but i've allways preferred the non-cnc machines.
it's a bit like precision vs fun; you think a lot more yourself if there's no computer doing the XYZ axle's for you..

Modern car vs old stuff 
I also prefer playing with windy lathes and mills over CNC, even though I have to do a lot of CAD stuff for work
