enjoy the tools but that's a marvelous truck! (y)

I'm amazed that guy you bought the Rikon wood lathe from didn't have a fire in his shop.
do you have a dust collection system for it?

I was also, seemed a bit silly
He had poly etc all over lathe so that adds to the hazard

I do have DC set up, I need a chuck to get myself operational

Dust collection on a lathe is quite a challenge. If you make something big enough to catch chips from longer pieces, then the face velocity is so low that only stuff that shoots directly into it will get sucked up. You can try, but your best bet is to sweep up after you are done, and wear a respirator, especially if it is something that be be troublesome to breathe.

that makes sense, if velocity was high enough to cover that whole area would likely
suck in things you don't want...plus be seriously noisy

Well I decided I wanted to make a hook to hang my binoculars on.

3 hrs of fun to make a 3$ hook. The wife just shook her head.




The little terror is also doing well

Lost my damn chair to the 3 of them
Nothing that a nerf gun or squirt gun can't handle. My kitty scrams whenever she sees me getting the blue air line out to air up something. a blast of compressed air keeps her far away.
