Lathing question.....

[whitmore]

What about a good old fashioned hacksaw? With a good blade the job would be done in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

And with a dull one, unless you want to start a new kerf, you just take longer. A less-than-sharp woodsaw
occupied my right arm for an hour and a half when bisecting a burl last month...

I have my die grinder and can be hell on wheels with that.....I will come up with something. Worse come to worse I can drive over to a friends shop and use his band saw.....

Only thing better than owning your own shop is having a good friend with one , or having one at work ! How did you make out with that shaft ?

I ordered the shaft and haven’t gotten it yet. Also, we are in Guam for the week just doing nothing! So I need to get home and sort through everything! These vacations are costly when I have access to the internet....my credit card tends to melt down!

My wife took me to Mexico last year. I hung around the pool, drank beer, ate and spent money on the internet.
When I got back to work it was like Christmas.

I always feel bad for our postal carrier...we have the mail held and then they deliver everything when we get home. They drive their own car and have to bring the items to the front door. One time I had to make 4 trips!
