I want one !!!! [] But I still need an automatic espresso machine too.
Very nice Ed.

Ed, I looked at their web site, what is the total for the whole set up, about 3,500.00 ?

 

[Ligget]

Anthony,

$2,600 for the basic machine plus another $200 or so for the table you'll have to build yourself and the Chinese made X-Y cross-slide plus quick-change tool post. Figure a good three grand with shipping. And, like everything else with our little obsessions, there will be lots of other attachments and gismos that you'll just have to have as time goes by. Here's some more stuff I made on this machine over the weekend:

Wow, Ed, that's really classy looking, and as always your pens have the nicest shape. The yoyos are nice, too! Do you actually have a design in mind when you start using that thing, or is it more of a morph as you go process?

lovely work Ed, are these designs unique to you, or are they on some sort of template..

A rose engine lathe works with "rosettes", where the pattern is transferred from the rosette to your piece through a very precise rotation and cutting action. If you'd like to see how the Lindow/White machine works, dial into these videos I made while in St Louis to pick up my RE lathe and to get some on the job training:

Beautiful! Was there a difference between turning a small size like the end of the pen vs. the larger yoyo?
