Hi All

I have my shop ready. Had to rearange work benches and do some electrical wiring. Glued up two sets of blanks. I found by taking a thin pice of scrap and shaping to snug fit in the brass barrels I was able to glue the barrels in with very minal mess. Managed to turn two sets of blanks for practice. I must say for first time behind the lathe they came out not to bad. Not yet set up to do pictures will need to get a frend to help me with that!:usflag:

Congrats! It's a long slippery slope but it's a heck of a ride!
