Went out around 1pm to turn a few pens. Get all set up and start turning a piece of african olive I believe. Half way through it and it happens. Took half the blank to the face, saved by glasses.
Setup a piece of african blackwood with sap. get to the point that I am about to shut off the lathe and go to make 1 last pass and you guess it. A catch on the end of the blank that revealed some of the tube. Decided to call it a day.
Went back out about an hour ago to try 1 more time. Overturned a piece of bocote on 1 end. Got so mad I wanted to rip the lathe apart. Don't know what the problem was today. I'll try again tomorrow.
