Hi everyone,
A couple of years ago someone asked me if I would help him to turn square pen blanks into round, he had no turning lathe or tools apart from an electric drill and a few odds and ends.
This what I put together as a prototype only, so that I could take some pics to send him, I just knew that explaining only, wouldn't do the job so, this is what I made up as an example of what to do for a lathe...!
And for the cutting gouges/chisels...???, he asked...!!!
Everyone has broken/damaged screw bits and old small sockets, that will do, I said...!
Here is a set that I made long ago, to demonstrated what to do to use these "bits" instead of throwing them in the bin...!
Now, who said that could not be done...???:wink::biggrin:
Seriously, not something that I would like to use every day but, works...!
Cheers
George
