I need a pro to show me how to use it properly, Cliff.
Initial chips and sawdust today.
I've never driven a Cadillac.

I felt the same way when I got the Oneway.
I started that bowl maybe a year ago and had to take it off the delta lathe because it just hopped around the shop.

Let us know how it behaves when you put a really big chunk of wood on it, say off the end of the bed.

Gonna be a long while before I get the bits to make that happen, @woodintyuuu keeps taking my money for small chunks of wood.

Bits? Do you mean chisels? One of my full size roughers would be great for that lathe.
No, I mean the outboard turning stand, tool rest extension, etc.
Finally got the forge fired up. Forged some hook tools for my pole lathe turning. These are made to turn bowls. Hope I can get another shot this weekend to try to turn another piece of mango wood!

I didn't get anywhere near as much done as I'd planned yesterday, between having to run errands, a machine with an attitude, and a few other issues this was all I produced......
A wonderful night of insomnia so I decided to go in to the shop this morning, been here since about 4:15 and already managed to turn a dozen and a half toothpick holders and drop my favorite water stone on the floor.....

I realized the other day that after a certain depth I lose all my overhead lighting. Problem solved! I mounted this LED light with pivoting heads and made it so it slides the length of the bed. It also measured perfect that my biggest piece I can swing clears it by over an inch.
I was getting really nervous and feel its terribly unsafe to do something blind that you should be able to see.

Good Lighting is a must! I got a light setup to my big lathe that has two goose neck heads on it I can move to where I need them.
Time to go home for the day. Worked on a few different things for some orders and also got these done for inventory.
Damn Colin you're a machine
