December 16, 201510 yr comment_63984 Had a slab of white oak, got it crosscut.. Well, this would get me two smaller slabs. Fired up the bandsaw behind the bench, and ripped a few blanks SLOW cutting. Finally got four of these things sitting on the bench That needed planed down a bit. Had to clear away a mess, too. SOMEWHERE there is a lathe under thar.... And even some DULL tools! Got one blank set up and ready... Then did a little playing around.. Nothing real fancy. Now, I just need three more. Walking around in ankle deep... Chips. Started having trouble with the old lathe. The pulley that drives the spur, well it kept trying to slide off the shaft, it would hit the motor and throw the belt off. Hammer to drive it back on....later, after it and I cool down, I will check out the set screws....if they are still there... Legs were for a table I'm building. I also need to find something to do with these leftovers.. They are about 20" long. Live edge, too. Book match? Yes, there are two slabs there. I really don't need these two, right now.... Maybe tomorrow, I can fit some aprons to the legs......we'll see.. Report
