Looks like we might have to opportunity to help a deserving family for Christmas! Our Patriot Turners- @AndrewB updated us on his new lathe purchase. Really nice lathe stand for his new Jet.

This picture is how I copy something. Probably every one already does this but I have seen guys having to pick up things then hold them close to the turning then lay it back down then turn the lathe back on to continue and that seems to take too much time???? But I admit I know nothing about running a lathe

Ok, I know I am missing something here so I am going to ask the collective. What is the trick to turning two things that match? Earlier this week I turned a couple pegs for the patio chair I am working on and those went pretty well. They are within a couple hundredth of each other and there are no real curves to them as they need to contact the back in a level manner. Fast forward to doing a couple of shaker style pegs for the bottom of the back assembly. I cannot get these to match. After a couple days this is as good as it gets. I can see the difference but I don’t understand how with the same marking layout they can be so far from each other. The domes just aren’t the same curvature even though they are the same diameter and height, one is much flatter than the other. Is there a trick to getting these similar or do I just need to chuck them up and spend a couple hours trying to sand them to the same profile?

Typical August weather here this week and it's expected to get hotter as the week goes on. Good excuse to spend time in the basement shop.

Maybe there is a calling for recreating spindles. Another friend needed a spindle so I made him a couple to choose one from. One is Maple and the other is Oak. Need to get them in the mail to him. Left the ends on again. They make nice handles when finishing.

the leg was busted up too much and I could turn another one quicker than four or five times gluing all the pieces in. And will be stronger.. Piece of oak been stored in the shop for almost 20 years.. It was 3" x 3" and now after turning it down I noticed some weather cracks... Good ole oak , uck I'll probably run some 1/2 or 5/8" dowels cross those cracks.....before I put the chair back together
