I tried pure beeswax on these an buffed them with an old T-shirt but they feel sticky. I think I will burnish them with shavings, again, and see what they look like. I have some Hampshire Sheen wax that might be better. My predicament now is how to reverse chuck them, to finish the bottoms. The entry holes are not identical in diameter. Thinking on making an expandable piece to fit into the holes The piece will need to be adjustable to take care of the minor variations in diameter. Safe turning

I ordered this lathe a couple of months ago. Rikon was having supply chain issues. I believe this lathe has been unavailable for a year or more. Didn't take long to set it up. The semi driver couldn't get up my driveway so I took the truck down and loaded it up. That actually turned out to be a big advantage because I could slide the lathe out and onto the legs without having to lift it. I'm sure I'll feel it a little tomorrow but it wasn't bad at all. I tinkered with it a bit but it'll be tomorrow before I really give it a workout.

I don't know how many of you have seen this. I found this today while looking for something else. I wish I could do this with my Shopsmith. I love it, but the price, I am buying a new Kubota ZTC mower for that much money. https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/rikon-sliding-bed-lathe.aspx
