Hi Everyone,
Well I had the surgery on my hand and it's feeling fine so I decided it was time to go outside and do some turning. Here we go:
Since this is a large, wide, and very heavy turning blank it merits a large faceplate. This one is from One Way faceplates, it's cast iron, and it weighs 8 pounds and has lots of screw holes. I decided to use the outer row of screw holes to minimize any wobbling of the blank as it spins. It's also mounted on what will be the top of the bowl and this is so I can turn the underside of the bowl first:
Now since my hand is getting a little painful, I'm going to stop and tomorrow I'll get some help mounting this on the lathe.
See you tomorrow.
