Hi Cole, Wanna bet? Maybe I simply think too much, but there are a lot of woodturners that don't understand what a legacy can do and don't accept items that where turned on a legacy as true skill. We all know it takes skill to run the Legacy and it's a thinking mans machine. So, I have as a general rule kept the two disciplines separate for a long time.
In this group, I thought it was unfair to mention using a lathe to prepare stock for use on the legacy or in many cases, show using a legacy to prepare the stock for the lathe. So yes, I have held back things in the past. Even now as I'm kicking the tires in public I see that I was really wrong to do this. I really like tossing an idea out there and seeing someone else run with the ball when I can't. It's great to see my idea work out even if I'm not the guy doing the work. I've really enjoyed helping other do something that they thought was well out of their own range. Thanks Sanat, you really made a great point, we are all pretty clever guys and we will find a way around problems to meet the end results.

Whatever inspiration you have is welcome . That is how we learn from others. Personally , I have a hard time telling you which I enjoy more learning or passing that skill forward. It's like climbing a mountain that you didn't know you'd ever climb or seeing your pupil do it.

But, please do not hold up projects because some of us do not own the equipment... we will either not build it, work around the need or justify the need and purchase one... it is unfair for those that already own a lathe not to see other projects that might include a lathe or other tools. I tend to be quiet so I do not write much (Cancer - the crab type) but i do enjoy everyone's work and the pictures. Right now, I am living in a fixer-upper home that literally cost the price of a used car, so I do not spend as much time with the doing of what I would like to be doing as I spend with the things I need to be doing... but i am reaching a point where the wanna be doing is coming up... because the gotta be doings are just about finished. regards to all Sanat On 12/6/2010 5:23 PM, Tim Krause wrote: Hello All, Is it a safe bet to say that most of us that own a Legacy also own a traditional lathe? I want to hear from the exceptions to the rule to figure out if it is safe to add a lathe requirement to a few projects that I would like to show here. -Tim -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
