Hello Everyone.
My intent is and always has been , to get the most out of the Legacy Ornamental
millI find it funny that the term Ornamental is such a huge field to study.
Holtzapffel's lathe, and the Rose Engine lathe along with many other OT
machines... all have there own versions of what is Ornamental turning.I think
the Legacy can do more... In many ways the Legacy has some huge advantages over
other machines that do O.T. work, but having said that, the Dis-advantages are
also present. Which makes it, a lot of fun. I mean, "How" can I do the same
things,Differently? ;-)
Joe I agree with you the pumping action is a very neat concept. and I think it
can be used on the Legacy? (but not in the same way the Rose lathe uses
it.)NEAT STUFF, Concepts that make my brain hurt at times. and keeps me up at
night. What possibility's... we have!
More latter.Have a good night, All.C.A.G.

I am starting a dedicated topic to this subject because this has the potential
to get very interesting as well as challenging, but it was inspired by curt's
find of a video on you tube of the rose engine lathe... that video is one of a
series of videos, dedicated to the rose engine lathe... and from my
perspective, a rose lathe is a high end ornamental lathe but working under very
close tolerances... certainly the tolerances are greater than what we would
work with when working with different wood species... but it is my
understanding that the rose lathe was used quite often in the watch industry,
thus the need for close tolerances...getting back to the video, it shows a
pumping action of the headstock on the "Y" axis, which is typical on a rose
lathe, as well as a pumping action on the "X" axis... the person who made the
videos, steve white, is obviously very much into doing mods on his lathes...and
what he has come up with is certainly very interesting, complex and just "off
the charts", as the saying goes...with variations and adjustments that would
seem endless... whether this type of pumping movement could be incorporated
into a legacy machine or not, is an interesting prospect... could it be done on
a legacy within the tolerances necessary to make it workable on a wooden
piece?...again, not sure... but worth a discussion here and possible
consideration... and certainly impressive is the "wave" set up that a number of
members to this group have set up on their legacy... but this pumping action
puts things on an entirely different level...and then comes the question, could
it be done somewhat cost effective?... or is it better to try to find a rose
engine lathe?...and what would that cost!... and how far does anyone want to
take their legacy to try to achieve "holtzapffel" status?, if that is even
possible...but even a holtzapffel did not have a pumping action in the
headstock, I believe(I might have to take a mulligan on that
statement!...LOL!)... anyway, if you are into this topic, I suggest you look at
steve white's series of videos(there seems to be at least 30 videos!) on the
mods he did to his rose lathe...very interesting videos...joe b.--
