Hi tom I remember looking at that http://www.whidbeyworks.com/root/MDF_Rose_Engine.html I think it’s the same one
Always meant to look into it. Thanks for the info for me anyway Bill From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com [mailto:legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Dotta Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2018 6:09 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: ornamental turning on a rose engine lathe video Hi Joe Curt Tim & Bill Your mention of ornamental machines and high costs, which are surely there for the best of the best which are so drop dead gorgeous and rare they justify the price if only to admire. I think of them as works of art surely on a par with some of the old masters which no one expects to do anything but be beautiful. I know from reading posts for several years that any of you guys are more than capable of making a functional ornamental lathe so let me give you the name of an ornamental turner who has a mission of bringing the satisfaction of ornamental work to the less than wealthy woodturner. I believe he not only has plans available but possibly some kits mostly made from low cost MDF that actually produce quality work. The gentleman is Jon Magill and his lathe design is generally known as the MDF Rose Engine. Some names of outstanding makers past and present makers Holtzapffel, Bower, Goyen, Evans, Made, Lindow, Newton Hope this helps Cheers Tom Dotta On Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 6:36 AM 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> wrote: Hello Joe. Awesome video. the Made lathe is most likely what you saw, https://madelathe.com/ This the lathe for the Kings! (Way above my price range!) https://lindowmachineworks.com/ Makes a cheaper model. (Not cheap, but cheaper then the Made lathe.) NEAT STUFF ! I am glad you are well. talk to your latter. C.A.G.

LOL... but then it occurred to me, will computer driven equipment make it obsolete?... what about 3D printers?, that are getting more sophisticated every day as well as more affordable to the general public... can either do what the rose engine lathe can do?... about the only thing I can think of, that a Legacy would have an advantage over any of those three methods(rose lathe, computer carving or 3D printing) is it's large capacity ability(and affordability!)... would love to find the time to explore a "rocking" type motion for the Legacy headstock and tailstock(in unison, of course)… but how to have a rocking motion and still have it connected to the gear train(and thus, the lead screw), is the dilemma... oh well, just some random thoughts today... hope everyone is doing well... been following the posts but just a bit hectic the past nine months or so... joe b. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
