Hello Everyone.
I've been working in the shop today, Lots of "Saw Dust Therapy" but by a
strange twist of luck I found out something that some here may like to know.
I picked up an Old AMT wood lathe for a friend on mine. who wants to learn
how to turn wood. The AMT is a solidly made machine, the only thing wrong with
it as far as I can see is the headstock, has a 3/4-16 threaded shaft adaptor,
with out a #1 or #2 MT.
To make a long story shorter. I was making some face plates and other parts
for this lathe . I found out that a 3/8" pipe coupling has the exact thread as
a 3/4-16 tap. I did not need to chase the threads at all with this coupling,
the threads matched ... I know you can still buy faceplates and other 3/4-16
parts, but knowing that 3/8" pipe fittings have the same thread can be a very
easy make! (Think of it a useless trivia that may come in handy someday.) ;-)
I also found a lot of green wood (Tree clippings form a urban tree removal)
I picked up some birch, and choke cherry limbs 3"-5" dia. So I've been playing
about with some lathe and Legacy turning's today. If you have not heard me say
it before, "Green Wood is Fun!" (it cuts so easy!) "Dry wood is WORK". IS
SO TRUE! "Boy" I had a good time today.
LOT of Fun !~ ;-) Here's some of my things that I made today. C.A.G. --
