Nice bowl too Andrew. Beautiful graining. Where'd you score that lumber?

This guy Mike, right in our backyard. He has a lot of these off species woods and many different sizes of bowl blanks and brush sized blanks.

Smithville yet. Maybe a fun road trip with the missez. She wants to hit St Jacobs this month so maybe in the fall.
Thanks for the link.

He also has all sorts of highly figured maple blanks for cheap.

If you go to St. Jacobs, make sure you hit both of the huge antique malls.

which one???

I have 2. Gramps left me a Rockwell with a 37" bed and a 12" swing that is at my Dad's. I have these guys Jumbo Jaw Sets - Lee Valley Tools for my chuck and can only use them on the big lathe. They allow me to clean up the bottom and top of the pieces withougt marking anything. I also have a Delta midi lathe in the basement that I freaking love and is what I use for my brushes. That sucker is so smooth. Nice thing is both have the same spindle so I can use all my chucks, face plates, and Morse tapers on both.

Andrew, might the Rockwell be a 45-450? perhaps a 46-450?
If so they are IMO the best of the best,I just did A total rebuild on mine.
