That is some serious fanciness Dan. I had a lathe but sold it many years ago when I moved. I did enjoy working on it. I love watching videos of the lathe masters in action.

Its a cheap table top lathe , i purchased it just to make the balsawood fishing bobbers but have gotten into other things . I enjoy turning and my wife does too which really surprised me .Originally Posted by Lodge Scent

Cool Camp, I wonder how they cut the lands back in them days? As a kid my dad's friend had a cannon setting on his lawn, when my dad went to visit him I would sit on it.

I have often wondered about that myself. Here is another look down a smooth bore:
The pens look cool Del, never tried tuning them, I been turning wood since I was about 14 or 15, started on my dad's ole Craftsman bench top lathe, here's a few pics of my turnings, grunt call, mason jar lid. I also turn bowls, candle holders, etc.

Those are cool hobbies guys. I like the down the barrel shots.
I've had a ton of different hobbies in my life. One of my favorites was being a Confederate CW Re-Enactor for 12 years before kids. I'd say this pic was taken about 1996. I'm the 1st one kneeling on the left by our flag. This was taken at Hammonasset State Park on a Sears & Robuck tripod camera circa 1890's.

Very cool! I never did any reenacting myself, but have been to numerous reenactments. By the way.. Your Charger is awesome. I had a 1968 Dodge R/T with a souped up 440 in it. Like a fool, I sold it.Those are cool hobbies guys. I like the down the barrel shots.

Yep. As I live in CT hardly any Rev ones here but lots in MA. I traveled to MA, RI, NY, NJ, PA & VA. I usually was gone 2x a month from April till Oct.
