portable lathe stand

This is my rolling stand for my delta. Its 32 x 16 and 27 1/2 tall.[ I’m short]. It has 2 small drawers on top and 1 large drawer below to accommodate my tools. Locking wheels that really hold. This allows me to move it around my small shop and even work off the end when hollowing large vessels. This has worked very well for me and even took it to a demo. Hope this helps may give you an idea or two.

Winged Tabletop Tiki Torch

This is my idea about a winged light for getting a little romance to the table.
Made out of Cherry, Sapele and an insert out of stainless steel.
Tuned on a cheap lathe, only using a glue block and a jam chuck.

Natural side winged tea light holder

This is a piece of citrus wood. Left the sides natural. The limb was about 3″ in diameter and about 6″ long. Mounted on a faceplate and turned a socket on the bottom and did a little shaping. Turned it around and mounted on the chuck. Turned the recess for the candle and shaped the wings. Flipped back around finished the bottom the checks started showing up. Filled with ca did a little sanding then hand rubbed some ca on it for finish gives it a rustic feel.

Thanks,
Glen

cherry burl bowl

I’m 15 and got the piece of wood from a neighbor of mine who was going to burn it, it was already split so it was hard to get a good sized bowl out of solid wood so it does have some major voids but it came out much nicer then I had expected.
