thanks for the comps backcast.
This is the first time turning. I spent 20 minutes at B&N looking at books on turning. I also watched rather closely while BM was spinning at PN1 and PN2
I have done some whittling here and there so I had an idea already. Plus for the last 8 years I have been making pinecars with the scouts so shaping a stationary block of pine has been burned into my head.
Wonder how an elcamino would do if it was through wired and laden with hooks...
Also, I found a complete press under my pops tool bench.
It has about 3" travel and about 12" clearance so I will need multiple bits.
