Default What can you do with a lathe? Do more with a legacy

Told you. There's books can tell you how to do it.

can you make it in less than a half an hour?

I'm not a production shop. I do woodworking for fun. So, why in
the name of the Seven Bouncing Hells would I care if I could do it in
half an hour, or not? I'd probably be slobbering over the thought of a
machine that could do something like that, if I did woodworking for a
significant, or total, part of my living. But, I don't, so I don't
care. However, if I did do it for a living, I'd probably already know
about it, and have one, passed on it already. or be saving for one.

Sure leaves a lot of free time to do other projects, instead of
"playing" on a project.

My woodworking IS play. I don't HAVE to stretch a 3 hour project
out to 3 days, but I often do. I could do the same quality work in the
3 hours, but if I did that all the time, that'd be work, not fun.
Getting paid for some of my stuff is just gravy.

Why don't you call for a DVD? snip

Because I don't wan' no steenkin' DVD.

I just know what is easy to use for the novice.

Sounds more like you're pimping for the company. Mention it once,
then if anyone's interested, they can check it out. Anything more than
that, it's annoying.

If it's that simple, it also sounds like it would get very boring,
very fast.

you can be distinct. To be distinct is to be different. To be different,
you must strive to be what no one else but you can be.
