Default What can you do with a lathe? You can't make spindles very fast

Make a few samples of spindles that you can't buy at the local borg.
Show them you can make these for contractors on an as needed basis.
Make a book of samples and take them into the borg where they can show
the unique styles you can make to their contractors and customers. Let
the borg know you can make custom replacements of broken items. Contact
a home builder who may be interested in a special design. Build
furniture for a local consignment store. Build furniture for a local
interior designer.

BTW, A Legacy comes with a design pad that helps you design the shapes
you need.


How long did it take you to become proficient with the Legacy and which
model do you own?
I emailed them for a DVD and find the whole concept enlightening though
there is little chance I could ever afford one.



I have a couple of 8' aluminum I beams. I have used them in router
jigs before. the idea of expanding on the legacy concept has some
appeal....
