Been testing out some children's toys, made a car and truck out of some scrap, and made a alligator that chomps as it gets wheeled around.

Probably going to remake the wheels as there was a bit more tear out then I like

I just finished mounting this cute 80mm 3 jaw chuck on a W20 arbor for my lathe. The chuck is concentric to the arbor within 0.02mm which is not amazing but is better than the concentricity of the chuck itself so it’s fine.

Having it on an arbor is more convenient than a backplate and allows me to use it in my indexing head.

I also made the very badly finished chuck key pictured. I couldn’t be bothered to mill the square head so I just used a file.

heavy lathe

Did some wood turning last weekend and finally got around to applying some shellac.

This started off as a 6x6 beam of ash, that I turned into this vase. Originally had a bit more of a lip at the top but I delved too deep and it cracked so I shortened it.

Look What We Just Found! At Mudar-M, we recently discovered something incredibly massive: the world's largest lathe! Ever wonder how huge ships like the "Emma Maersk" are built? They require large machines to handle their massive parts. This lathe produces the propeller shaft for a cargo ship of 397 metres in length, 56 metres in width, and weighing 170,794 tonnes.Waldrich Siegen built this massive lathe, which is offered for sale! It measures 38 metres long and weighs 485.6 tonnes. It can handle workpieces weighing up to 330 tonnes. Here are some specifications. - Swing over bed: 4.87 metres. - Maximum turning diameter: 3000 mm - Maximum bore diameter: 350-1800 mm - Maximum workpiece length: 13,000 mm Spindle speed ranges from 60 to 2400 rpm.Imagine what incredible things you could construct with this.

I now own a lathe, but this lathe is without a name. Anyone got any good ideas?
