    Introduction

    My name is Jon, I'm not an expert in anything except tinkering and learning new things from others.
    My intention is to stay busy, build stuff from scratch as much as possible, reuse old parts and pieces for my projects.

    Kinda looking right now.

    I'm interested in the usual guy stuff, fishing,hunting and so on, currently, I'm interested in learning how to use a metal/wood lathe,scroll saw, 14'' band saw and router. My intention is to build tools that I can from the experience of others that I need to help me create stuff for my friends and family. All tools are so expensive and I have a limited budget, so I'm building what I can.

    An example:
    I purchased a 1936 woodcraft table top wood lathe for $10 bucks and re-mounted the head and tail stock/tool rest to a wood base.

    I'm currently working on slicing wood logs length wise and carving/scrolling the fields with a scene that is relevant to the person or friend I would like to make something for

    I purchased a 1936 woodcraft table top wood lathe for $10 bucks and re-mounted the head and tail stock/tool rest to a wood base.

    So, that's all for the time being.

    Hi Jon,

    Welcome!

    Lots of tinkerers hereabouts, that's for sure!

    Nice to hear that you've given some new life to a vintage tool. I'd love to see pics of that '36 lathe in use…

    Ken
