Hard.And bonus brownie points for anyone who can name all of these wood types!
That's a lot of names. Might be some sycamore in there.African Mahogany, Birdseye Maple, Bocote, Bolivian Rosewood, Curly Maple, Goncalo Alves, Indian Ebony, Jatoba, Lacewood, Leopardwood, Padauk, Purpleheart, Redheart, and Zebrawood
These are correct.African (Honduran) Mahogany, Curly Maple (close enough), Padauk, Purpleheart,
Those all sound pretty hard to me. Reguardless, that is some nice woodworking there.These are correct.
Thanks. It was a small drawing table I made for my daughter a while ago which has been taken out of commission and I am about to repurpose.Those all sound pretty hard to me. Reguardless, that is some nice woodworking there.
No sycamore in here although quarter-sawn sycamore is one of my favorite woods to build with.That's a lot of names. Might be some sycamore in there.
paduak was my fav sculpting wood.These are correct.
The dust on a saw gets Absolutely Everywhere!!paduak was my fav sculpting wood.
Absolutely gorgeous. I recently inherited a machine for turning wood. I just need a place to put it and learn how to use it. Thank goodness for YouTube.
A lathe is an Amazing tool and one that I unfortunately do not have in my shop. I buy tools as I need them for projects (if needed more than a few times) and the style of woodworking I enjoy, which doesn't really incorporate a lathe.Absolutely gorgeous.

Heavy = qualityI don't know any details of the lathe itself other than its from the 80's and is very heavy. It was my "husband's" grandfathers and he was very much into wood working of all types. I have seen all types of things turned and I like them all. I would start with something really simple honestly but would think some candle holders would be fun to try.
i was just told it is a Rockwell 4 speed.
Can you post a quick pic?I don't know any details of the lathe itself other than its from the 80's and is very heavy.

I need all the advice you have to give. This I all new to me so thank you in advance . 46-111 is the model #. It's yellow. No pix at the moment, it's a bit buried. We're digging it out of the garage this weekend. There were some blades with it but I don't know the condition of them. I would prob buy new anyway just to be safe and keep the old ones safe until I learned how to use them correctly.Can you post a quick pic?
Rockwell made some nice cast iron.
If I may give some unsolicited advice, buy a set of Turner's tools with replaceable, carbide blades. (Rockler usually sells kits)
They make them in about every length and weight, most having multiple sides that can be rotated into a fresh side.
I used to mod over at Wood Talk Online and one of the main points of frustration with new Turner's and what made many quit before they got started, was trying to sharpen HSS tools. The Tools needed to sharpen correctly are SPENDY and that is an entire sperate discipline in and of itself that can take years to master. Carbide gets you cutting immediately, last a lot longer, and are versatile enough for Most experienced Turner's.
Nice piece of equipment there.I need all the advice you have to give. This I all new to me so thank you in advance . 46-111 is the model #. It's yellow. No pix at the moment, it's a bit buried.

Mount those in a place of reverence. Keep grandpas lathe tools. Grab a few newschool tools and keep his lathe going!I need all the advice you have to give.
