Woburn Show

I've been commissioned to make a medieval 3-legged stool and decided to make the parts at the show from the Knebworth Ash.

Like this.

A mistake really as what should have taken less than a day has actually taken two, what with all the interruptions and distractions.


 At least I was being paid to do something I'm being paid for because sales aren't exactly booming at the moment. 

Vanessa's getting fed up with being Head of Sales so we're training up a new assistant...

Those beseeching eyes should do the trick... we could probably end up selling loads of dogs!

JET 708352 JWL-1236 Woodworking Lathe, 12-Inch Swing 3/4 HP 115-Volt 1-Phase Right now


Over All Rating Reviews :

I'm a square wood type of woodworker. I'd never put a tool to a spinning piece of lumber, but had always wanted to try. When the Jet 12" went on sale, I couldn't resist the temptation. Just like all the rest of my Jet tools, it went together in a snap, and was built the way that my table saw and jointer are.., extremely solid. Even for a novice woodturner, the machine performed well. Within minutes after set-up, I was turning, and with halfway decent results (not the machines fault, the operator was the only downfall). All of the advertised features were easy and convenient to use. When comparison shopping against Grizzly and Delta, the Jet came up on top again. Jet includes more bang for your buck.

The review got 4 stars only because I haven't had the opportunity to try any other lathes. If my girlfriend had rated it, the results would have been much worse. She hasn't seen much of me since I started making shavings on my most recent Jet pu rchase. Kudos Jet!
