So when are we going to get custom grips from you?? We can help you with the blanks and cork rings if needed..

Scott makes some totally awesome grips. Take a peak at some of the threads he's started. Top shelf work!!

If it wasn't on sale, $695. However, it was on sale for $595 plus an additional 20% clearance.

Not bad if only I had the space. I run a few engine lathes at work to bad they don't let me do anything else besides jobs for the company. Some day I'll get one haha

If I had the extra money and space, I would have had that 13x40 I posted a pic of on the first page. It was marked down to $1500.

waiting for you to get up and running so I can see your grips

Just picked up some bits last night. Might run a reel seat or 2 this weekend.

Wood chips were flying this morning.  Test run on an ugly block revealed the block wasn't so ugly after all.  This thing is soooo cool.  I need to get some acrylic in here now!

 

 

 

Time to go upstairs and install a new dishwasher.

Bench is assembled and lathe is in its final location.

Very nice. Me want one too.

Here's the whole wall. I need to install some overhead lights. It's a little dim in that corner.

There's a shop remodel in the works. I need to build another wall to separate the tool room from the laundry. Cork dust on clean clothes is not appreciated!!

Very Nice, Scott.

Love to see it. Or, maybe not. I've already spent more on my little shop than I originally thought I would.

 

Seeing yours could very well lead to a spending spree. LOL

There were a couple boxes waiting for me when I got home today.

Scott have you seen these yet? I've been wanting to get some and make grips for my bow or a rod grip.

OK.  Finally played with some acrylic.  This metal lathe is pretty fun!  BTW, the pictures were taken on my wood lathe after some polishing.

More fun!

It took me longer than that...

Scott, you are doing some seriously sick work.

Played around with some scraps tonight.

Scott, that is incredible!!!  You are working magic with that acrylic and lathe.  Before you know it, you'll be making yourself an acrylic pair of pants.
