OK now, back to the topic at hand................... Lathes.

I'd say stop showing neat things we can add to our toolbox, but that is a good...

I don't have room. Something that size is a dream.

I have the vellum. Have a 36 inch t-square but no edge to run the t-square against....

Only problem I have. I'm not using a traditional drafting table. I'm using a teak dining room table. I need a drafting machine with longer arms than what...

I don't have one of these! I've seen you use this elsewhere. It's a must have. Added this to my Christmas list.

If anyone else wants one...

We are talking about lathes...

This post was flagged as spam. Bob corrected this for me. Although now when I look at the thread I don't see the pictures on two different computers....

I think I built the Mariln around 2011. Tom started following my build on RCG. Then he introduced me to David. I already knew Skip, since late 70's. Being...

And this is the salvage attempt which failed. As the tug was towing the boat, it immediately listed, rolled and sank in 45-50 of water.
