Small turning job
« on: March 03, 2010, 07:37:47 pm »
Here's an example of one of the small jobs I took for years to keep the lights on and put food on the table. I've been turning these red cedar post for a friend with a sign company for almost twenty years. I bet I turned 700 of these. They take about fifteen minutes each

Man I have to get up to your place one day. Like Eddie said "Oh the possibilities" Grunt keep on the lookout for good straight grained posts that would make a bow.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Had a friend give me a 16' 4x4 post of straight grained IPE. I had to cut in in half to get it in my truck. I'm going over to a friend's shop as soon as the weather breaks to use his 4 hp bandsaw to resaw it so I can dry it out.
