The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

sketchup can export 3d models in dae or stl.

my wall will look like yours ! Thank you !!!!

Hi there,
Have you tried to increase the speed of the lathe during recording?

It looks rad !
I just wondered if there is any specific reason why you divided the head in three instead of making one whole part ?

Hello, I have something about my diy lathe that I am really concerned about. So concerned that I tear it down once again to do everything from scratch in order to improve it.

Sorry you have to go through this....
Wish you all the best, opcode66..

Hopefully someone from SSLT got it and maybe scan it...well...who knows ?

Already $64 for 19 pages !!! kind of pricey and this is not finished yet !
Everything related to record lathe on ebay goes overpriced...
Talk about a dying art

(it is only 19 pages). For my part, I am ready to give to give some money to the highest bidder to h...

It seems this book has been written in the 50's.
