    In all the years I've had a lathe I've never made a top... After this I'll have to rectify that! Thanks mate.

    Nice, I don’t turn but love to watch. They came out real nice

      Thank you! I enjoy turning, it's sometimes frustrating because you can ruin something really quickly but then other times things just work out.
      During this video, I had made and screwed up 5 or 6 tops because of the wood being bad inside or catches.

      Thank you! Have you ever made a top? Curious what tools you preferred to use.

    That’s a sharp looking lathe! That fiber turned down quickly. Nicely done!

      It's an old Rockwell Beaver lathe from maybe the 70's. Thanks for watching!

    Great job! If i ever get a lathe I'm going to make my son some tops for sure!

      Keep an eye out for some of the older lathes, I paid $150 for this one.
      But then you will start to collect more and more tools, and every chunk of wood "could" be used for something on the lathe 😆

      @@heyimamaker my dad offered to give me his shop Smith (which of course has a lathe) but i don't have space for it at the moment. One day when i build a real shop then I'll get a lathe 😎

    Hello my friend. I love wood turning work. nice to watch you. A vertex flip was successful. Congratulations. I'm thinking of buying a lathe in the future. I watched you with admiration. Thank you. Great greetings. Warm embrace. Yours truly...

      A few years now, but not as often as I would like. I only recently purchased a sharpening jig that really helped me get better results.
