Turning into a bodger!

[Gary Elson]

Hi folks
Well the pole lathe is finished (took a bit longer than I had expected) something called the “bushmoot” got in the way
And I’ve turned my first item.......


..... it’s a garden dibber from sycamore graduated in inches or units of 25.4mm if you prefer any way my wife loves it .
I think a dibber is a sort of right of passage for bodgers (it may even be the law that you have turn this first
Thanks for looking
Gary

Fantastic!!!

Now you need to fit an electric motor with an ‘eccentric drive’ and it is complete!

My wife would say the bloke driving it is eccentric enough

That's a neat design Gary, don't think I've ever seen that configuration of bungees and pole.

Hi
Bit of an amalgamation but it does allow me to disassemble quickly etc etc

That lathe looks pretty damned good! Beware - pole lathe turning is highly addictive. I shall look forward to seeing what else you make.

The pole lathe looks great. Happy turnings.
