Thanks! Les

Photos of the winning five? Les

So that you don't have to read it!...........

Sorry for the lack of clarity, If i go out board i can turn between centres saving myself 3 inches (no chuck) until i put on a tenon for chucking it. With a handle, as you said, i wont be able to get the centre out. Probably as clear as mud now! lol Les

Thanks Dick, That might be the answer, as i can still use mt centre in my chuck (can't I?) if i need it, plus, it's removable for ouboard work so i still have the depth for a bowl! Cheers, Les

Cheers Pete, nah mate, not thick!. I have the extension but i thought a wheel would help with swapping to the faceplate or the screw 'thingy' for bowls. A wheel looks a bit more user friendly so thought i would ask. I havn't been 'outside' yet, it's still early days. Les

My names Les and like to turn bowls - there i admit it! So i have a Tyme "Avon" lathe and I think it might benefit from a handwheel on the left of the headstock. I can move the switchgear out of the way but that end of the shaft has no threads or taper - What do you suggest (without spending)...
