This was my first attempt at outboard turning, really enjoyable, I would like to install an emergency stop button to my right though... This platter was made from some general cr@p I had knocking around the workshop, old chopping board etc... just sanded, clamped and a little Milliput in the grooves, finished with lacquer. 40cm diameter. Looking forward to even bigger attempts....

This was about a week after a freak snow storm caved my workshop roof in...oof
Sorry to hear that Adam - does the damage account for the light/ space around the lathe in the photo, or is it on wheels so you can bring it outside? I'd love to be able to do that. The workshop where mine sits has little natural light, and having fresh air would feel so much healthier.

Hi Chris, the damage to my roof was luckily on one side only... phew... As I don't have a dust collector and the weather here is fine most of the time... I've put the entire lathe on 6 heavy duty wheels, I love working outside, also the shavings are easy to disperse....
 
Hi Adam.

Very nice.🙌 Is that slate in the sandwich?
No it's.... from what i've read.....( i find this stuff up at the dump every now and again)..... it has a blue backing that can peel off, i think it's made from resin and recycled paper, it's used on planes and trains to construct cupboards etc... it turns and glues well..... i like to make lids out of it too....
