A great forum you guys have here, have spent a good while looking trough the different posts, finally time to ask for your help :wink:
I am looking for a lathe to make up some clocks, the finished diameter I am looking for is 18.5'' made up from 1'' red deal joined, I am thinking along the lines of a Wadkin BL150, is there anything else that would do the job as well I could be looking for?
I have done some wood turning in the past, but not at those dimensions and am a bit unsure as to how I would go about mounting the wood, basically it's a 18.5'' dia with a 10'' opening and all the turning on the front face and edges.
Any help there would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
