Title: First lathe project (wobbler)
Post by: Bangkok Mick on April 19, 2013, 04:47:32 AM

Hi all,

Just completed my first project on my new lathe.

Runs well on a small fish tank compressor and also runs without a flywheel so I take that as a good sign.

Took about 25 hours to complete so won’t be offering my skills on an hourly bases any time soon.

Cheers Mick

Hi Mick.
That's a great little engine! Different. :bugeye:

So quiet, in the vid, I thought it wasn't running  :scratch:

That's a quality piece, for a first off. Got to be very proud of that!  :thumbup:  :clap: :clap:

Just think..... You can only improve.......  :D

Real fine job on that engine. From here on they get easier and/or more complicated. The nice part is that the enjoyment factor also increases as you continue to learn new skills. I look forward to seeing more of your projects as you get to them. Thanks for sharing this one with us.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
