Well hopefully my last turnings on the old lathe as I will be going to Stile and Bates Saturday to buy a CL3 which should last me.

The first is a tea light made from Sapele and the second is a small hollow form from a Ash log

Derek.
Up to your usual standard mate.
Love the Ash!
The old duffers on here, have obviously forgotten the excitement and expectation involved with a new piece of kit.:funny:
Hope you enjoy the CL3.
Looking forward to what you produce on it!

Thank you all.

The Ash piece is 1 to 1.5mm thick except the bottom you can shine a light through it, the dark marks in the wood and not holes. It was a case of some very careful removal of material and the shavings are so fine.
Even though the new lathe is no different in physical size the power is more and I will be able to do larger bowls.
