So, I was given a lathe that had electrical problems.
I sorted those problems, and I am now looking for some simple projects so I can learn the machine. My first thought is to turn some clutch pulleys out of brass. Do you have other suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s) |

The horror technique was used on us in our teen years and effectively shocked us into a safety mode around machine tools. The instructor was a WW2 vet of military discipline,the values imparted by strict rules of operation. It is true some people have no business messing with them,at all.Case in point,a new guy tried to off himself twice in a few days. Untrained,unwary and ignorant of the first premises of self preservation,he was dismissed with a recommendation to a trade school. A shop coat caught in the lead screw of the lathe,panicked,screamed and was saved by me when I shut the spindle off. Next day,'forgot'to clamp the barfeeder and had the turret lathe hopping off the floor,he froze.
