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) |

This is NOT a beginner project and I'm not recommending to anyone, but I found it very educational in terms of what good custom lathe work looks like.
