Question For Poolewood Euro Owners

David Propst

>If any of you have an outboard rest I would really appreciate some pics of the set-up. Since it sounds as if getting one from Poolewood is probably out of the question I thought I might attempt to have one made.

I almost ordered one with my lathe in 2002 and waited, then I almost ordered one before I started nursing school and decided to wait. I have thought about it all year, and planned on ordering one as my graduation present. I guess I over waited too long!

Best Regards,

David

I have been turning wood for about 12 years now. I consume about 20 hours a week in front of the lathe making primarly bowls and platters. I keep thinking about making other "stuff" on the lathe, and ocasionaly I even get beyond the thinking part. But I take the most pleasure in bowls and platters. I have most every tool availble for the lathe but I am always looking for a new tool. More than looking for a new tool I am looking for a new hunk of wood. While a corner woodworker (sometimes called flat woodworker) can never have enough clamps, I find most woodturners can never have enough turning stock. The woodturning club I belong to has a Christmas party each year and part of that party is a "grab bag". We bring in a turning, that is judged by the people who come to the party. The people who make the top three turnings get prizes (like sandpaper or a tool). The real prize though is the exchange of turnings that comes from this colection of turnings. Some of my most cherished turned objects are the ones I have recieved from these grab bags.

>On another board there was some talk of poolewood going under, but it was explained they are redesigning their lathes and finding a new manufacturer. This may mean that it is not too late to get one from them. You might email them to see what the story is. MP Wall
