Hi all,
I'm a newbie who recently got my first face plate. I turned a shot glass out of a little piece of ash, which took forever to hollow with my scraper. At the flea market I picked up this for a buck:
Also, I'm moving my basement shop from a 13x12 room to a 13x19 (or 13x33 if I never get around to putting that wall in :o). I currently have a 10" belt-driven lathe with 36" bed bolted directly to studs in the basement. This seems to turn the sheet rock on the other side of the wall into a huge speaker. It gets quite noisy. I was thinking of of making a self-supporting stand for it out of 4x4 and weighing it down with my winter supply of sand/salt. This seems to be the cheapest and easiest solution. Any tips/plans?
TIA, Shawn
