Lathe breakdown continued

Hi Everyone,

Well, Ive had to take the lathe out of the shop and into town to an authorized service center for Delta lathes for repair and Im worried  about all of this. Since I purchased the lathe, Delta has been sold to another company and according to Internet postings about this, their customer service has really deteriorated. I looked around for replacement switches for the lathe but everyplace I checked had backorders for them. I hope the service center can either locate a replacement switch or find a comparable switch for it. Theyll let me know in 10-14 days what will happen.

So its in the hands of the specialists.

Where once there was a lathe there is now only sawdust.

Sigh,

VW

Back to Lathe De volta ao Torno

Para fazer uma pausa num projecto grande que tenho em marcha fiz esta caneta, modelo Wall Street II, em madeira de Azinho. Há já algum tempo que não trabalhava com o torno de madeira, uma ferramenta formidável que tenho pena de não ter mais tempo para usar... Outras prioridades...

Taking a break from the "big" project Im currently working on I made this pen, Wall Street II model, in Holm-oak wood. Its been a while since I did some wood turning in my lathe, which is a great tool that I regret not having more time to use... Other priorities.... 

My first acrylic Pen - A minha primeira Caneta em acrilico

Ontem fiz uma caneta em madeira de azinho, essa caneta serviu de empurrão para realizar uma caneta em acrílico pela primeira vez. Tinha lido sobre a técnica e resolvi tentar!
Podem ver o resultado nas fotos. Para uma primeira caneta em acrílico, penso que correu muito bem!

Yesterday I made a pen of Holm-oak, this pen pushed me to make an acrylic pen for the first time. I had read about this technique and decided to give it a try!
You can see the end result in the pictures. For a first try, I think it is pretty awesome!
