lathe time lapse

I broke out the lathe this morning and had some fun turning a block of wood I salvaged out of some firewood from earlier this year… click on the link to check out the timelapse video.

  • Hey - I'm glad to see that you got the lathe out... just a quick tip... when you're rounding, you can allow the back of the gouge to ride on the piece. If it isn't round, the gouge will bounce. It saves time starting and stopping the lathe to check your progress.
    It always amazes me how well even a crummy piece of firewood turns out. A great woodpile project for next time is a mallet for setting drive centers and such.

    Steve,
    I really like your time lapse videos. Someone posted a link to them on the Home Shop Machinist metalworking site. Could you post a brief description of how you set up your camera to do the time lapse recording and perhaps a quick note on how the editing was done? I assume you're using some of that good Mac software. (Apple rocks!).
    Thanks for sharing your videos.
