Using a metal lathe safely
WackoWolf replied to jpeghiny's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Using a 4 jaw check would have been a better option from the start. But like the person also said, it is best to think things out before hand, and if possible try and do it on a practice piece first, which he wasn't able to do with this project. Look on the web would also help in trying to figure out the best way, and then last but not least when you are not sure "ASK HERE OR ON THE WEB" and someone is sure to post the way to do it. The project in hand was not something that needed to be done right at the moment so you could have waited to see if someone would have replied back with an answer. It is good that you didn't get hurt with the first setup, someone must have been looking out for you. I have been lucky in the past with some thing I have done on a wood lathe, and later when I really look at the way I did it. I ask myself why did I take a chance doing it that way when I know better, but we all learn and sometime we learn the hard way. I been lucky in things I have done. -
Excellent tip,one I am sure most will want to remember I know I will. Thanks.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
