kgstakes Posted April 9 #1 Posted April 9 Back at the lathe working on another project. I’m basically a beginner at turning very small items but I’m getting there. Plans have more detail than what I can achieve but it looks good to me. It’s a start, and many more turnings to go to make this chair. Fun challenge anyway.

kgstakes Posted April 10 Author #2 Posted April 10 (edited) Little more progress on the chair turning on the taig lathe is fun but challenging. 🤣🤣 Edited April 10 by kgstakes Landlubber Mike, Charter33, Canute and 8 others 11

Javlin Posted April 20 #4 Posted April 20 That's interesting and crazy Canute, Old Collingwood and Jack12477 3
kgstakes Posted May 5 Author #5 Posted May 5 Doing some more turning. Been learning more about this little lathe. What possible to turn (wood wise) and not possible to turn. Most important thing I’ve learned is constant pressure on tool post and very very light cuts. Seems for every two I get right, I’ve trashed 4-5 pieces. Here is a picture of what I’ve got done so far. Have 4 more spindles to turn and they are the smallest ones. Then figure out where all the holes go for the tenons on the spindles. And not mess any up🤪🤪.

kgstakes Posted May 6 Author #6 Posted May 6 Started assembling sides are together druxey, wefalck, Jack12477 and 7 others 10
kgstakes Posted May 6 Author #7 Posted May 6 (edited) Test fit most of the pieces still have the small backrest pieces to turn. It’s coming out great, at least I think so for basically my first big ok small turning project. Edited May 6 by kgstakes Old Collingwood, Canute, Desertanimal and 6 others 7 2
kgstakes Posted May 19 Author #8 Posted May 19 Few more pieces done have just a few more and then glue up, put a finish on it and then start on seat cushion. Canute, Old Collingwood, Jack12477 and 5 others 6 2
kgstakes Posted May 22 Author #9 Posted May 22 Turning all done, chair glued up. Stain and finish next and then make the woven seat cushion. Old Collingwood, Charter33, Jack12477 and 9 others 7 5
kgstakes Posted May 25 Author #10 Posted May 25 Completed the spindle chair I've been working on. Had fun building it and turning all the turnings on the Taig lathe. Learned a lot about turning with this lathe and what not to do and what you can do with this lathe. Enjoy the pictures!! Jack12477, druxey, Old Collingwood and 10 others 8 5
