John Jordan ready to turn between centers on his S750

To work...

I wonder if he has any more blanks from that tree

Roughing it out. Please excuse the seriously cluttered shop.

Now it is on a faceplate but we'll keep the tailstock in for a while.

Hollowing... Note the home-brew boring bar. The second banjo is used to support the trap and because of the shape of the piece the boring bar is nearly perpendicular to the lathe bed -- not a problem on a Stubby.

The piece is now reversed on a jam/vacuum chuck to finish the bottom.

Someone forgot to tell Guilio Marcolongo that you can't turn spindles on a Stubby.

As we said...

Here is a 36" burl -- notice that Gullio has mounted banjos on both sides of the work.

A pretty good sized piece of kiln dried hard maple which when finished will be used to make...

fiberglass forms which will in turn be used to make...

concrete protective collars for fireplugs. OB O'Brien in Pensacola was responsible for this little project.

Mark Mandell taking a test drive on Larry Mamlet's machine. Under that pile of shavings is the auxiliary bed and second banjo which allow one to turn from the headstock side.

Now to the inside...

Between the auxiliary bed and two banjos you have lots of options you just don't have with any other machine.

Joe Moran's S750 with his 26" bowl; he is in Edina, Minnesota

Ken Ledeen's bowl -- he decided to try maxing out his S750...

He succeeded.

Ken (and his bowl) are in Concord MA.

Here's a closeup showing the clearances.
