    12x36 lathe

    My first lathe, the one with 20” between centers, had a 7/8” bore. I took the head stock apart and deduce I could bore it to 1.125. Which was enough to do joint work. So I braised a piece of carbide to a piece of pipe and bored the hole. Worked pretty well. Larry

    John Nemec

    Correct, John goes by Everglade here on AZ. A pm would be the best way to contact him. He generally doesn't answer his phone unless he recognizes the number. Just this week he was moving. Might take some time till he has his new shop set up. Good news is he is planning on building more cues...

    Triangle and Triumph Tips

    Thanks for taking the time to do this. The test tips I tried were excellent. I am so looking forward to getting good triangles again. They used to be my favorite.
