Al brass steel wood... No material limits really - just lighter cuts.

Cool, then in the next several week I'll start looking for someone to teach me the Lathe.  Thanks for the heads up.

heh I want Cribbage Pegs... :)  and I don't wanna pay what they will cost me if i buy them made... 

and honestly i think it's a good excuse to learn the lathe.

Would be a good way to learn on the lathe. Small project that could be done in metal or fancy wood.

I am interested in lathe for light metal work also.  Any chance this could be a group thing?  Each person doing their own items wouldn't be practical but I would like to just come and watch the process to pick up tips.  I have been doing a bunch of reading but seeing it done and getting some pointers would be great.

[Keith Rogers]

If there's interest I can come down and do a demo on a Friday evening or some Sat or sun.  I'm not sure on the current condition of the lathe but can bring my demo unit.

Looks like Saturday is the day of the move of these tools. I could make it there Saturday afternoon/evening but am wondering about conflicts with the move.

[Frank Kallal]

It's a good Point...   I'm not in a huge Hurry, so lets push off a week or two to let the dust settle.

Agreed, it looks like Saturday would be risky.  If anyone would like a personal demo, I have the Taig micro lathe setup in my home workshop and do demonstrations by appointment, usually week nights or weekends.  I'm a dealer for the company (Taig Tools) that makes the micro lathe.  Contact me via email directly if interested.  Meanwhile, we can shoot for one or two weeks out for a group demo.  -Keith

Schedules are tight the next couple of weekends.  I can do this Sunday at 10am if that works for anyone?

[Keith Rogers]

I'm betting this Sunday is booked with Easter plans for most, so how about we shoot for 4/9 or 4/10.  I can make one of those mornings work.  Let me know!  -Keith

[Frank Kallal]

4/9 is probably good for me personally.

[Jacob Francois]

Hey Guys, I would love to participate in a demo on the mini lathe if you are doing it any time sat.

[Jim S]

I should be able to do April 9 or 10.  Prefer not the 9th around 4 - 7 PM  but could probably shift things around to do that time too if that's what works for others...

[Keith Rogers]

How does 4/9 at 10am work?

Ok, it's on my calendar (Taig lathe demo, 4/9 at 10am to 12pm).  Can we add to the site calendar?

Keith,

You can just invite the AR Calendar to your event.  The calendar email address is stickied in the sanctum.

Frank - Thanks for adding that.. I have been on travel and hadn't gotten around to it.  Does anyone know the condition of the lathe at the shop?  Are the accessories pretty much there and the whole thing with access to power?  -Keith
