Hi All,
It has been a while since I have posted to this forum. A lot can happen in a few months. Anyway I have a new Jet 1014 Mini Lathe with a bed extension. I have turned a few things on it and I am getting better.
My Project here is a FIre Piston made from some wood my neighbor gave me. He said it was rosewood but it does not look like rosewood to me. Anyone want to take a stab at identifying this wood.
For the Fire Piston itself, I used a brass tube kit made by Emil Banks (EBPrimitives) and purchased on Ebay. His kits are awesome and his Fire Pistons are the most reliable I have used.
Please let me know what you think. Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
