I think he's turning 10' peppermills . That's an amazing bed extension. :icon_thum

Wow, when I first saw this thread I wondered if Alan had turned to the Dark Side :wwink:
That's one heck of a roughing gouge
I want to know how he gets a blank that big onto the lathe :eusa_thin:eusa_thin:eusa_thin

I like the way he "extended" the Powermatic!

As for getting it on the lathe, it appears hollow so it probably isn't "too" heavy to get up there.

Yeah, but I wouldn't want to be around if it came off... (Looks like he has a nice jog for holding it in place.)
