If you click on your picture in photo bucket and then on the right last option is a tag line click on that and copy . Then in your post here just click and paste , no tags needed as photo bucket does that for you .

Bought a Perform CCL late about a year ago for my retirement
I turn both green wood and prepared blanks
Prefer to turn green as it cuts so well the only drawback is the distortion?

Hello Sooty, Welcome! ;D ;D ;D ;D
So, another pensioner, plus Dom, Senior and a few other oldies.
Can you post some pics of "green" stuff?
I have only turned very dry stock.

Very nice work!  When you turn it green, how long does it take to 'dry out' before you can finish it? |

Celt, not familiar with them. We tend to see the Jet here + few others which i think come from China and other unknown places.  The Jet is solidly built as opposed to some very "tinny" Eastern stuff. The chap i bought my lathe from (ZAR575), bought a new 'Eurasia' , he found it lightweight and had the cheek to want to buy his old one back from me. Needless to say i told him to take a very long trip to Never-land ;D ;D |

Hello, just joined up here but I'm a regular on an Australian forum which judging from some of the usernames on here is frequented by some of you blokes.
I have a lathe, the MC-1100 chinese clone, I'll post pictures in the other forum. I turn pens, bowls, goblets, eggs, vases and anything else that takes my fancy, look forward to having a chat.
HH.
