When trying to order tooling for a lathe, i see the term “lathe swing” a lot. Example: LATHE SWING 17″-48″
What does this mean?
i understood until u said: the head stock usually pivots so that the work will hang off the back of the lathe and not over the bed.
Can u explain to me what that means and what a head stock is?
Lathe swing is the diameter of the wood that can be turned. Ie: a 12″ swing means you can turn a bowl that has a 6″ radius and it will clear the bed of the lathe. When turning bowls or plates that are as large as you indicated, the head stock usually pivots so that the work will hang off the back of the lathe and not over the bed.
We have an old Victorian house has lathe and plaster walls, so for now until we can afford to start plaster walls and put up we have the wall paper. My kids blankets and accessories are from Ikea and are dark blue with the castle and dragon in his tracks. I I would be able to find something with castles on it, or even "build" a castle, but have had no luck … any suggestions?!
There an old house too. Strip the wallpaper off, (I took off seven layers) then paint the walls and large blocks. Go to flickr.com, click on the way to Narnia, find the theater, then click it. There's a picture of a children's room with a castle theme on it.

I would find the nearest dealer wood (no lumber yard) and check out the different prices, since it would probably be better off getting 4ft 4×4 4×4 is that they are only 3 and a half inches thick each way. You can still get a better price to buy these lengths of 8 feet and cut you yourself.If have trouble finding a supplier of wood, wood many yards will tell you who is your provider. good luck.
