I’ve been gluing up some oak 4 x 4’s and since I can’t turn them in my wood lathe I thought the metal lathe will work fine. Not exactly precision machining but hey, a fellow needs to have some variety.
Need to be a little creative with the tool post….
A few updates: After gluing up the head and foot boards I steam bent a top trim board (see the post here)Steam Bending, glued and clamped the assembly, and got started finishing.
