More time than money huh? Real wood lathes are not that expensive, ya know?

Like many other things in life, just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

Just a goofball looking for attention. I'd ignore him. Other than holding a chisel on top of a cinder block by hand, it's not that dangerous - more like just attention seeking.

I didn't mean it as you were wrong at all. I was agreeing with you. I actually think you were 100% right.
Mike Hawkins:yes:

I did almost the same thing with a 91 Ford car the nieghbor gave me. Except I welded two rims together and put it back on and locked up the other front tire so I would get full power from that wheel and then I ran the lathe with a belt off the extra rim. Now I have an actual wood lathe... works much better.....

Considering that on most mowers like that you can disconnect the blades....not sure what the danger is......

I think jeffnc has it nailed.......hence, I'm not impressed.

Can I have those 2 minutes back?
