Turning tenon by hand

[mightysmurf8201]

Turned my first tenon by hand on the wood lathe. Nerve wracking to say the least, but she fits nicely!

Welcome to the club! Exciting isn't it?

What tool did you use?

Good show!!! You must feel great!!!

Thanks guys.
Scottie, I used the easy start rougher with the following tip. This is where I get all my carbide tips for this tool.

I use him and Capt. Eddie Castilin. Both offer great deals for carbide!!!

Same tool I use. That's where I buy all my inserts. I haven't tried that one yet, but love all the others.

OK, I finally figured this shit out.

Manny bought one of these, named it "Woodrow"---calls it "Wood" for short---and pushed the start button with a finger on his "hand":

You guys are so gullible.

You've discovered my secret, George! Now everyone and their mother is going to be buying this machine and making "handcut tenons" for their hybrid/artisan/authentic pressed Mayan bog-briar pipes!

That's how I used to cut my tenons before I got a metal lathe. Once you get used to it it's not all that bad. It just takes time and patience. Nice job Manny.

Nice job, I don't do as well with my little lathe.
I am interested in your collet chuck, can you tell me about it?
Thanks, DocAitch

Looks like a standard ER32 collet chuck. They are commonly available.

ER system is very good for work holding if you are using non-standard material sizes. I have an ER40 chuck that I made for my lathe, superb bit of kit and worth every penny and more.

+1. I have one and use it in both headstock and tailstock.

This here is what I have. Individual collets can be found on ebay or amazon for pretty cheap.
