I don’t know of this is a foolish question or not, but have you ever considered upgrading the saddle to something comfy?

They have turned out great Paul ,You have got a lot done in 40 hours. Super blog.

Looking forward to the end result..

Madts.

Brian, They are as comfortable as a kitchen chair and when I am cutting I kind of Zen out anyway but I do occasionally use a cushion if I’m cutting for long hours.

Great work Paul. I can almost see your students sitting on those new Chevalets already. Is the Delta lathe in the background a new addition?

Brian I did make my seat a bit wider thinking about comfort, but I’m not sure it was necessary. I like sitting directly on the plank because it is easy to slide forward or backward to suit and it is also easy to get off and on. That said, if I spent as much time on my Chevy as Paul does on his, I might very well appreciate having a cushion.

Mike,I’ve had the lathe since about 2004. That door is just about my first veneer work. It’s shop resawn zebra no and it killed a band saw blade. :-)

Great work. This batch looks like it has so much more hardware because of the portability, I would think it adds weight. Great that they are ambidextrous and break down for taking them to teach with you. Well done, I just wish I was closer and take a class, or as many as you are willing to give. Seriously, if you are ever east some time and teaching, sign me up.

Thorreain, Sorry all classes will be in my shop.

Oh well, keep up the great work anyway. Your skills are remarkable.

You’re really moving right along, Paul.
