Also if you hold the work in a chuck and the other end in a steady rest you can do it all in just the mill . do half then end for end and do the second half

It will take some slight modifications, like removing your tailstock on the legacy and using some time of object to hold the end of your stock. I small hole in the wall in my garage did it first, to hold my live center. Then latter I extended my rails. Mike added another lathe tail stock to his Wood Chuck. When there is a will, there is Always a way! ;-) C.A.G.

I think I saw some snow coming down today. I have a goal of being able to do 8’ posts in the future (not on my stock 900) but a 15’ post must be a sight to behold and a real bear to move around. I am not familiar with the previous generation models and their compatibility with the newer manual / driven mills. I am not sure what generation to call these since Legacy improved something it seemed almost every year for a while and came out with yet another model / package to offer.

I'm with you on the smell of burnt ............ I don't like it at all. Air exchange as well as a good filtered mask is a must. The Wood Chuck in the picture has one very important mod that was made by the owner. He took the 1 X 2 steel rail off the front and replaced it with a 2 X 2 That I am sure helped with a lot of the sway that would turn up in the big bladed cuts. The next model after the wood chuck was the Steely as we call them. They used square galvanized tubes to add strength. I still use my Woodchuck because I can do a lot more in the way of modifications when the center points are raised and not trapped between rails. I have done 15 foot posts and table bases with a diameter of 25" All the way down to roping a tooth pick.

Thanks in advance to everyone for sharing offering your experiences and helpful tips that a user group like this provides. To add a little input to the recent group conversations Bone Turning, I have turned some deer antler pens upon request which were well seasoned (dry) but there was a distinct smell like burnt skin / fingernail during the process. They came out well but it is not a medium I prefer to focus on. Lookout for used mills: I am always on the lookout for parts and accessories for my mill as I am sure most of you are. I do not need another (at least that what I have to keep telling myself) but in my searching, I did bump into this one if anyone wants to expand their capability. It is a little older but it appears to have a variety of gears as well as the manuals and instructional videos ( including a VHS player ) Legacy ( Woodchuck ) Ornamental Mill - tools - by owner - sale (craigslist.org) <https://hartford.craigslist.org/tls/d/belchertown-legacy-woodchuck-ornamental/7411703460.html> Jeff from Connecticut -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
