Re: Why did you buy an ornamental mill?

2024-05-13 Thread Bob Mark 
I bought ine in mid 2000. I was and am an avid wood worker but never got into turning. So i saw a video and took the plunge. Am I good with it, No. Do i need to spend more time with it, Yes. I appreciate good equipment and  enjoy the little that I do use it.Sent from Bob Mark's iPadOn May 13, 2024, at 10:56 AM, M.W.Foscue  wrote:Mike,

was looking for a porch post that was too big for my lathe to handle and 
happened across a column and stair company downtown.  While I was 
waiting my turn, the customer ordered some balusters and also brought in 
a chair spindle to see if they could duplicate it.  The lady said no but 
I was standing behind the guy out of his sight shaking my head yes!  She 
said just a moment and took the spindle around the corner, I followed 
her and told her I could do that for her company.  She went back and 
told the guy yes and the relationship began before I ever said hello.  I 
noticed the balusters he purchased were pretty plain and asked Betty, 
after the customer was gone, if I added a rope pattern to the stock 
part, if she thought it would sell.  She said bring me one and we will 
see.  I ordered the Wood-Chuck that day and the rest is history.  I've 
watch the Legacy grow out of the Woodchuck as steel and then aluminum, 
then to CNC.  But I still hold on to the Woodchuck because of all the 
things I can do with it, you just can't with the Legacy red line.  My 
business was 80% based on the turning and roping and 20% on radius 
mill-work using the Woodchuck or the Williams and Hussy molder.  30 
years was a great run and now, looking back, the greatest twist that 
ever came from the ornamental world was the friends I have made.  Some 
friends have passed on and others are immortal but fellow sawdust 
chewers and customers alike have a huge place in my heart.  I found a 
Customer-friend-student to pass on my twisted ways to. Doug said to me 
when we first started the possibility of him taking the business, that 
he loved to see a piece of lumber and visualize what was in there.  I 
knew right then that he was going to be a great fit!  I'm a lucky man to 
have had the opportunities I have had.  I guess my secret is this, when 
asked "Could you do this?" My response is always "Absolutely!  Then I 
figure out how and smile at what I got myself into.  Never second guess, 
just get started.  I love this group because I see a lot of the same 
attitude.  I'm proud of you all!  I am always here if anyone needs 
help.  And will always be a LiLtwisted.

Hello All,

I thought I would toss this question out to hear why you bought your 
ornamental mill. For me, I bought my first machine when I wanted to 
bring a different level of details to my current work. I was in a real 
niche market that I wanted to do some woodworking "tricks" that few 
people could figure out how they were made.


How about you?
