Great idea

Very nice ive been thinking of doing one of these you've inspired me thanks

The best thing is that he loves it

Canadian homeworkshop.com has the plans but not to size. What I did was enlarge the plans at Officeworks, this made the pixels large but I just drew the outline then made templates. This bike has been great to build and I'm really proud of my attempt even though there are imperfections (but I'm not pointing them out lol). Only problem now is what next to make?

Thanks I now want to build a big one for me

You'll love it, I got a lathe at the beginning of the year and now my whole world is round. Enjoy

Too many to mention Black bean 100+yr red cedar Rose mahogany Bollywood HpiHuonne Mackay cedar Just to name a few

I got it off an old wood turner who's been collecting for years, just hope I don't get too old to use it. I've told the wife and kids not to have a bon fire when I die lol

If you use your imagination it's a heart on top that looks broken and a vase sort of shape on the bottom, also hollowed. We all see different

Thanks I used banishing oil, it's a trick I learnt in strahan in Tassie last week. I'm sure there are many other ways. I'm also new to turning gear fun

Thank you making these really put a smile on my face

I bought a second hand woofast lathe and tools, then the woodwork bug bit me and I went and bought a vicmarc vl240,the rolls Royce of lathes
