More turning projects from Steve Promo

Steve got a project to make a 10 foot long replacement post.  Luckily he has a lathe that can handle the work.  Here are some of his pictures from that project.-ajp2  2020_05_08

 First step was to make a smooth area in the center for the steady rest to ride on to support the work.

 This is a close up of the steady rest location trued up.

Moved the steady over to a finished section then reduce diameter at former steady rest location to the final size so the entire length has the same diameter.

Spindle tenons were turned at both ends and everything was sanded to 80 grit on the lathe.

 The finished post will not be able to replace the damaged piece.  (Again nice work Steve.-ajp2)
