Title: G'day
Post by: HappyBill on February 15, 2013, 11:34:10 PM

Hello,

Amazing set of smiley faces - well done somebody

Retired Aussie with a shed and a Triton

Just built a drum sander and currently building a small lathe as per shopnotes maganzine

Wondering if I have the oomph to build a Gingery Lathe next. Seems a bit daunting but slowly slowly step by step.

Found this forum after seeing references in other forums

Many Gingery folk out there  ?

Hi Bill  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

One of our new members (VTsteam) did an amazing job on a Gingery. He has a thread about it HERE (http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,8191.0.html). I have seen plans for a concrete lathe out there as well. (found IT (http://makeprojects.com/Project/The+Multimachine+$150,+12-Inch+Swing,+Metal+Lathe-Mill-Drill/1751/1)

Now when you say Triton... are we talking Triumph powered Norton?

Hi Happy Bill, Welcome.

Brass: If as I suspect Happy Bill is from Victoria Australia (Suggested by the term 'G'Day') Then the Triton he refers to would be a wood working invention made here in OZ that allows you to use your power circular wood saw as a table or cross cut saw. It also had adaptions for routers. Sadly Triton are now out of business as far as I know. I had the Mk3 Triton.
