Turning is the most interesting part of our shop. You can watch the automatic lathe for hours and still not believe it is doing what it does. We supply turnings for several distributors around the country. It's not a huge business but it pays it's way. The biggest advantage it gives us is the ability to add features to our cabinets that we may not have been able to do previously.
We supply all types of turnings including Kitchen posts, Newel posts with balusters. We can make templates for about any type of post you desire. One of the fun things we do is match historical turnings on many of the old homes and buildings from pioneer days. This video shows the milling attachment doing spiral routes on a turning. This post takes about 7 minutes to produce. The really great part is that we can duplicate the post to exact measurements every time.
That is so amazing to watch. I remember watching Grandpa out in his garage work for hours to turn the posts for my bed. You guys do excellent work!
