Great to hear that you have got a lathe!

I assume you are talking about a faceplate? If so, you simply screw it onto the wood using the holes, if you don't want to screw it directly to the wood you are turning you can always use glue, to attach it to a waste block of wood, hot glue or epoxy works well. Hope I am answering the question you had here, Alex.

I am impressed, and inspired how you made something very nice out of something of little value. can you tell me, how often do you sharpen your tools. I tried to turn some black walnut, and found it to be a bit hard to work with.

I try to sharpen them most times I use them sometimes even more. For somthing like walnut it can be tough on the tools so it will require a more regular sharpen often just a quick touchup with a diamond card will do the trick.

[riverrat2293]

the centering pin it has the part that holds the wood on center how do you get that part of to screw the face plate on to the threads

I agree on the tool sharpening comments,, my sharpening system is immediately behind me and it's not unusual for me to turn round every minute or so and just brighten the edge of the tool I'm using, especially if I'm turning wet green wood or very hard wood. It makes the whole woodturning task so much easier and more accurate especially when you're down to the final shaping.

@TeenWoodworker : i think that riverrat2293 don't know how to attach the faceplate to lathe

@psalms150ish hi sharpen your tools every time you use them. it is much better to touch up a sharp tool than to regrind a blunt one. walnut it is loverly to turn and only has a slight blunting afecct on edges. depending on what your turning a touch up every 20 mins or so should be ample. if turning some thing like puple heart or iroko every as much as every 10mins might be needed. just depends how abrasive the timber is and how good your tools are. hope this helps

I am surprised that you had a hard time turning black walnut. I use walnut a lot in my projects and I find it one of the easiest woods to work with. I guess I am a bit obsessive about working with sharp tools. I make sure they are razor sharp before I start turning and I hone them on a strop several times during the turning process. The walnut usually floats off my chisels in whispy ribbons. I wish you better luck in the future as walnut is a beautiful wood.
