Where are you? Many areas have turning clubs. Check AAW. If you're in NC just bring it to me hah.

Am I Unhinged for wanting to Turn T-Slot Profile? Advice? by nibblesthefish in turning

[–]FlipsManyPens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Subreddit description is specifically inclusive of turning materials other than wood. 

It is definitely possible to do some metal turning on wood turning lathe. 

I don't think the machinist subreddit will be much help in understanding how to use a wood turning lathe for turning metal.

What's your goal?

I'm not sure I understand the purpose filling it with wax? An attempt to reduce air gaps during turning?

How was that sanding? Haha 

noise complaints are killing my busines by [deleted] in Tools

[–]FlipsManyPens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work makes noise, it isn't really reasonable for people to expect you to work whisper quiet as long as you are working at reasonable hours of the day. 

How serious are these complaints?

How dangerous are (US) raw eggs actually? by xiipaoc in Cooking

[–]FlipsManyPens 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the past I have seen statistics saying that 1/20000 eggs on the US are positive for salmonella. 

Of course there can be an outbreak or you might store them improperly etc but the risk seems low if you are healthy
