Help! I need ideas....

OK, so I've got a lathe that has been an awesome tool that's paid for itself a few times over, but now I''m stumped-I don't know what to make next.

Below gives an idea of what I've made so far (primarily bushings for my/friend's cars). Any ideas?

Thanks, CHM! I've got the 1st three items on your list-the others are interesting. Gonna have to find pics on that bearing remover/puller.

Also, the stuff I make doesn't have to be car stuff.

jjpark712, Hum, I'd have to consider it. It can be done-kinda expensive and you'd have to leave your ride for the day. You thinking Delrin?

Havoc-the lathe is a Harbor Freight 8x12. It's originally from a China/Taiwan manufacturer. I think there's only a few manufacturers of this product. This link is a great starting point as this guy reviews all equipment from the buyer standpoint... http://www.mini-lathe.com/Default.htm

PM'ed you, Crackhead!
