I have one special bit of long wood, that I keep especially for this job cos it is actually dead straight. It is only when you come to try and do this that you see how many bits of wood are not that straight!
It's a bit I have kept from an old kitchen cabinet that was presumably machined in a workshop. It is also covered in melamine which stops it warping. Sort of thing we all have, treasure and keep very safe!
Cheers!
Mornin folks.
Cold out but looking to clear up..
Must get cracking, giving one of the lads a lift in today.

Morning all, off to pick up more junk I have stashed at my parents house. Only 100 mile round trip today. Tis raining atm but hopefully clear when I leave! Have a great day!
A thou is good enough for general turning. The 3 jaw on cheap a lathe should be better than +5 but anything you turn should be concentric as long as you do it all from one setup. As soon as you remove it, it will not go back in concentric. Get a collet chuck, they are fairly inexpensive for a mini lathe and run within a thou. ER40 chuck has a 25mm capacity, good for most small bar work.@My Old Landy ...
Sorry to be such a noob..... but what tolerances are usually acceptable for turning general stuff?
I see "Doubleboost" on youtube has a 3-jaw on a lovely Boxford that he often uses rather than a 4-jaw.
I can get my 4-jaw down to 1thou' runout but my 3-jaw seems 5+
Not experienced enough to know what's generally acceptable; other than tighter tolerances = better.
Your advice is needed.
For precision on larger stock use the 4 jaw as it will get easier to clock in with practice.
I have finished my wiring in the workshop so once it is approved I can start creating stuff once more
Just getting light and it is not raining. I was looking at the projected forecast for next week and noticed some snow showers are on the menu. I must now make sure my freezers are as full as I can get them.
Enjoy your day folks but don't work too hard.
