I have the Kelton Hollowing Rig with Laser and use it with the Kelton Hollowers and other tools that are 5/8" or 3/4" in shaft size. This rig is very sturdy, easy to use and has no problem going to...
Does anyone know of any Youtube videos on using a shell lamp auger? I just purchased a shell lamp auger, but don't know how to use it.
Does anyone have experience using the Kelton Hollowing Rig? Is there a DVD out there showing how to use this system? Thanks in advance for any help.
Watch the enclosed DVD several times and then proceed with a simple project at first until the system works well for you.
The best views of the Falls is on the Canadian side, but you will need a passport or enhanced driver's license to cross into Canada.
I would strongly suggest that you join a local area woodturning club and also get yourself a mentor.
We have in the Buffalo, NY area a store called "$.99 Store" and they have available these small lasers that take three small batteries and they cost only $.99. I don't even bother changing the...
I have an older WC 8" slow speed grinder, you know the ones with a rear dust port. The newer models don't have a dust port and are really messy when the wheels are trued up. If I really wanted the...
I have Don Geiger's Wheel Truing Solution and it is some of the best money I have ever spent. His system is so much easier to use than the Oneway system. Nice clean round wheels makes grinding and...
Hello Josh:
From the limited amount of information that you have provided us I have to make some assumptions which is a dangerous thing for me to do so correct me if I am wrong.

Fantastic! And great form and really great wood too.

I have two Ellsworth Bowl Gouges, the original by Crown and the on by Henry Taylor. There is no comparison between the two, the original Crown is by far the best. You can feel the quality when in use...
David, I too have both the Oneway wheel dressing jig and Don Geiger's wheel dresser. Don's is far and away the best and easy to use.
This looks just like Iron's Tool Gate, inveneted by Phil Irons. You can see more info at http://woodworker.com/irons-tool-gate-1-post-mssu-130-805.asp?search=irons%20tool%20gate&searchmode=2
Did anyone ever hear of a light touch when sharpening on a grinding wheel? I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but common sense does come into play here. I know that we all seem to learn from our...
I have used Baltic Birch Plywood for glue blocks for many years. I use Titebond 2 or 3 and stack 2 to 4 layers of 3/4" to make up my glue blocks. I have never had a problem with these. I have had...

I am not a big fan of Griz lathes. Remember the old addage, you get what you pay for. In this case it might even be less, just my opinion after turning on some of these lathes. I don't mean to be a...
Both David Ellsworth and Lyle Jamieson have excellent videos on this type of gouge. I also believe that the AAW has some info too.
Roy and Others: This is an excellent source of information regarding turning speeds.

I love those blue sanding discs, they last forever or at least seem to. These are the only sanding discs that I have used for the last three years. Be sure to get the arbor pad too from Vince's,...
