Thanks everyone for their help. I took some sand paper 1000 grit and a file and sanded/filed down the groove in the quill. It now moves pretty freely. I think that the screw that sets in the...
Thanks Melvin. I actually took the locking bolt off and the screw that moves the quill in and out and tried sliding the quill in but it won’t go. If the quill is the problem I am looking at around...
I was drilling a pepper mill using the tail stock using a Jacobs chuck and drill bit in my 3520B tailstock and after I finished I wasn’t able to retract the quill. I took it completely out and tried...
I am talking about the 2", 3" or 4" side. I know I need to have different ones for the different compounds. I want something to buff the inside of bowls.
Just wondered if a 3" size would cover most...
I am looking at getting the bowl buffs for Christmas. For those who use these, do you find you use one of the sizes more than the others or do you need all 3 sizes?
Thanks,
Paul
A friend asked if I could turn a replacement stretcher for a chair. This is the one she gave me for a sample.
When I got it I realized it was octagonal.
Anyone have an idea how they did this?
The...
We are using BLO and medium CA. Good idea on the DNA or microwave. I think I'll use the DNA because I don't think my wife will let me use the microwave in our house. Maybe I'll take it to the work...
My son turns these celtic knot pens from ebony and holly. I recently purchased a block of ebony 3" x 3" x 12" from woodcraft and cut it up into pen blanks for him. I've used these blanks before...
I just purchased a 3520b used 5 years old and paid $2650. I also got the 18" extension bed, an index wheel and a dsut collector hood and stand for that price. I paid another $250 and got 3 chucks,...
I've been turning around 4 years using a Jet 1442. I've been happy with it but I've wanted to buy a Powermatic 3520b. I just couldn't justify spending that amount of money on a lathe. I just turn...
I turned these bottle stoppers for friends for gifts. They are in order of how I turned them going left to right.
The 1st one is sycamore. I was using a mandrel and thought the base of the mandrel...

I too have been turning on a 1442 for over 5 years and have turned bowls so big that they scrape the top of the ways when I first start turning. I have 6 bags of quickcrete on the lower shelf to help...
Yes this is what I was looking for. Thank both of you for sending it to me.
I am trying to find an article I saw on a web site, I think it was SMC but I'm not sure. It showed drawings of logs and then showed how to cut blanks out of the log. It also showed what the look of...
My Son made this from a real 50cal casing using the instructions that we found on the internet by Les Elm. The person that bought it wanted to know if it could be made with a pen clip. I've done...
The postman rang the door bell and we had a big box from Bill Bulloch. He sent my son, William, a huge box of cutoffs for his pen turning. William needed some holly and Bill filled the box with...
Thanks guys. I'll give them a try.
It is just the picture. It is Holly inlayed in the Ebony pen. Mother of Pearl would be great. William hasn't tried that but maybe we'll see if we can find some...
I tried Gilmer woods but they have a $100 minimum order. They had some very nice pieces of Holly but at this time I don't need $100 worth of wood.
Does anyone know a place that I can order 4/4 kiln dried Holly? I don't need much, maybe 1 board 3 to 4 inches wide by 2 feet long. My son makes pens from them so I want to take a board and cut it...
Here are a few of the pictures of items. I was mostly going to focus on bird house ornaments and pepper mills. I figure I have to sell between 80 to 100 items at an average cost of around $50 to get...
Thank so much for the information. I'll give Etsy a shot and also look around for a gallery although I live in a small area so there aren't a lot of options. There is a new art museum opening here...
I am considering selling some of my turnings with the goal of selling enough to upgrade from a Jed 1442 to a Powermatic 3520b. I am thinking about selling on Etsy and wondered if anyone has had any...
