    Brian, I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, but why bother? It looks like wood to me.

    Unless the void is large or deep enough to cause stability problems, I'd leave it. It's a nice reminder...

    As Robert, Pedro, and others have intimated, "straight" only exists in theory. Much like (perfect) circles don't exist outside an equation, (perfect) straightness only exists as a vector between two...

    In general I want to upload my photos once and use them in multiple places.

    Yeah, I messed up the first 1/2 revolution of the first spindle thread (I have the same lathe as you) by not backing the grub screw out enough when removing the chuck. Had to break out the dremel and...

    Sorry for the detour above.

    Let me echo Sam. I think it's a good idea too.

    Ken,

    I can't, of course, govern your expectations, but in your use of the term "cheap shot" I think you took offense where none was intended. My post had nothing to do with mods as people (so...

    I've tried organizing a local SMC get-together before and my thread got moved to the off-topic forum. I think local chapters are a great idea but clearly you'll have to work something out with the...

    The Supernova 2 does have the screw. Whether it's still around is the real question :).

    I'm sure you can purchase one independent of the chuck, though, in the event that it has been misplaced.

    One other thing to consider, Charles: you should get a Festool vac with whichever saw you end up purchasing. There are a couple of reasons for this:

    Thomas,

    Until I got into turning, I had no idea how much free wood I was passing by on a daily basis. City crews and utility companies and of course, arborists, are almost always working on the...

    You'll be much better off with a traditional workbench if your goal is to hold boards for handtools. There's really only two reasons for this: mass and workholding.

    I like the MFT a lot and if my...

    Chris,

    That looks great. My son is really into any kind of machinery. He's 3-1/2 and loves to talk about hydraulics and combustion engines. Go figure.

    Anyway, from what book did you draw...

    It's a nice whirring sound, isn't it?

    I have 5" flex hose off a 6" main duct so I just used a band clamp around the outlet.

    Congrats, Doug! There are quite a few of these in SMC stables now.
