Which Nova do you like? There is more than one model.

I'd like to be able to turn a 12" to 16" bowl. To me, that is a big chuck of wood.

What are you turning on?

Jeff

The Jet 1642 is an option, I might just have to pony up to such a model. How comfortable are you with putting a large chuck of wood on that, and feeling safe about doing such? The Novas look like...

I have cut my teeth in turning on a Steel City mini lathe. I'm ready to move up to a larger machine. My interest is in turning larger bowls, the length of the bed matters little to me. Of course, I...

Hey Michael,

Just wondering where you are from. I grew up in Jamestown, OH, just a few miles from Xenia. My grandmother lived off route 68, just a few miles from the Home. I remember the Home...

I like it a bunch and I think you did a great job. I do have a question though. What would it have looked like had you not filled the voids with the red inlace? I kinda like some open holes in...

Dunno if I care much for the "space needle" finial. Still, much better than I can do. Great job.

So, what did you do with the little bugger once he was discovered?

Thanks gentlemen, a lot of good info here.

Jeff

I might take you up on that, Gary. Got a lot going on right now, but PM me with your e-mail address and I'll get in touch. Thanks.

Everyone,

I bought a really nice cherry burl from ebay a year ago, went back to look for more, and apparently this guy is not using ebay anymore. I don't have a lot of time to go out and drop...

Everyone,

I want to puchase a knife kit from Woodcraft, and make the scales to fit. I am wondering if someone can give me the general step by step, or if there is a website out there to show me...

Amazing. I can't get anything that thin. What is the bottom made of?

Jeff

We had some storms roll through central KY this morning. When I got to work, I found that about half of a large ash tree was on the ground behind my building. By the time I left work, the tree...

Hey Brian, nice work.

Couple questions. 1) Did you turn this while the wood was green? 2) What is the final thickness of the walls?

Thanks,

Jeff

I do not have an Incra jig, but I am aware of their products. I am currently cutting box joints and dovetails on a Leigh Super 18. I also have a WoodRat.

Exactly which Incra are you using? I've...

Can you explain the process in making the box joints. I've seen that done elsewhere, just not sure how it is done.

Very nice work, BTW.
