Basement shop; full OSB, ditto on painting and wish for ceiling.
I like'em all, but the stands are really nice. May have to do some for Christmas ornaments.
Very, very nice work George. My wife has been after me for a footed bowl, but I'm not going to show her this one. Don't want to raise the expectations.
Rich,
Ditto everyone else on the stem. But if this was the first one, then very well done indeed. All of my firsts fall into the 'prototype' category. If they come out in one piece I'm...
Very cool Dan!
In time for Easter? Well, it's not terribly complicated. The first part is just turning almost all of it. The second part is either parting it off carefully or using some jig to hold it while you...
Very cool looking eggs Brent. Happy Easter.
That's a beauty Doug. Really like the 'spider web' in the bottom.
Very nicely done Curt. I agree with the concensus here, I don't think it's a mismatch at all. And by the way, you didn't have a blow up, you had a catastrophic success.
I turn on a little Penn State lathe and I've done hollow forms. (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=74900)
The width is determined by the swing of your lathe. The height really...
I don't get it. I looked at the first two pictures and saw a shop. What was the problem?:rolleyes:
Cutting it close. I think I'll go start on Christmas now.
Bill those look wonderful. My wife has a huge nutcracker collection and I had just promised her a turned one for next Christmas. I'll have to find that FWW article.
My brother and I have often talked about the things you can never have too much of in a shop. My usual picks are sand paper and clamps (and turning tools and wood and well.. everything really).

I’ve been absent for quite some time (new job, new house, new shop!). I’ve been spending all of my ‘spare’ time working on the shop (1/2 of a full basement). I purposely put off setting up the lathe...
Yes, I've been planning the outlets so I can get an electrician in before I finish the walls. I was planning on ceiling outlets, but hadn't thought about 220 there.
Thanks to all for the advice,...
I'm on the other side of town from you (Fayetteville). I hear they have a turners group over in Newnan somewhere...
Well sort of, I'm here and the wife, furniture and tools arrive tomorrow. I haven't been around here for a while because of the relocation.
The good news is that I now have half of an...
Very pretty Steve, another good one!
Very pretty Neal, I would have sworn this was a big one if you hadn't said.
I like it Jon! I really enjoy walnut in simple forms, it looks and feels 'warm' somehow.
Wow! That's some really nice work Walt!
Welcome Ken. I think the key is filtering out the UV light. Sounds like Bernie has the right idea.
I think it also depends on whether you apply the varnish on or off the lathe. You can put lots of thin coats on when you 'burn it in' on the lathe. I think it also lessens the cure time. Just my...
The tag said Oregon.
