I turn almost exclusively Maple, Cherry and Black Walnut and have seen no difference in the different woods when it comes to my DNA drying method. I rough turn to a wall thickness of 1" to 1 1/4",...
I sand bowls at 175 rpm and about half speed on the close angle drill. Seems to work for me. Using a back up pad really helps keep the abrasive a bit cooler
Roughing out the second of two cherry bowls this morning and the DVR XP shut down. I figured it was hot so I set up the fan to blow some air across it and went and had a cup of coffee. This has...
I use both carbide and HSS and I would have to believe that over time the carbide tools will cost significantly more simply because of the cost of replacing the cutters. That said there are both...
With the luck I've had turning oak I'd just chuck em in the fireplace and be done with it
You Sir, are a crazy man. It's a good thing that I like crazy people. That is a whole bunch of iron.
In the past I have only accepted cash and checks for sales and have lost some business because of it. We live in a debit/credit card world these days. I noticed in another thread that Bernie...
Thanks for everyone's input on my previous post. Attached is a photo to show that it actually did happen.

I am now the owner of a Nova DVR XP lathe with a whole pile of extras included. I look forward to giving a spin this weekend.
Forgot to add that a bowl steady rest is also included. Based on feedback so far looks like this is a winner. Going to look at it Wednesday - with my checkbook.
Nova DVR XP with Oneway Stronghold chuck, bed extension, Outboard Turning attachment and shop built stand. The lathe is six years old and the owner reports no problems with it. $1200. Good deal or...

I saw a Jet 1642 on Dallas Craigslist a little while back. That was probably yours. What a bummer. I hope you find an acceptable replacement.
Both are very nice but the first one gets the blue ribbon. Your mystery wood kinda looks like cherry.
Too bad you are not closer to NC. I have a Delta 46-460 I will be selling soon. Craigslist or a local club are your best bets as noted earlier but it will require patience. With your budget you...
Thanks for all the input. I believe my question has been answered.
I am a turner and usually hang out on that forum but I have a bandsaw question and this seemed the appropriate place for it. I purchased an older (1990) Jet 14" bandsaw that needs a good going over...
I have no idea how you do these things but they are really cool.
I currently turn on a Delta 46-460 and it is a very nice lathe although the forward/reverse switch is starting to get a bit hinky. I would like a bit more capacity to turn larger salad bowls and...
If you add up the ages of me, my wife our 2 sons and our 2 cats you get 162. I'll go with 162! I have never turned mesquite. Sounds fun.
Do you have hickory up your way? The heartwood looks like hickory to me. If it were poplar the bowl would be much lighter in weight when compared to maple. If it were hickory it would be of the...
Thomas,
Renaissance Wax is a food safe finish. The following is from Picreator the manufacturer of Renaissance Wax.
Thank you for your enquiry. Renaissance is a blend of food-grade waxes and...
Yeah I stopped using the walnut oil and utility finish because it never cured - it was always greasy as you said and nothing but fingerprints. Switched to a home made witches brew which I apply, let...
Nice work. Anyone would be proud to own one of those sets. And - ERMERGERD - there is such a thing as smoked sea salt? Who knew?
Unless I have another green rough out that needs to go into the alcohol I generally let them soak for up to a week. After I take them out I don't wrap or bag them I just check them daily and when I...
