That turned out much better than my first segmented attempt! Pretty wood combination!

Sweet idea...much cheaper than my Wolverine jig I'm sure and probably just as effective!

Cool..how's it sound? I want to start making some pot calls for the upcoming spring season. Any pointers on where you got your glass?

Congrats...I hope you love yours as much as I love mine!

Wow...amazing wood and great bowl

Hey all,

I spent some time today playing with my photo setup and learning more about my camera in the hopes that I can start taking decent pics of my turnings.

Here are a couple of shots of a...

Thanks for the comments and suggestions on both the turnings and the photography from everyone. I appreciate all the feedback as it does help to get new and different perspectives from such a great...

Here is a cheese platter that I'm going to give to my mother in law(MIL) for xmas. She likes the segmented stuff and wanted a platter and a matching vase. Vase is still being glued together and...

Hey all,

I've been a lurker and somewhat infrequent contributor here for about a year. I've been growing my skills and turning when I can and I finally made a real cheap photo tent so I could...

I love mine and you will too. It can get heavy after couple of hours of turning, but it does a great job keeping all the dust out of my sinuses and lungs. After wearing it and sanding for an hour I...

In addition to what's been listed here are mine -

Sandpaper...lots of 80 grit to hide my tool marks!

Bore light for a rifle - so I can see inside my hollow forms - works great!

Spring...

I think this will do it...might be a little difficult to always need another big guy to trim up the blanks. Could also be a little challenging to trim the corners of the blanks too. Maybe you could...

I'm have turned several pieces(bowls, vases, etc) from a cedar tree I got from a local arborist. Cedar trees large enough to turn are not too common here in Colorado so this has been a treat. I...

This is cool. I need to get one of these as well. I've been freehand woodburning and or engraving my pieces and it looks like a 4 year old has been signing my work.

David, can you give me an...

Wow..nice set up. You are way, way more organized than I. If you took a pic of my turning corner you'd see tools laying all over the place, shavings everywhere, stacks of wood under my feet,...

I have the 1.5 hp Jet and I would have gone with the 2 hp if I had 220. I didn't want to run 220 and I got a good deal on my 1.5 hp. I haven't had a need for the 2 hp yet, but you never know.

I...

Hey all,

I recently bought a 12" Delta bandsaw with a 1 hp motor off Craigslist for $80. Not too much money and then I realized I didn't get much capacity either. It's throat depth is only 5.5...

Ah man...that stinks!

I just did the same thing on a little aspen hollow form and it kinda makes you mad!

Good reminder - I always save a piece from each one I blow up to remind me to be...

Jerry,

I love the shotshell look - really makes the platter. Every year I make a few things for our local pheasants forever banquet and I think this would be a great new idea for next year's...

Wow - after seeing that cool work I need to get myself a coring system.

Scott, what kind of lathe did you do this on? I've heard that anything under 2 hp and it's trouble - was curious to see...

Het NateDo you have some specs on those casters....where you got them, brand, etc. I'm interested in getting someThxScoyy

Seems to be in the ballpark on price. I bought the same lathe for $1,200 used from a guy in Phoenix and paid him $100 to deliver it to Denver.The one i bought was 2 years old and the guy said he...

Nice bowl! I'm more interested in the outboard rest. It looks like it's some angle iron welded together with an adjustable height tool rest. Did you design/fabricate this yourself? I'd be curious...

I have a set of Trent's hollowing tools and the work great! I have the 5/8th inch set and handle and they work great for a hollow form up to about 12" deep. Trent sells a set that are 3/4" that I...

Allen,

I went to Trent's course in April of this year. You will learn a ton. He's a great teacher and has a great style. 3 full days with Trent really got me going in some different directions....
