Hey John,
OK well the Craft Supply order came in today and I will admit it, I bought 3 new spindle gouges....included were the Rex/Kip 9/16" forged gouge, Henry Taylor Spindle Pro (1/2"), and...
John,
Go to the Sorby website, UK site that is. They have the Continental spindle gouge from 8mm to 35mm. I use the 30mm gouge and it is one of my go to tools. Just bought the 9/16" forged...
Amen Scott.

Terry
If not mistaken, I believe Bob Stocksdale said it best.....the ancient Chinese copied my bowl designs.....
Well, that small bare area is so because I just finished turning those blocks. Did you happen to notice the maple burl blocks by the table saw? That bare spot is now full of maple burl. I still...
Hey John,
Come on up. If you ever find yourself in Salem, you've a place to say, a lathe to turn on, and pretty good food to eat.

Hey Jim,
Wood junkie? Well perhaps now. More along the lines of hoarder, that is until Mike Smith did an intervention. We literally go rid of at least 6 pickup truck loads of wood. Finally...
Scott,
What that little ole thing? Shucks, it almost went in the burn pile. :)
Picture 1 is mostly 8 x 8 x 8 burl blocks, a few taller. Then there is the boneyard......yes, the smaller logs...
Hey Dave,
So you want some pics of the wood pile.....there is a lot of wood there, more than I ever will be able to turn, but then there is always one more piece you just can't live...

For sale is a mint condition Vicmarc VL300 lathe. Machine was purchased new from Woodworkers Emporium in...
Kathy,
There is a high probability this Ambrosia maple came from Mike Smith of Century Tree Turnings. I was at Desert Roundup with Mike last February and we sold a fair amount to Woodcraft. You...
OK David....I will get some pics this afternoon. I will have to clean up a bit though. Can't have everyone thinking I am messy.
Terry
Hey David,
Sadly enough, it is my shop. What you don't see is behind door number 3. If you look closely next to that wood rack is door number 3. Inside door number 3 there...
Bill,
The center link is like a mini I-beam. It is bolted together because there are bearings at each end, which makes any move smooth as silk.

Hey Rick,
The Gizmo bars come in 5/8, 3/4, and 1" square stock. The Transformer has a 5/8" bar. Not sure if this is the answer to your question. The Gizmo is drilled 3/4" and supplied with a...
Prashun,
I have posted some comments on The Gizmo by JT Turning Tools. Beefier than the Monster, and I think you will spend less money. It is drilled to hold a 3/4" bar with an adapter to go to...
Come on in Scott.......the waters fine. Oh, what is that.....a whirlpool?
Scott,
Any 5/8" or 3/4" boring bar will fit in the Gizmo. I put a straight boring bar in the Gizmo this morning with a teardrop cutter to finish the bottom. Worked perfectly.
Terry
Keith,
Tom doesn't have the Gizmo up on his website yet. JTTurningtools.com I expect he will soon.
Terry
OK so here is the story of the Gizmo adventure so far.....on day 1 I learned my lathe wasn't level, probably 3/8" off, as the Gizmo kept drifting away from the lathe. So, now my lathe is level. ...
Hey guys,
Just to let you know, The Gizmo shipped out on Tuesday, so maybe with any luck I will have it tomorrow. I will send some pics as soon as it get it up and running. Also, the price for...
Hey Scott,
When I was tinkering with the Gizmo, I did notice that the lathe was running at about 1200 revs, a pretty comfortable speed I thought. As for the Anchor Seal, forget that noise. Get...
Hey Scott,
A real pleasure to meet you at SWAT. Hope all that wood you bought from Mike Smith turns out...no pun intended....
OK I took the opportunity to play around on the Gizmo, actually...
Include me in the drawing.
