I do watch Lisa Ramlow, and that's where I saw your "s" shaped tool rest. I could sure use that one.
Reed,
Who is making the Robo Hippy "S-shaped" Tool Rests now? That rest looks like I need it.
Thank you, Jim.
Yes, cheap Chinese MOTS inlays all hand cut with my jeweler's saw. The Greene logo was a tip of the hat to my Dad, who went by Jackie Greene as a pro sax & clarinet player for 78 years....
Maurice:
Thank you, sir. Actually, the LP that got stolen was at my old farmhouse outside of Leipers Fork, TN. That's become a Mecca for Country and Rock stars,; they're buying up large parcels...
Thanks, John. I felt limited by the smaller diameter (3"), and I will try some more as the time progresses. I still have a few pieces of the 3x3 Euro Pine dunnage to play with, so I'll post as I...
I made an LP style guitar to learn how to build this style, and to replace the One That Got Away (real 1959 LP Std. GT over burst that was stolen in 1983). I named it Scrap Paul because it was made...
Here's a practice piece I did from KD Euro pine 3x3x10".
Hello, John. Thanks for the correction on Bob's name. I will need to get permission to use some of your info for my demo at the TAW club. Not much, just enough to help fill 2 hours of...
I am - I'll be a videographer for about 6 demos over 3 days, so be kind - constructive criticism only.
He's got another different class in the Fall.
I haven't posted here for a very long time. I decided to join (finally had $6 from selling a bottle stopper last weekend :-))
I spent a week in May up at John C. Campbell Folk School, taking a...
I bought my G0766, before they even were shipped to the USA, based upon recommendation by this forum's Roger (?), and it's performed wonderfully. The largest bowl I've tuned has been 16" diameter on...
I know that. I turned a set of 4 x 5" diameter x 6'-0" long bed posts that were red oak. I got pretty good with my skew and sandpaper.
Once I get the go ahead, I will worry about a design, or just try story sticks and calipers. These will be 23" long x 1.25" diameter, so not a real big challenge; but might have to consider some...
Yes, I will make 36, just in case.
John K: Thanks for the reply. I know how to use story sticks, and I am OK with roughing, spindle and skews. But these will have to look like machine made because they'll sit really close to each...

I might have a job to make 30 duplicate spindle on my lathe. Has anyone made an attachment to copy spindles?
I have taken a Cremation Urn class from Steve Pritchard at J. C. Campbell Folk School last year, and along with my aspiring guitar building - here's a tip. Acetone painted on the wood where the ABS...
I use Forstner bits regularly to help create hollows. But a Hole Saw will not remove anything except the ring where the saw cust and the center drill bit. Use Forstner bits and a scraper afterwards...
What glue did you use for the tank? How much liquid do you normally use?
Pressure tank is different than Vacuum Chamber. You may want to research before investing. Turn-Tex is who I will use when I can afford it. No affiliation, but what recommended by my instructor at...
I have turned a set of 4 - 6 foot long bed posts on a 42" long bed (customer built a wooden extension made of Advantech and red oak. It's still on my lathe as a ready to use reference desk. The...
