    End-grain bowls: what am I doing wrong?

    So I had a big log section of Elm sitting around (~8" round and 4" thick), and I decided to make a bowl out of it.

    Things started off innocently enough: I screwed a faceplate into what would end...

    The blade saw very light use, and being carbide tipped, it was still quite sharp. I'm in Minnesota: it looks like there is a Fastenal near my house that might be able to reweld it.

    Just broke a Tri-Master after 2 months

    It seems I overlooked the pulleys. I knew there was an obvious answer that I just couldn't see.

    I'll have to look into a different arrangement for the pulleys and see if I can't slow things down.

    I inherited an old (circa 1980) Craftsman 12" 1/2HP lathe from my grandpa, and I've been using it (somewhat) happily for the past 2 years. I've bought some upgrades for it, (live-center tailstock,...
