Thanks John, I obviously had not see the previous thread.
Yesterday I attended a demo on the Easy Wood Tools, and got to meet Craig Jackson who manufactures the tools. I was impressed with what I saw and would like to have a set, however they are priced out...
Although I am ambidextrous for a lot of things I tend to be mostly a lefty. Being able to get to the other side of my lathe has proved to be more comfortable at times. I usually work from the front...
I have more than once tried to take a sip of my coffee, forgetting that I had a face shield on.
I don't know what to say, but I figured I'd better reply something so I don't get cut off at the end of the month. I do enjoy reading the posts, being mostly inexperienced I love the learning that...
Congratulations on your 23 year career. Thank you for serving. Hope the next phase of your life is filled with joy and lots of turning.

First of all I want to say a thanks to all of you who responded to my question on finishing the baby rattle I made for my grandaughter. I took your advice and went to the WC store to see what I could...
Thanks for all the great advice. I look forward to going to WC and check out what they have in line with what you all have said. Ken, I actually got the idea for the rattle from when you made the two...
Could anyone tell me if using Renassaince wax on a baby rattle would be harmful to the baby? If so, what else could be used. I made a baby rattle for my grandaughter out of maple and buffed it with...
Yesterday at church, a friend opened the trunk of his car and gave me this old burl:) which has been in his basement or years, it is very dry. He said to be creative with it:rolleyes:. I think it is...
