    What I’m thinking is the switch somehow developed a short which caused the black wire to fry and created an open connection in the black leg. You mention that a loose wire causes lower voltage and...

    I decided to cut it into several smaller bowls, each about 6”. This way I was able to capture a lot of the complex ambrosia stain patterns. I’m not completely certain what species of maple it is but...

    I think I’ll try making my own tap, the knob is only brass so it should be easy to tap. I’ve got some chrome/moly steel rod laying around so I’ll thread it to 9/32-24 on my lathe then cut some flutes...

    I can see a problem getting the stud out of the frog without damage. I think I could buy a 9/32-24 LH machine screw from McMaster-Carr, cut some flutes in it, taper it a bit on a grinder like a tap...

    The threads don’t look worn at all and the old knob threads are too small to take a 5/16 screw. My first thought was to turn a new knurl on the old knob but that involves making some sort of shaft to...

    I took Thomas’s advise and put it on a 3” faceplate and turned the bottom. I cut the area with the crack out before I put the faceplate on. The wood is fairly solid at the base but gets very punky...

    Thanks, Leo, the wood doesn’t seem very dense and it does look like your photos of yellow birch so I’ll call it that, at least for now. I like Thomas’s idea of cutting it down a bit and putting on a...

    It’s a hemispheric hunk of wood but it’s not a burl. I rounded the corners on the bandsaw then put it on the lathe. After just a couple of minutes of turning I stopped it to check how it was holding...

    Andy, I'm glad you didn't give in to the temptation to get a junky lathe and mill just because they are cheap. There's nothing like the smooth sturdy feel of a real vintage American lathe.
