It is really a shame. Woodturning Design was my favorite magazine. I just renewed last month and they cashed my check on 7/21.

They had to know that the magazine was done before they cashed my...

Plus one on what Earl said. Best $150 bucks spent for a shop tool. I bought mine when I bought my Powermatic Lathe to move around. I use the lift to move all the heavy equipment in the shop.

Thanks Allen,

I have made bookcases and cabinets and such in the distant past, but nothing like this. It is a nice feeling.

Boy, I'm baring my soul here.

Yikes! I'll see them in a few hours and I'll be sure I get a buck from them. A penny sure doesn't go very far these days.

Thanks,
Gerald

Thank you Dave.

Thank you Ken.

This was a labor of love. It was great to be working in the shop again after a long hiatus.

Thanks Bruce,

The bevel glass is from Klockit. I was going to purchase the glass locally, but prices were more than Klockit.

I don't post much, however; I do enjoy reading the mail. I want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year.

This was a Wedding gift for my Step-son and his wife that was delayed for quite some...

I thought that I would post a photo of my Nova DVR (which I sold) and my 3520B just to show the size difference. The DVR is not on a stand, but the different size of the head stocks and the bed...

Dan, you are going to love this planer. I just finished running an 8 inch x 8 foot x 1 1/8 inch Peruvian Walnut through it. Very smooth finish and no snipe.

Dan, did you get the spiral cutter head? It is very quiet and smooth cutting.

I thought I would see very light marks from the individual cutters, I saw nothing but smooth wood.

I was hesitant...

I forgot to say that nothing really needed adjustment. I checked the table rollers with a Oneway surface dial indicator. Both rollers were .004. The Feed rollers, chip breaker and pressure bar...

I cleaned up the Cosmoline just using a terry cloth rag to wipe most of it off. Not too bad. Then used a clean cloth with mineral spirits and wipe everything three times.

The difficult part was...

:) I took delivery of a new Grizzly G0453Z planer w/spiral cutter head yesterday.

I ordered it Monday morning and Tuesday UPS called to deliver it. Amazing service from Grizzly!

All day today...

I had that splitter on my PM-66. It was not snug and you could move it side to side very little. Never had an issue with it. The splitter did what it was supposed to do, it worked great.

I clamp a board 1 to 2 inches wide (however long) under and to the board I want to cut so that it rides the right edge of the bandsaw table. The table edge is now used as a fence.

Allen,

Go to Mouser Electronics at mouser.com put in the part number (not Powermatics part number) of the pot into their search function and you should find it. There should be a number on the...

Hello John. First, I was certainly very happy for your surviving the Widow Maker. My number 2 step son had survived the Widow Maker earlier this year. He required 3 stents. He was very lucky as were...

Thank you Scott. SWMBO told me to get busy and make something with that big machine. So what do I do? I practice turning small finials.

I was about to purchase a Powermatic 3520B from an online retailer, but I saw a post for this one in the Classifieds here on SMC two or three weeks ago.

It is less than 2 years old and in like new...

Sean,

Thanks for posting the video, good job and good video. I enjoyed the music too! You made me smile when you started the sing-along.

I'm not familiar with making videos. Could you please...

Hello John,

I didn't mean finish, poor wording, I meant to type sealer, but finish appeared. Funny how that happens.

I use the sealer and it streaks. I just want to prevent the streaking from...

I use Mylands cellulose sanding sealer, but not very well. Every time I use it, it leaves streaks in the finish.

I put some Mylands on a lint free rag and put it on my turning with the lathe off....

Just when I think I have a finish all decided on, I go and search the forums for more info. My head hurts reading all of that info. ;)

I have a little jar of Watco Danish Oil left, so I will use...

I have decided to use either Watco Danish Oil or Mahoney's Walnut Oil on my turning projects. However; I do not want to darked the wood too much. I'm also not sure of how much of a difference there...
