Kevin,
I own a set of bases fir the 20" Powermatic. I had to buy taller bases to fit my present lathe. Send me a PM if you want to discuss them.
The crack is probably already stable. There must have been a stress in the wood that relieved itself with the hair line crack. I wouldn't bother with it. any knod of glue won't hold since the wood...
Trevor,
Are you sure you are keeping your core size between the standards set by Oneway. I only get binding when I get too close to the max or minimum core size for a particular blade. By the way,...
Clay, Since no one seems to want to tackle this question I will tell you my opinion. I use both systems on literally every bowl I make. I have a CP 2"-3" pneumatic ROS as well as several angle...
My 8" baldor has ports like Reed's. They are angled down toward the back. That puts the chutes squarely in the way of raising the jig high enough. Setting it as high as possible still made the tool...
Justin,
Avoid an alcohol based top coat over an alcohol based dye. Lacquer will not disturb the dye but shellac will ruin it.
I've warmed myself by a fire of ring shake wood many times. At first sight it goes right in the firewood pile. It will break your heart every time but that's better than having it break bones in your...
David,
I own a few morse taper drill bits and never use them in wet wood for exactly the reason you describe. The problem is it is difficult and dangerous to hold onto the bit while cranking it into...
What a nice thing to pass your skills onto willing learners. As you know, my close friend took your class at JC last year. Thanks to you he has become a John Campbell School regular.

I'm blown away by the quality of your work. Just beautiful.

A detail gouge has a lot more "meat" in this case steel, below the bottom of the flute. The flute itself is similar to a spindle gouge. The thick web makes the detail gouge more stiff and less likely...
$2800 is a low price for a 2436 in good condition, especially if it comes with some accessories. I traded my PW for a 2436 and haven't regretted it even though I probably paid way too much for mine....
It's an old Delta Homecraft complete with cast iron legs and frame and a jack shaft with cone pulleys. Tons of speed settings available. Nice indexing holes on head pulley. I would say, it's an oldie...
I always use it when running the band saw but only during sanding on the lathe. I've never had a problem with wet wood caking on the dust bag. I guess I'm just lucky.
My first lathe was against the wall. With it there I splattered curls and chips all over the shop. When I learned that most chips went behind me I decided to turn my new lath around so the wall is 4'...
Most stubborn sanding marks are caused by not removing the prior grits scratches. In other words you must completely replace your 50 grit scratches with your 80 grit scratch pattern. If not, the 120...
Did anyone else get the Sears April fool ad. They advertised a powered knife for cutting meat. The picture showed a chainsaw bar and chain being held over a raw filet. I wonder how many folks tried...
I am willing to bet there is no highly figured wood in those trees. The growths are small and most likely not burls but scars from bark damage. The only way to find out is to cut and thereby kill the...
Sam,
The resistance break in your 3520 is not "the best" and the lathe will kick itself into some sort of a "safety" mode if you allow an unbalanced workpiece to freewheel after you stop the lathe....
This conversation has made me thirsty. I'm going to enjoy a cup of coffee. :)

I'd be surprised is anyone bites. I see too many bark inclusions and not much burl.

Your back will tell you when it's time and you won't mind spending the money then. Till then, I've seen posts where folks built a wooden extension just to park the tailstock further from the...
Scott,
The bulk of your chips and shavings will come toward you. I like to have my back to a wall so the chips stop. Leave enough room to be comfortable. My lathe is just over 4' from the wall...
Bill,
Before I bought my current extension I didn't have a wedge. Believe it or not, a few good whacks on the side of the extension will loosen the live center.
