I like it.

Marty,
I just checked my Nova chucks (SN2 and G3) and they require a 1 1/2" open end wrench. My adapters are for a 1"x8 thread. Measure your adapters across the flats and get a Harbor Freight wrench...

Some days your tool work may not be up to snuff, when it happens to me I grab the shellac. Liberally coat the torn grain or other problem areas. When dry I wet sand with 60 or 80 grit lubed with...

The insert and it's mounting method are just re-purposed metal working tools. Before I retired I had several of different widths, used them for parting off and turning flat bottom grooves in shafts.

Now that looks like a fun place to hang out.

Paper towels work just fine.

If you don't mind spending large dollars, Oneway sells their banjos and tool rests as separate items and they do make a banjo for their 12" lathe that will fit a Powermatic 45.

I have one of Mahoney's DVDs "Bowl Basics" and it is pretty good at showing tool positions and techniques, but I think Bil Grumbine's DVD "Bowls Made Easy" is a little better overall. I have...

Oh yeah, they're Lacer's skews. I bought one from my local brick and mortar Rockler a few months ago. Same deal, way less expensive than the on-line stores. Now if I could just figure out a way to...

Made my thin parting tool from a power hacksaw blade. About 1/16" x 2" x 12", ground the teeth off and the profile in. Works great for parting, but like Chris Stolicky mentioned that's about all you...

That's a very interesting technique, gives great results. Just a shame what your wife's going to do when she finds her Tupperware.

Spectacular!

I know very little about make-up, but I know a beautiful piece of wood when I see it. Nice job with the turning too.

Hey Paul, did you turn the stone on your lathe? You mentioned soap stone in one of your posts, is that what you used for the box? What kind of tools did you use? I like your idea and just need a...

Leo strikes again! Gorgeous little bowl, the beads and details really move it up a couple levels. That piece of maple has been very good to you.

That's a nice piece, now we just need to know how you did it.

If you hadn't brought it up we wouldn't have known. They look fine just the way they are. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Well, you better do it before September. If not you may get snowed in.

you should be able to cut off the connectors and wire it in parallel with the off switch on your controller.

Stop switches are wired in series, wire them in parallel...

Nice shape, almost a calabash. Does it have a round bottom?

Scary, ain't it?

I use a fingernail grind on a 1/2" spindle gouge and a square grind on a chunky 3/4" scraper. You can back hollow a la Raffan if you're brave. I just hollow conventionally after I drill a 3/8" hole...

Excellent fair curve, like the rim detail, not happy with the foot. Overall A+

It may be a little different, but it's also a lot nice.

I don't do sushi either, but I do like the shape of your bowl.
