How did you vent your island cooktop (I'm looking at doing one very, very similar)

what's the finish?

Creekers,
My old Wagner HVLP gun has finally ceased to function properly due to numerous floor collisions. I'm looking for a reasonable upgrade - I have a hoss of an air compressor so all I need is...

Wow...that gives me hope for my little turncrafter journey. I want to get good on a $200 lathe before I go buy a $3500 lathe.

This is absolutely beautiful. So you used spray can lacquer? How...

Can you run through your finishing process for me? I've never finished a bowl...I'm trying to gather info on the process before I start into it blind.

Is this poly applied while the lathe is moving or after removal and did you use the Beall to get that wicked shine?

Love the peice. Great move to save it. I wanna try one of these hollowforms...

critique away...

I'm happy with these. The vortex continues to suck me in. I've got 5 bowl blanks waiting (I'm scared to start them), countless pen blanks and 10 wine stoppers on order.

This is spalted maple,...

Yeah, I had to make 2 so both the moms would be satisfied.

And yes, they are a bit difficult to get out of, but it's so worth it to relax in one because the seating angle and curvature is very...

I agree, I like the double arch. Good luck with the loveseat, post some pics when you are done.

I'm going to make 2 chairs as well - just shorten the entire design and only do one arch on the back. I'll be able to use all my existing templates. Thanks for the pics.

If you would like me to scan in the plans and email them to you, I'd be more than happy to. I was very impressed with the designs and project layout. I made templates out of mdf after my second...

Here is a project I completed for my mother and one for my mother in law. I got the plans from an American Woodworker and made some very small tweaks. Used 5/4 radiused deck planks and 2X6's in...

Really gorgeous. I'm so jealous of fellow woodworkers that have access to bulk amounts of affordable wood that we pay an arm and a leg over here to get. Our wood in the south central US is so...

Can I get a couple more opinions as well on the mdf question? (I already bought the soft maple - I get way less tearout when using a router)

I am building a headboard for a child of a friend to match a pottery barn style plank bed. The bed has inset panels all around the storage area of the headboard and the finish she chose is painted...

Here are the pics of my second humidor build. Again, I got a really tight seal (the lid "floats" shut). Paduak, walnut, flaming maple & spanish cedar. Excalibur II hygrometer (from Amazon.com) and...

I'm in for sure.

I love how you all know my mind already with these "You just got started" comments.

I'm already drooling over a big mustard.

Thanks guys...
I just ordered a few peppermill, wine stopper & nicer pen kits. I got mothers day and fathers day presents for sure!

The creek community is by far the best I've found on the web....

I got my pen starter kit and new lathe from Penn State tonight and couldn't wait to start my first project. I got the turncraft Pro lathe and it came with 50 slimline kits and some paduak and...

I got a spinny thing and all the accessories to turn pens on the way from Penn State. I picked up the Turncrafter Pro and the "pen starter kit" and I am pretty excited. I turned some stuff in high...

Why doesn't my danish oil ever look that good after 2 coats?

Anyone in the north texas (dallas) area know where I can find a sharpening service for planer, jointer & miter/tablesaw blades?

Quilted maple top, bloodwood accents, maple sides - lined in spanish cedar. Gel humidifier, Caliber II digital thermometer. Rockler quadrant hinges.

Turned out okay - I learned alot for my next...
