Barry , Why do you need all that weight? I had a Powermatic 3520B and added a welded steel box filled with 300 lbs of sand to help with large turnings, coring, etc. Without the weight , I found the...
Russ Zimmerman is located in Fla now. I just checked out his web site. I seem to remember chatting with him over several phone conversations in '78 or '79 concerning buying a record lathe.
I bought this chuck from Woodcraft in 1979: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?204770-Universal-Chuck-from-1979
I will either send you one I already have or make you one. They are very easy to make. I will send you a PM
Count me in.....need some spindle tools anyway! To Doug, thanks for doing this.
"I can't understand not processing an order anther days or ".....huh?
Daniel, I visited your web page and really like your product. Have you considered using a wood stabilizing process on the helmets? Once you are set up it would be an easy, efficient and durable...

It's the number I am looking for....what angle? I did some experimenting and found 60 degrees works well. Anyone else have any input? Thank you.
What is the angle of the grind on these Dway beader tools, and on the diamond point tool. I lent my set to friend and noticed I have 4 different angles on four tools. The large beader I have...

Thanks" Hollowers", the cherry blanks in the left photo do not have any wax on them. I am going to try all three methods: dna, brown bags and sealing the outside of the blanks.
I have been harvesting bowl /platter blanks and coring with local woods for many years. I want to get into hollowing and approached the blanks in a similar manner, turned thick and Anchor-sealed. I...

Hare is another version. Extend the faceframe stile to the floor. Make a big cabinetdoor, preferably with a wide rail on the bottom, split into two panels if needed and miter, with...
There is a positive aspect to this story. A lot of us want to become reacquainted with WOW. I, and several others, have "rejoined." I promise to only post photos of my own work!
Could someone please send me an invite, or whatever is needed to join WOW. I was a member of the old site a few years ago. I would like to participate in the new forum. Thanks in advance, Tom Bennett
Go ahead an renew your subscription and pay for it with a check from your Nigerian bank....
Nice stool! How did you make it, drill the holes, etc? Can you show us a photo of it turned upside down? What is the angle of the legs to the seat?
Ditto to the other comments. I've had mine for a couple of years and love it. I had a 3520B but just wanted to try something different. The Robust people are fantastic.
I have two of these and use Vince's paper. If you have the air, go for it.
Looks like the original motor is gone and you are belted down to the 2 HP Leeson. I like the outboard rig. You have a very nice lathe! Congratulations.
I use the Grass 3903VZ 165 degree, with the 4.3 mm face frame plate. On the standard cabinets, I use the 3703VS 110 degree. The 3903VZ are indeed bulky but work and adjust well. I use a standard...
Thanks for the comments. I checked out their ebay site and feedback. 100% is good enough for me! I will give them an order.
I stumbled across the web site of this company this morning. They have a nice selection of reasonably priced turning blanks. Unfortunately, their web site does not say who or where they are. I'm...
