Hey all,

I know this seems pretty lame, but I am looking for a place to buy Black and White veneer for some small turnings I am hoping to make before Christmas is actually here.

I looked on...

I looked into the Comm Ed rules out here and you guys are correct. They won't let a regular guy put in a new panel. I will admit this was my first one doing this. I have put in a few sub-panels in...

Gonna put in a new 200A service panel for a friend who currently only has a 100A (though the house is only 3 yrs old and the meter is rated for 200). He was thinking just a swap job, but I am...

Well don't I feel stupid. I went down in the shop to actually measure how severe the damage is here when I realize I have one of those "no-lock" plastic washers on between the headstock and adapter...

So I'm thinking I have a problem with my buffing adapter from Don Pencil, maybe you guys can help me out?

I bought a Buffing Kit from Don Pencil at a woodturning show a year or so ago and I am...

Thanks for all the great suggestions! Sadly enough I already have the compressor on a switch as the compressor is outside in my garage and my shop is down in the basement.

I originally installed...

Anyone using a 220V timer or know where I can find one of these? I have been to the BORG and haven't been able to find anything. I am getting tired of my air compressor going off in the middle of...

Thanks for the info guys. I haven't looked into the local turning club because the one I know if is a good 50 miles one way...

I will look into the the library about the loan policy. I acquired...

I am quite interested in trying out some segmented turning. I have rented the "The Art of Segmented Turning" by Malcolm Tibbetts from the local library and it is a great read, but I am more of a...

Without getting too morbid, I'm really interested in making some urns. I have two little urns that I would like to make for some special dogs in our family.

I have never done any hollow form...

Per,

When using this Conbond product do you have to wait till it drys to the tacky touch or do you "spray and lay"? I know of a cabinet shop on my way home, maybe I can buy from them.
...

Thanks for all the great ideas. I think I will try the iron trick for now. This way I can see if it has the proper amount of glue or not. If that doesn't work then I will wait till more of the...

I know this is a bit off color of the typical discussion around here, but I figure someone here could help point me in the right direction.

It seems that my countertop is delaminating from the...

I have a small plate / plaque that I'd like to make a small stand for. I did some Google Searching for "Plate Easel" and "Plate Holder", but I can't find any templates, just items for sale.

I...

Burt,

I also have a 3520B and here is what I can answer:
1. Just as Jeff said make sure to push low and even on the head. Pushing on the top of the headstock will rack it.
2. I do not know...

Bill,

Thank you for the info. I guess the only question I can think of now is, Are the pieces designed to be turned ONLY, or are the pieces designed to be turned to rough shape and then carved...

I know Amazon has it, but I was hoping maybe someone here has it and could give a little insight about it. Some publisher's websites show a few pages of what the book is like under the cover, but...

Can anyone here give some info on the book "Turned Chessmen" by Mike Darlow published in May 2008? I can't find it at any local bookstore or library. I have only been able to find a copy online and...

Looks like my finishing options are VERY limited as I have little time till X-Mass. The project is done and I was going to use Bullseye Amber Shellac with about 3 - 4 coats of General Finishes Oil &...

Thank you for the links. I tried my hand at the turned angels (woodturningonline) last night and not too bad, but sure not good enough to give away as a gift. Guess I'll just have to spend more...

I know it is really getting late in the season to be just learning how to make something new, but I would really like to take a stab at making one of these ornaments that I keep seeing with the long...

Last time I checked their is no mortising attachement for the PM2800 that mounts correctly. I don't have the Delta, but I tried the JET once upon a time and I remember it doesn't work. If I...

Several methods are available. Graph paper is a little crude, but graph paper and machine cut outs is a nice upgrade (this way you don't have to keep erasing machines). There are also several...

Dick,

I own the PSH1, but have never used it. I bought it for some projects I was thinking about spraying with latex paint. I ended up never using it, nor have I used the Earlex. You can...
