You could try calling the Woodcraft store there and ask what all the class includes. Or better even, go by the store and talk to the folks there. They should be able to tell you lots about the class....

I have a Jet 1014 mini lathe. I mostly just use it to turn pens and tool handle occasionally. About a year after I had it, I found that it wasn't running true. When I would turn a pen, I noticed...

Beautiful looking bowl. I love Redwood burl. You did a nice job with it. Any pics of the other bowls you got out of that blank?

Thanks for the advice Jon. I have a drill chuck for my lathe, but I don't have anything to hold to the pen blank with. I need to get a collect chuck, or a set of pin jaws for my Nova chuck.

I...

Here are two pens I just turned. The ultra cigar turned out well. It is spalted maple. The segmented one is the one I have been asking about how to do, and what kit, etc. The segmented Jr Gent...

David, I work in Jonesboro.

I ordered a cigar kit and a junior gent kit. I will pick which one I like best when they come in. Thanks for the help guys. I will post some pics when I get the pen...

I am about to attempt my first segmented pen. But I need to order a nice kit for it. All I have now are slimline kits. I want something bigger that would show off the wood better. What do you guys...

This is a common problem for this bandsaw. It is the only flaw I have found with mine though. I have the same saw. I ordered a sleeve of about 10 bearings for it for about $15 or so. I can't remember...

Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you heal up well.

One thing I would like to ask is was your hand in line with blade? What I mean is, you said you had your hand back about 6", but was...

Yes, the vortex is deep. I started turning late December. I got a Jet mini for Christmas. I fired up my table saw today for this first time in months. I almost forgot I had one. :D

It definately better than my first try, yours still has the bottom on it. :D:D:D

I am going to Fort Smith next week for a training class at Baldor motors. I am wondering if there is anything woodworking wise worth checking out. I live in northeast Arkansas and we have nothing...

I just went through the same thing. I called Tim Geist, the Teknatool rep. I bought a Nova chuck for $50. I am not sure if he has any left with a 1x8tpi thread. You can call him and ask. His link is...

Thanks for all the advise, espcially Doug. I just placed an order for the 1/2" V shaped gouge. I will post pics once I receive it and turn a handle for it.

I am going to order a Thompson bowl gouge. I am going to be making a few small bowls on a JET 1014. Which size gouge should I order, a 3/8" or a 1/2"? What are the advantages of the 1/2 over the 3/8?...

Eric,

Woodturningz.com has a #1 morse taper mandrel. I think it is the same one PSI has. The also have PSI pen kits for a better price.

I am still trying to decide if I am going to attend the woodworking show in St. Louis. If I can go and learn some about turning, it would be worth it. I made my first pen there last year. I would be...

Steff,

Ken has it right. Just bolt down the lathe. If you stand is flat, the extension will not need to be bolted down. Just attach the extension to the lathe. Then, as Ken said, use a straight...

I have a Jet 1014 lathe. I have made a few pens, and want to do some bowls and hollow forms. I need advise on buying a chuck for it. Below are links to 4 differents chucks. A grizzly, PSI Barracuda...

I am flattered to see someone copied my stand. I am jealous that your looks better though. Nice work, and like the others said, make some shaving now.

I put my pen mandral on the lathe for the first time last night. My son turned his first pen (pics coming soon). All I have is the live center that came with my Jet 1014. It has a very sharp point....

Bill,

do you have any information about how to contact Tim Geist. I am in the market for a chuck, and I heard the original Nova is a very good one. Does the $50 one you mention come with just one...

Richard,

this is the only pen mill I have. There are no other pilots with it. This one only does 7mm pens. The barrel trimmer part is replaceable, but the pilot is all one piece, with a threaded...

Thanks for the comments. The dimensions are 60" wide, 28-1/2" high, and the top is 18" deep. I built it so my elbow would be at the same height as the centers. Now I need to build a nice wide...

I searched this and a few other forums for stand ideas. I could not settle on anything for sure. I did not see a lot of pics with minis with an extension. Just 2x4s and a 1-1/2 inch ply top. I made...
