Ok, so as I am rolling through this journey called wood turning, I have found one thing I need to figure out how to do better...

Finishing spindles...be they bottle stoppers, pens, etc..etc...

Have you considered starting off with something like Etsy?

Don't get me wrong, I think a static web page where you can put up examples of work and the like are great, but I believe I would...

Oh wow Steve...that's some beautiful stuff...probably too pretty for what I'm doing...LOL, but I'll put it to work.

Thank you, thank you very much

Well it's not so much BACK into turning, as finally getting to do things with items I've purchased over the years...*laugh*

I'm going to speak with tree trimmers as well and do some research on...

Thank you to everyone...

Interesting note, the only hardwood lumberyard I know of, that sells exotics of any variety, charges the same bf for cut offs they do for full length lumber.

On the...

See...as I'm literally just gettiing back into things, I didn't even know this existed. I see a whole new set of monthly stuff for me to attend, and upset the love of my life with new things for the...

Tim, thank you that is all good information...

I've been avoiding the retailers as paying a premium for what will likely end up as practice pieces makes me a little uneasy.

Ebay seems to have a...

Seems life has a way of distracting you from the important things...

Bill, Thank you for your quick response...

I'll pull out a toothbrush and some WD40 in the next few days and see if I can't find something more about those two planes.

And now that I know what...

So I picked up the last of my grandfather's tools and the mahogany mantle from my great grandfather's house (built in the twenties) yesterday. Problem is with these hand tools I have no idea. Pop...

I will have to give this a shot...

As for weight...this has occurred at the top of the easel, the majority of the weight will be held at the bottom...were it the other way around I would have no...

Well I must not have paid close enough attention...let me give you some background...

Building a very heavy duty artists easel that can support marble/granite slabs. This is for a good friend of...

Thank you both...

Perhaps I misunderstood the original suggestion, I was thinking of a riser for the lathe itself, at least until I can figure out how to make an adjustable bench...

I was...

Well I appreciate all the support and ideas...

I may very well go with a riser block system for this beast for now, at least to get it started.

After reading through this I went back to...

We had this problem as well...see my other post about HDMI Cables...

Try switching over to RGB and see if it keeps happening.

We no longer have the problem...but then again, thinking about...

We've had UVerse for about 2 years now, and have loved it.

I spend a little over $200 a month for cable and internet (I don't think there is a cable package we don't have...and I've got a 12G...

I originally joined SMC several years back when I bought a Palmgren Lathe on Amazon...what a fiasco that turned out to be. I'm sure some folks made them work well, but for me it was just bad. Two...

Nicely done...I'm looking for much the same kind of equipment...so I guess that means I am a bit jealous...

That's why I was going to find old steel if I went the way of...

Archie...thanks for the input...

The Adria is a bit outside of the price range I intended to spend on my good friend...but he is a friend...but I'm not sleeping with him...*laugh*
