Folks,

Like just about everyone else, I too LOVE the fine, repeatable grind I get when using the Oneway Wolverine Grinding Jig. I was helping out with a Woodturning class at the NCSU Craft...

Keith,

I agree with Mac that this show is not likely to be in the same class as a major woodworking show. As he said, it is HARD to find ANY kind of WW show in the mid-Atlantic states.

...

As they say in my ancestral homeland (current day Czech Republic),
Happy Birthday!!

Here's to a great man who has helped so many!

Cheers,
Bob

Hey Jim,

Does that make Ken a "glue-turner"? ;) ;)

Cheers,
Bob - ducking to avoid the empty Bud Light bottle thrown by Ken ;-)

Keith,

How do Curly Maple(aka Fiddleback, Flame, Tiger stripe, etc.) or BirdsEye Maple compare to plain Maple? For that matter, do you all see much, if any, difference between the "soft"...

Keith,

I'm with Bill on this one. Handedness of the user should have little impact on the fact that the headstock is on the left and rotation of the spindle is counter-clockwise. This turns...

Folks,

The Craft Center (at a local University) where I do my pen-turning and other woodworking is looking to acquire 2 short-bed lathes for the bowl-turners amongst us. The woodshop director...

Ken,

I noticed that some of your pens have a diagonal bias to the grain. Was that on purpose or did you luck out with your blanks?

Cheers,
Bob

Allow me to join the crowd of JET Mini Lathe admirers!

I started woodturning in Feb of this year at the Craft Center on the NC State University campus. The Triangle Woodturners of North Carolina...

Kevin,

One more suggestion: Attend a local chapter meeting of American Association of Woodturners. Their web-site is here:

I checked for Southern...

Jim,
Ken DID sneak a Bud Lite into the picture. We just can't see because he's holding behind the "Old Rebel Workshop" sign. :D :D

Cheers,
Bob

Richard,

Won't a roughing gouge work just as well to round out the bowl blank to a cylinder? After that, obviously a turner must "turn" to bowl gouges for shaping. I've even seen some...

Mike,
We had a guest demonstrator at last month's meeting (July) of Triangle Woodturners of North Carolina. Soren Berger hails from New Zealand and took 30-45 minutes to turn a small hat (~6"...

I thought that the Corona was a new finishing technique. :D

Cheers,
Bob

Glen,

Bring it to Thursday's meeting of Triangle Woodturners of North Carolina (TWNC) for our "gallery". Every meeting, members and guests bring turned pieces for a gallery on a sideboard. We...

Back in the old days of the Internet, before a certain mr. gore claimed that he invented it, we had NetNews which supported "newsgroups". These were similar to e-mail, but used a different transport...

Kevin,

I thought Joe said that he used mortise & tenon joints. I don't see any nails in there? ;)

Cheers,
Bob

P.S. Ducking behind the workbench... :-)

Kevin,
You got a GREAT deal on that MForce drill/driver!! I was at the Depot a few weeks ago and saw that the shelf price was lowered from 169.00 to 159.00. I factored in the $20 rebate and...

Keith & Aaron,

I thought that a laser engraver could NOT handle round objects. Obviously, Ron's turned box takes a very nice engraving. I have a possible commission for a turned gavel. The...

As an Eagle Scout, let me extend my hearty congratulations to your son for completing such a worthy project!! I, like many other posters, am certain that the Board of Review is a mere formality at...

OK, Ken :)

Then, any work done with a bow lathe or a treadle lathe (hand-powered and foot-powered respectively) should be posted on the "Neanderthal Forum", right? ;)

Just a minor quip to...

Several members here have questioned the policy of removing links to other forums. Perhaps this is related to the fact that search engines, especially Google, use links to "quantify" & "qualify"...

Folks,

I knew that I would get some good ideas from my fellow woodworkers here at SawMillCreek! :cool:

John: Yes, the underside of the clip is one of the less obtrusive places. I've...

Joe,
Thanks for offering to help!

I ordered some kits from Berea Hardwoods last month and got a newsletter update. They are now offering some gold-plated initials which fit into the...

Folks,

We have a wide variety of backgrounds, knowledge and interests here at SawMillCreek. I have a question I've been "pond"ering for a while :-)

How and where would *you* put a...
