Thanks all. I'll let you know how it works out. Mom-in-law stopped today with a small project to make 8 doll cradles for a craft fair by 9/1. I made the templates tonight (well maybe this morning)...

My daughter was with me a few weeks ago while I was picking up some pen parts at the local Woodcraft and grabbed a arylic pen blank out of a discount bucket. Of course, now she wants the pen. Any...
Hi Dave,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Having lost a family member not too long ago, I find that words come up really short in these situations. We lose, we experience greif and confusion, we...
Nice job Dick. Walnut is fun to work with. Just can't seem to get my hands on much of it in this corner of the world.
I was trying to follow your chucking sequence. I use the supernova as well...
Love the finish. Looks like there is water in the bottom of the bowl.
One of the nicer shade trees that was left on my property by the lumber guys I purchased it from, a red birch, finally gave in. It had been clipped by a landscaper's bulldozer a little over a year...
I've become a bit partial to Bartley's Gel Varnish on Cherry. It goes on easily and since it is a gel it does not absorb as fast as normal wiping varnish. This seems to eliminate most of the...
I settled on a personal MP3 player rather than going the route of trying to install some old stereo equipment in the shop. Stereo equipment and the shop environment just don't seem to be a good...
I have hot water baseboard heating in my shop. I have not had any problems with it whatsoever. I blow it out with a compressor 2-3 times a year when I'm in a cleaning mood. I don't see how there...
Waymon,
Having recently lived through (still living through) a family tragedy I can say that I'm sure her parents appreciate the thoughtfullness of such a gift. Great idea, great work, and thanks...
Sorry Ken, I was laughing by the end of the first paragraph. It sounds like you had one of those days when it just might have been better to stay in bed ... I would have said sit around and watch...
Too bad it's a Chevy :)
I wonder how much snow you need to get to make $31,000 doing driveways with this thing? Let's see ... at $30/visit (going rate around here) .... that's about 1000...
Does anyone use one of these? It would seem like a pretty good pen turning lathe. MT #1 isn't comatible with my large lathe but for pens (and kids that like pens) this might be a grab. The price...
I'm not sure exactly what to say after reading 3 pages of well deserved praise. My first impression was "oh wow". My second, third, and subsequent ones were more OH WOW! The inlay is brilliant. I...
I also agree with the comments about selling at work. By just talking about the hobby I've managed to hook up with a few people who come back each year for something. It puts a few dollars back...
Nice looking work Julie. I also like the effect on the doors being raised on both sides. Are the sides solid or ply?
Maybe I'm the odd guy out here. I use Mylands friction polish. Put on a light application with the lathe stopped. Don't be to liberal. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Put some on a rag, spin up the...
Thanks to everyone for the many responses. I didn't go back and count the "votes" but it sure seems like I ought to take a look at the DeWalts.
Thnaks again,
Ed
But I noticed it was DeWalt yellow Ken :)
Like Dave says, go take a look. Find out why the person selling it is doing so. Could be that the 5HP saw is being replaced with a Felder or something like that. I purchased by drum sander from a...
My current "grey" 9.6v drill/driver seems to be slowly biting the dust and the vendor has been less than helpful in getting it repaired since they have moved on to bigger and supposedly better...
Nice looking job Bill. Just like Jim says, the top is impressive. I probably would have blown it up with my luck at hollowing things out. :(
Left you a PM the other day. Were you in Milford...
At about 7AM this morning I look up from my coffee and find that a few turkeys have decided that it would be a nice time to emerge from the woods and take a stroll on my lawn. The temptation to have...
Nice work Jim. The shape is right on in my opinion. I like the top/bottom proportions general contour of the whole thing. Between this one and the one from about a week ago you're giving me all...
Hi,
I'm also in the market for a bench to replace the one I built out of 2x's and MDO many years ago. I've used the bench you're looking at at a woodworking school and was not impressed. My...
