Has anyone combined these two? I'd like to know what parts, etc. are required.

Thanks.

The largest selection of used cameras is at keh.com. Adorama also has some. Craigs list and online forums are other places to look.

The best sharpening video I have seen yet is Cindy Drozda's newest video, Finial Star.

It is only a segment, not that long, but she goes into detail on how to sharpen on the platform and on the...

I can't believe I'm reading a thread where woodturners are saying that anyone ever has enough tools!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Seriously, Jamie, let me echo what others have said. The issue at your...

+1 for sharp. That is critical.


There are lots of skews. Brand makes little difference unless you want to move into harder steels than M2. In this case, cheaper is probably better.

3/4 inch...

What do you turn?

Talk to Christian at Woodworkers Emporium in Las Vegas. Have to call as the website does not allow ordering. He is the US distributor for Vicmarc lathes and chucks and will get you fixed up in no...

+1 for the local club recommendation. IMHO, there are twice as many approaches to sharpening as their are turners in the discussion (kind of like a lightbulb joke). You need to find a particular...

The HF lift table will handle the bed easily -- mine handles the bed with the headstock and tailstock and tool rest and legs all attached -- whenever I want to move the 3520, I just move the stocks...

IMHO, get the 3520 and don't look back. Every time I bought a tool that might possibly be underpowered, I ended up deciding to do something that I hadn't thought of up front that required more power...

That wouldn't happen to be a big heavy yellow thing, would it?

Dan sells already roughed-out blanks that are kiln-dried. You can just true up the tenon and...

Really beautiful work!!!!! If you don't mind sharing, I'd be interested in how you price them and what success/customer reaction you have.

It is true that if the misuse of a word continues long enough, and broadly enough, it will become acceptable. However, I doubt that the number of turners who misuse the word is large enough to...

John Jordan has a fascinating video == something like the Aesthetics and Properties of Wood in which he discusses drying issues at great length. Humidity of course has a great deal to do with how...

Please correct me if wrong, but it appears to me you have really asked two different questions? One has to do with hollowing end grain. The other has to do with how to hold the work while hollowing...

+ 1 on the HF hydraulic table. All you have to do is center the headstock, toolrest and tailstock, slide the table under the ways and use the foot pump and you can easily move the 3520 everywhere.

Congratulations Joe. Welcome to the Mustard world.

Others have posted on setting up the 3520 -- you might want to search and find some of the threads. It is extremely hard to do alone. It is...

If I understand your question correctly, leading with the long point on a curved skew is the same as leading with the long point on a straight skew. that is, the curve extends from the short tip...

Stephen,

Can you spend half an hour or so with someone who's a really good sharpener?

IMHO that is the best cure for what ails you. It is true that practice makes perfect -- if you're...

A skew is a negative rake scraper without modification of any kind. If you raise a burr on one edge of the skew and make that the top, it is a negative rake scraper with a burr.

Make any scraper...

I think I understand it -- I'm having a very difficult time articulating it.

Let me try it this way -- in a conventional scraper, the burr is always on a surface parallel to the surface on which...

I had a chance to discuss with Stu Batty last night and he explained concisely to me why a conventional scraper will never perform as a negative rake no matter the angle. The geometry that makes...

I'm afraid I don't understand the geometry well enough to explain it. It is definitely a gentler, non-grabby tool. I think you would have to point a conventional scraper down so far it would be...

Mike,

I will look forward to your report. I just received the woodcut (New Zealand) cup hollowing tool, which has a round hss bit (made for carbide replacement in my view!) set at a trailing...

Ironically, Raffan only uses Vicmarc (dovetailed jaws) chucks.
