    'Links to other public or private forums are not allowed.'

    This is the one I could never figure out. What's wrong with linking to another forum?

    Sam, congratulations on your new Robust lathe. I saw those in KC and was duly impressed by their machine. #7, eh? I'm sure that each of their first lathes will be extra well made, as they try to...

    Here's something you might try

    Carol, I was looking for the same kind of thing to sand the insides of my hollows as well, when I came upon this idea over on WC. Not sure if links are allowed here, if so, give this a read. If...

    I've had my 1632 for over a year and have not experienced the kind of noise you describe (except when I left the knock-out bar in the headstock - but you haven't done that, have you). I'd have it...

    Dave, any chance you get some pics so we all could 'see everything'? I've used your procedure a few times with good results, but the more 'closed' a piece is, the more trouble I seem to have with...

    Glen, very nice bowl. I like the burned accent line very much.

    Like Jim and Steve, I've broken the factory tool rest on my 1014. Wasn't a big catch, but I was out towards the end of the rest. The factory tool rest for this lathe has not had a good history. ...

    I have one with a brown handle (Crown?) and use it as much as Steve does, that is for almost every cut in the bowl making process.

    The jig was a no brainer for me. That much for a tool, I want to...

    I was aware of David's classes at his home, but as I'm in Nebraska, the trip would be a stretch on my resources.

    Kansas, now that's different! Even if it's only for...

    Scott and/or Jack, could you supply me with some additional info on this class? I'm assuming it's around the time of the AAW show. Is it limited/full? This would be something I could swing if the...

    That's a beaut!

    Beatiful piece Brad! I really like that you incorporated the entire crotch into the work. I've got some pieces that scream to look like that. I'm saving this pic to my 'Forms to shoot for' folder....

    James, I'm assuming you are sealing up your 'green' blanks somehow. That should help minimize cracking while they dry. If not, grab some green wood sealer (Anchorseal) asap and coat at least the...
