I've turned on three machines, an old Delta 1/2 horse power 12" swing, a PM3520, and a One Way. The one way was a great machine, but I have to say I like the 3520b better. I'm 6'7" tall the Pm is set...

Welcome to the club, congrats...Bru
For roughing bowls with no need to sharpen you can't beat Ci1, I do love my Doug Thompson gouges though....Bruce
Heck Mike funnels are easy to make...there just a pain when you aren't planning on making one! Nice job, got a good laugh out of it...Thanks Bruce
Matt I just picked up Don Pencils bowl buff's both sizes they are inexpensive. I like it for bowls and HF better then my beal system. Just my 2cents....Bruce
Bill's second video is as good as his first, can't wait he has a third in the works...Bruce
Dana I like doing a lot of my larger HF through the end grain, mount my log and spin away.
Bowl blanks...
Thanks Phillip it sounds like it going to be fun to play with.
Thanks Denny I am going to start with two lights, the clip on reflector type.
Thanks Dan, great blog, what a neat way to show off...
Thanks Toney can't wait for the tent to get here....Bruce
Thanks David I agree the light ring didn't sound like something I would need or want. Thanks for the info. I did do a series of 5 miniature mesquite hollow forms the smallest is about 1/3 the size of...
Bret life is good! Congrats on the new lathe enjoy...Bruce
Thanks again for the great info, should be a fun adventure. Just got back from the Doc's should be able to get back to turning next week. Can't wait for the tent to arrive. I will have enough to keep...
Thanks Neal for the picture, "worth a thousand words". I just thought since I'm laid up for a couple weeks I'd try to improve my photography skills (or large lack of skill). I have to run to the foot...
Thanks Scott, I'm a Linux user so I've played with Gimp for years, great program. Thanks for the lighting and camera tips..looks like I will have a lot to read and play with while my foot heals up....
Thanks Steve I have been running through a lot of the old posts, I'll look up Brian's post. Thanks For your help...Bruce
Jon it might be small, but it is sure great looking wood. Very nice job...Bruce
Since I'm laid up at the moment, and can't be on my feet for another week or two. I decided it was time to learn to photograph my projects a little better. I just ordered from HF a 32" collapsible...
The one thing I learned from Wally Dickerman in the private lesson I took. Wally leaves the caps off his CA. Since I started doing that I have not had a clogged tip. The air allows the CA to return...
Mike you might want to check out Joe Woodworkers Site, Lots of info on vacuum pumps, also a great veneer source. Have some good prices and DIY vacuum systems. I got my Gast pump with veneer bag brand...
Hihel I have turned a few lidded boxes, all green out of mesquite. Only one showed signs of movement over the past few months. The one that moved had a large bark inclusion in it. I should have...
I'm with Bernie, I also bought three of the cheap HF drills. I'm still using the first one. I had read about Souix's problem with dust. Easier and cheaper to toss a $20 drill in the trash than to pay...
Joshua its not a real bad spot your in either way you jump you end up with a PM 3520b! How bad can it be? Have fun and good luck....Bruce
Wilbur I have not missed the extra few inches. I do mostly bowls and HF's. With the sliding head stock, I remove the tail stock and turn my bowls off the end. Do you plan on doing large spindles? If...
Joshua after turning for only 3 months I took the plunge and bought a 3520b from Shawn at Toolnut. He was great to do business with. You will love the 2hp and variable speed. I know its a lot of...
