The point of the live/dead center mounted in the tailstock must align with the centerline of the spindle. Just having the tailstock center touch a center mounted in the headstock means nothing. If...

My wife and I were in Coos Bay earlier this week, and stopped at Mo's in Newport as we drove up to Astoria. She (her heirs, anyway) have also opened restaurants in Cannon Beach and in Florence, I...

Nice reticulation, Wally.

A slight wobble in the drill bit will not be noticable, but will result in a larger hole.
Beware of the slight wobble.

I have the same saw, and it is my only RAS. The 9" blades are difficult to find, but I did finally find a Systematic blade at a sharpener that works great.
The saw is quite precise, but will not rip...

Today I received my pen from Alton Folsom, and it is drop-dead beautiful. It is a Baron, I think, and appears to have platinum fittings. I'm guessing it is a dyed maple, but am not sure. Anyway, it...

Do you think this is true?

Count me in.

If any of you people ever come to my shop, you're not getting out of sight for even a second.

I was selling pens once somewhere, and a woman stopped to look at them. We talked a bit, and she said something that rang a bell to me. When I asked if she were Ron Ainge's wife, she looked shocked...

You can't beat the smell of Olive in the morning!

I suggest finding another pen turner local to you, and ask him to let you watch him turn a pen. Then ask him if you can try your hand at it.

Absolutely do not sand malachite. I would avoid working with it altogether.

I brought several mesquite boards and cutoffs back from central Texas a couple of weeks ago, and found small piles of sapwood sawdust in the back of my pickup. The guy who gave me the wood said it...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but....
I'd like to buy some velcro in widths of at least five inches. The only sources I have found offer it only in rolls of 25 yards, which is far more than I...

I'm in Tejas on bidness right now, but look forward to seeing the pen Jon made. That is, if mia sposa hasn't claimed it!
Anyone need some mesquite? I saw about three cords stacked up today. Sad, but...

What finally worked was to press the "FN" key and the "F4" key at the same time.
Maybe this will be of help to other list members who want to do this.
Thanks,

Can I connect a laptop with an S-video port to a tv with an S-video port with an S-video cable and show photos on the tv?
I tried this with nothing showing up on the tv. The laptop has Windoz XP and...

OK, Chris, I’ll be the jerk here. Here are the most obvious things....

“Woodturner’s” should be “Woodturners’”
At the top of the page, you call your club “Lone Star Woodturner’s Association”....

Wow! Looks like others have had this problem. I'll check out those sites. Now there is another problem: my photos are about 1.5 meg in size and I need a program to resize them en masse, again without...

I want to share some photos with friends and have tried Snapfish and Flickr. The problem I have with these two sites is that they both rearrange the photos and put them in alphabetical order by name....

I almost deleted my first post because I thought someone might interpret it as demeaning to the opinion of the original poster. It was not meant to be and I'm glad no one has (apparently) interpreted...

Man, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there is no woman from a tv station. The woman who called is a friend of your wife's, who is sick and tired of your mess.
Trust me on this - I...

What's wrong with a kid learning woodworking skills/industrial arts from his or her father, rather than from a school?

"Anyway, I feel great, I see great and by god, I AM GREAT!!!"

No apology needed. I know exactly how you feel. Wearing glasses all the time is a PITA. Your only regret will be that you didn't do...
