The tires were so badly cracked, I didn't try any blade on them. The tires were crowned. I noticed the new tires do not have much if any crown. I do believe you hit on the issue. I will check to...

Been a long time since I have posted on here. I picked up a pristine Delta HomeCraft 28-110 10 inch bandsaw. I replaced the old tires with new urethane ones. The old 1/3 hp motor once I replaced...

I recently picked up a very nice Delta 22-650 planer. It had been sitting for some time. I cleaned the beast up, changed the gear oil and I am about to change the blades. I ground down a 13mm...

Nice job Tony!

Great job Tony. Hope to see more from you.

Andy,

I am impressed. I have been up to my knees in shavings, but wow:eek:

Thanks Tony for both the comments and the cherry. The tools I bought from C.A. are very nice. We may need to give them a try on Wed.

After purchasing a hollowing tool system, my first attempt didn't fare so well. I ended up with single sided vase:( . But the second attempt, I manage a nice little cherry vase. Comments for...

Mine is Sonofa, which is usually what is said in any turning session.

Spectacular. Maybe someday I'll approach that skill level. Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular

In the process of making a decision, I ran across Behemoth Woodturning Tools. Anyone heard of these?

Lee,

Thanks for sharing. The are absolutely beautiful. While I doubt my skill will match yours, this method will certainly help whittle down my scrap pile.

Both sets are out of the park.

Big thank you to everyone for the kind comments. Since, I have been turning a little over a year the information I receive here and my local club has helped push my personal limits.

Indeed; however, I need to check on my life insurance policies. SWMBO will use the monster on me and then the scorpion to hollow me out.;)

I know this beating a dead horse again, but I have narrowed my next tool purchase to a hollowing system. In particular, I am considering Don Pencil's Scorpion or Monster tools system. I will at the...

Bernie,
I absolutely love the piece. Did you use a capture rig with the monster tool?

Top notch.

Nice work. I really like the rim.

Great form. The opening fits well with the rest of the piece. Thanks for sharing.

Here is another shot. Sorry about the dog hair:o The form is 3" tall, 3.5" at the base and 1.5" at the opening. I sanded it to 600 grit and used the three step beall process using 2" mops. The...

I use Amzoil bar and chain oil. It is expensive, but it clings extremely well to the chain.

This was extremely tough to turn. It maybe my last attempt to turn a piece of red oak. Not only did I end up with black hands from the oak, but I had to dodge numerous pieces of bark during the...

This is my first hollow form using Sorby's 200KT. Spalted beech and beall buffed.
