Actually think it looks pretty cool. Nice wood and interesting shape.
My daughter lives in east Africa and is considering a bed frame to be made by a local artisan. It's mahogany that has been ebonized via a steel wool in vinegar solution then finished with olive oil...
Thanks Greg and Richard for your comments. Must admit motors are a mystery to me but both the Rikon and Laguna appear to have DC motors; the Rikon is 1.5HP TEFC DC motor and the Laguna is Permanent...
Have a small shop and have been using a 10" Jet lathe with a bed extension for several years. Was poised to buy the 15" Laguna for about $2500 but just saw an ad for the Rikon 1420 benchtop for less...
Reed,
Good question and beyond my expertise! The product I have is labeled "Walrus Oil" and says it's "Made with Beeswax, Coconut oil, Pure Mineral Oil and Vitamin E. Apply thin layer of way, dry...
I bought a small container of Walrus Oil at a fair in Maine last summer. A vendor was touting it for use on cutting boards. Had not used it until yesterday. Had turned a cherry bowl about 7 inches in...
Have 8 handles leftover from a project. Gold and gray, 8.6" long with 7.5" between centers. Amazon sells them for $5 each if you buy 12 or $7.50 each if you buy two. Will sell the group of 8 for...
Or a home run!
John Jordan - I took your advice on Oofos some time ago and love them. Thanks. Also have PF issues and it took me forever to realize the problem was tight hamstring/achilles tendons. Stretching is...
Sad news. Found the following on Facebook; I don't have an account but was able to access this. Rick was very personable when I dealt with him a year ago and made a quality product. Wish his wife and...
Interesting Barry. Thanks. Think they need to be a little bigger for an urn though. Appreciate the response. You're a better searcher than I am! Cheers
About a year ago I bought a threaded set of 2 1/4" inserts for a pet urn from Rick at fromwalnuttoantlers.com. Worked and looked great. I liked them better than using the PVC couplings. Want to buy a...
Did anyone ever solve the problem of the belt slipping off as soon as the machine is turned on? I've adjusted all I can adjust and it still climbs right off the machine. Makes it useless.
Jon,
Really like the shape. As usual think the maker is the most critical reviewer. I thought they were great and that the "bleed" was a design feature! Cheers, Dave
Bought a brass fitting from Rick recently for a friend's pet's ashes (dog was about 15lbs when alive.) Rick was very helpful in answering my questions and the fittings were terrific. Was going to use...
Thanks again guys. To complete the story, I had found a website via a google search that sold the two bearings for a total of $70 plus shipping. That was before I posted the question. Based on the...
Thanks guys. Appreciate you sharing your expertise and taking the time to respond. Cheers, Dave
Looks like (actually sounds like!) I need to replace the bearings in my Jet JML-1014I. Anyone have experience with a reliable vendor or tips to share? Appreciate it.
Does the park have a professional arborist you can befriend?!?
Allan,
First and foremost I think you did a magnificent job. And, really, nothing wrong with it the way it sits. The matches on the feature ring are perfect and not easy to do. You should be very...
Steve - I bought the Optima 1 dual unit about 5 years ago and have been very pleased with it. I remember someone on line had listed and reviewed most of the available units and of course I can no...
There are a bunch of videos on You Tube re soundproofing. I just used Roxul (stone wool) as insulation; it's also fire resistent. For dry wall there's Quietrock and the less expensive Soundbreak XP....
Is that the only option? I just installed a mini-split. Smallish heat pump unit on the wall with lines to an small outside compressor. Mine is efficient down to 20 degrees F; there's a hyper version...
Either way, it's a beautiful piece. For my 2 cents I like the idea of a collar, especially a pretty flat one. That would give the piece a finished look consistent with the base without distracting...
