I have turned and sold about 60 pens in the last 2-1/2 months. Pen turning was new to me and was quite a bit of fun. Made a few and gave to family members. Well one day my sister said a...

Billy,

Nice job, spalting looks great. I just did my a job for a friend. The piece was a western redwood root about 11" long that was picked up on a vacation out west many years ago. His mom...

Rustoleum has a waterbase exterior spar varnish that I buy at Lowe's. It puts a nice finish on your projects and dries totally clear. I love the fact that it's waterbase and I don't need...

Great job. I watched the video and will try to turn a project soon. In your pics, it looks like duct tape was used. In the video, Dwayne Collwell-Inside out turning, he uses filament tape...

Kyle and Larry,

I use a parting tool to score through the plastic shell to wood. I then use my small skew( a chisel also works) to cut across the plastic bands created with the parting tool. I usually...

Hello to all,

Being new to this forum and not really doing much lathe work since 1958, I completed a few projects on my new Delta Midi. I now have most everything for turning and only need the...

Fostner bit for the small hole and if the budget allows, a Lenox 4" holesaw with speed slot plus you will need a 2L or 3L arbor(under $100 for both). If you are going to drill a lot of 4" holes over...
