I was at Craftsupplies in Provo last week looking at lathes. Sitting all together where you could make comparisons was a PM3520B, Vicmarc 300, Robust AB and Sweet 16, Oneway 1640, Jet 1642, and a few...

I've also done quite a few goblets with interlocked captive rings. One bit of advice....turn at least 3 rings, more if you have room on the stem. Not all attempts to interlock are successful so it's...

Hopefully things will get better. They usually do.
John, mix..pour all you want. The fiber mesh idea is good. But the most essential key to making the new steps stand up to the Connecticut winter is using an air entrained cement when you mix your...
I agree with this. I've subscribed to CR for 20+ years and over that period I've found that the problems I've had with vehicles is almost always mirrored in the CR reliability charts. I happen to be...
Also try listing things on the Sawmill Creek classifieds ..http://www.sawmillcreek.org/forumdisplay.php?10-SawMill-Creek-Classifieds or the AAW want ads site.
I thought the same thing when I saw this. Jack, that's a beauty. The bark layers really look good in contrast with the light sapwood. Walnut has so much personality. You hit on about all of it with...
Thanks everyone!
Some really crazy figured Cottonwood. Not all Cottonwood is this nice but when you get a piece that is, it sure is pretty stuff. The bowl is just under 12", 5 1/2" tall. The servers are walnut and...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate the nice comments.
Doug, this piece of wood was at my local green waste dump. I've collected wood there for years until last summer when they told me I couldn't do it...
In this woodturning vortex, we seem to always try to go a little bigger, hollow a little deeper, get a bigger lathe, you all know the story. I recently came by some wood dump cottonwood that had so...
John, I agree with your comment 100%. And I would also add that I think we sometimes get so caught up in the technical aspects, including wall thickness, that we loose sight of the artistic qualities...
That gouge (or any other tool) that has a comfortable handle and feels good in your hands, has good balance, is sharp and is sharpened with the grind that your muscle memory recognizes as it moves...
I bought a new 2013 Toyota Highlander in August. They come with free service for the first 2 years or 25,000 miles at 5,000 mile intervals. I just took it in for the first service at 4800 miles (we...
First liar doesn't have a chance!:D:D

I don't know where you'd find that lumber in your area. But who is your friend? Paul Bunyan? That's gonna be a heck of a baseball bat!

The late, great Andy Hoyt (RIP) nick named the Sorby swan necked tool the "Hollow Bastard". And for good reason! After getting the crap beat out of me for several years by mine, I knocked the handle...
There are way more good people in the world, from any generation, than bad. It's just that we tend to notice the bad, or at least have them pointed out to us everyday. You can't ignore the bad, but...
I believe it depends on whether or not we love our pets. Around our house we get a little carried away with affection for our critters and I think they respond in kind.
Most 159's are 12", I happen to have a 159a that is 14". For me, most of my turning is in the <10" range. So the Talon has been great for me. If you were going to turn a lot of bowls that are 12" or...
I turn on a 159 and I use a Talon exclusively. I think it's strong enough to hold anything you might turn on that lathe. I use the #2 jaws most the time but also have the #3 and Step Jaws. Oneway has...
I can't remember the last time I bought just two tires, but after reading some of the other reasons and watching the video it makes sense. On a related note, I was in a tire store the other day and...

Heck of a good idea!
