Geez, if any joint I made was .01" in tolerance I think it would be time to jump up and dance (with the machines OFF). We're talking wood here which expands and contracts much more than that. I'm...

What the heck. If you can spare the $20 and use it to learn what can be a very complicated procedure, why not?
It'd be pretty nifty to replace the stock laminate that Delta supplies; especially if it can accomodate the Biesemeyer fence.
Nice posting!
We've just had a great experience with Michael Morgan in PA. The shipping cost is minimal and the wood quality is top notch. On top of it, Mike is a great guy. ...
I think I have just found a soulmate.
Been looking into a CNC router so I called Ian Strouse at Hermance Machine. He had a technical representative their premier supplier here: http://www.technocnc.com .
It seems as if we are...
You'd be surprised at what you can find if you dig around a bit. There are lots of folks who have wood stashed here and there. Don't be afraid to look under a rock or two as you will never know...
Since the Wood Nazis here demand pictures, I'll try to post one. What we got this time was 1200 bft of mostly oak with a tad of maple, 6/4 and thinner. The guy had cut it and dried it in a radiant...
Make speed bumps that work?
Sorry, really shouldn't have said that.
What I saw was a bowl, if you look at it from the top, that was about 4" x 6" oval.
Sorry I didn't describe it well.
After many years of building furniture, I am screwing around with turning bowls, which I have concluded is the world's Second Oldest Profession.
Last night I saw what appeared to be a turned oval...

I'm going to ask you to think twice about buying the SawStop.
It's an expensive proposition. Posted here before about this; my point is this:
The idea with a TS is DO NOT PUT YOUR HANDS...
This has the potential of the bar fight between Ford and Chevvy pickup truck owners.
Part of the deal here is the scale of your shop, how you buy your wood, the amount of work you do and the type...
Thanks for the tips and advice.
When a guy doesn't know anything at all, everything is of assistance!
One final tip: If you are rounding out a chunk of oak, wear gloves. I got a...
Tom:
I have some green Cherry burl and was thinking about trying that. I did an Apple burl but it pretty much blew up on me. I guess you have to soak it in magic juice. What is "DNA them?"
...
Thanks Tom. These bowls are # 3, 4, 5 of all the bowls I have ever turned. One of the things I found out very quickly is that when you go deeper than say, about an inch from the tool rest, it gets...
This is from some butternut I would have thrown away...
This is the laminated walnut/maple bowl
This is a walnut chamber pot bowl.
Bernie: Lemme see if I can do this later on; (Gotta get all those splinters out of my hands first...^&*()&&^).
Thanks.
Paul Engle is the guy who got me started with all of this. There are no PICTURES because they don't look 1/10th as good as what else is shown here. Paul has emailed, PM'd and called me on the...
There was a thread somewhere which I can't find where a guy was asking about gluing up walnut. He got a bunch of fancy glue answers.
Of course, I went ahead and glued up two 2 x 8 " blocks with a...

I just glued up some blocks for turning with Elmer's last night and we'll see how it works. They are laminated with maple (more porous). If it all comes apart at 1,000 RPM I'll know it didn't work.
