Thanks Darren for setting me straight.
Glad they didn't do birdhouses or something else as someone would rip them for doing something with wood. Or if they sent money, they would possibly be ripped...

Ok, shame on me for agreeing, but many other things out there are copycat versions and it is nothing to get upset about. As long as the troops get the benifit, I don't see a huge problem. Yes,...

Lookin at the middle photo. Looks like a bad catch did you in. I have had catches using tenion that don't break like you have but has dismounted from the tenion sometimes from the chuck. It then gets...

Naptha comes from crude oil and Methyl Hydrate from bacteria. Combining oil distillates should not be a problem, but combining oil distillates with other fuels such as you have, probably not bad, but...

Wow, would like to know how you turned the locked rings onto each other like that.

Anyone ever see one of these used? I am about to get hollower and looking at this but not sure how well it works other than the video. Pros or Cons?

Sweetgum is great. Turns great and have beautiful granes and colors. Project looks great.

Absolutely Beautiful. Would love to see how you did that. It is great. Congrats.

That would make a lot of Sassafras tea also (from the roots). The dryed leaves also make Gumbo File (pronounced feelay from us southern cajans).
Everything good on those trees.

You can easily cut the blanks using a band saw as they don't have to be square anyway as you will square them up later using the barrel trimmer. Just cut them a little oversize. Many times while...

I don't have one of these, but have seen them in action and would love to get me one of these http://www.artwooddesigns.com/powercrafter.html. It is much higher speed than the dremels and feels more...

I recently made a set of 8 goblets out of Gum and finished with spray laquer. These are for show only, but I have a couple of more that me and the wife have drank out of and have never see a problem...

The other post is correct. The long tube is used on part where pen refill goes into and short goes into part where clip is attached. I don't normally need to glue the center band as is a very tight...

I redid my kitchen 5 years ago and did them myself and kept the soffit or as we call them here, fur-down. It is small and made out of wood. It is a great place to use lighting(I used smaller can...

Can't blame him however. If he paid for all upgrades himself, he has no security that he would ever get the first drum. If he did all this, he could just purchase all equipment and hire a person to...

Looks great. Love the photo of it also. Brings out the beauty.

Sorry, wish I have a lathe big enough to give it a try but the wait for the whole process which includes the drying, would be long. Most people do not have a kiln dryer handy and unless done...

Not very good at giving reviews, but for a short look at machine, this is what I found comparing it with my old Delta Midi lathe. It came pretty much all together and ony had to make a few...

What is that you used for the slide that the wheel attaches too? I like it.

I used about 4 coats of Watco Danish Oil and did the Beall buffing and wasn't happy with finish. I let dry about two weeks and wiped with laquer thinner, sanded and sprayed laquer with multi coats...

Removing the rubber feet guarantees no movement due to rubber expanding or shrinking due to weather conditions or other factors.

I did not measure the grinder from the end of table and works...

Thanks, I tried a Sharpie before spraying Laquer and dissapeared and the ink melted into wood. Not good results. Could only dream of a laser. Will try the fold pen, sound reasonable.

Newbie to this site. How are most of you guys or gals signing your work. Using a felt tip? Burning? Laser? Just wondering.
