Jon, Raptor tools are very helpful when your sharpening several tools at different angles. They keep the angle consistant as the wheel wears down. The only thing that I didn't care for was the shape...

Dan, First of all very nice job!!! Only advise I could give you is to check out Cidy Drozda's website, DVD and her vortex tool. She is the finial master. Her DVD and vortex tool have helped me 10...
Harvey, I've owned the Oneway for several years and like it. My advise if you go the Oneway route is to decide what size cores you want then buy only that size/sizes. I bought two knifes and only use...
Craft Supply under the "New Products" section has a new Long Grind Jig which looks like it increases the wings on a swept back gouge. Has anyone tried one out? I've pretty much gone back to an 8"...
Allen, take a look at the Hollow-Pro Tools sold through Craft Supply. I use them in a captive system moldeled after a Jamieson system. The Jamieson can be home built if your a metal worker or have a...
Steve, very nice form and figure. You'll have to display it so it show off the crotch wood. Moving, I wouldn't want to think about that. My equipment is all in the cellar. Came down the stairs one...
Top shelf Steve, Its was a long wait but I'm sure it was worth it. I see you got the tailstock swing away option. The basement shop explains the carpet on the floor. The flatwork side of my basement...
VERY nice Kathy, Love the shape of your HF. And the other two pieces...
Going to give BLO a try on my next project. (thanks for the replay)
I've been cutting up bowl blanks and HF blanks this...
Lee, nice bowl and a good call on passing on the other cracked bowl. I wear a hard hat with a face shield always while turning, just in case something flys off!!!! Was rough turning a batch of maple...
Bill, nice job on the HF. I like the shape and have done several that look almost the same.
(took your advise on my photo tent backround and replaced the red with some white poster board from...
Baxter, sure makes a good case for coring!!!! Like the copper wire stitch work.
Kathy, nice job on positioning the bowl bank right from the start. after seeing this bowl I'm going to take a look at BOL. It sounds like you apply the BLO first then top coat with a sealer, I'll...
Now that makes a tool rack full of TOP quality tools, I'm a big fan as well of the Glaser tools and Paulo!!!
Wow thats a huge tree to fell!!! I picked up the first load of Sugar Maple today on the way home from work. The tree was very healthy but growing into the power lines so power company had it taken...
Nice job John, people always seem drawn to delicate forms like this. The red against the black is a good choice in color.
Wow, the bowls shape and wood are really nice. I hope you have more of that wood hidden away...
Dan, you can find Peter's web site @ www.woodshades.com If you think they look good on his site you should see them up close!!!!!!
Dan, went to a demo that Peter Bloch (I think thats his name) put on where he turned lamp shades out of poplar. He leaves them in log lengths to spalt for a season then turns them very very thin.....
Kathy, both posts with the before and after sunlight show off nice form and choice of wood. Nice work!!
Thanks for all the nice comments and advise I'll apply it to the next one.
Alan, your right thats a roughing gouge. I'll bet your going to love that combo with Doug's handle. I've got a 1-1/4" P&N RSG in a Kelton collect handle that handles really nice in part becaue of the...
Kenny, nice work on the pens and that curly maple bowl is way too nice to do anything with except display it!!!
Donny, now thats going to make a pretty bowl when its done. I've used DNA in the past with good results as well.
Thats beautiful Mike, theres hours of work in this piece. Really like the feature ring. Thanks for showing
I received a new 10V Glaser a couple of weeks ago and wanted to share my thoughts on the tool.
I will start this thread off by saying this is NOT a comparison meant to plug one tool over another,...
