Thanks, I'm going to continue with the project and if it doesn't work out, it will be a fantastic learning experience and practice run.

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
for the record I did use the dark glue, hopefully that helps somewhat. All in all I think it'll turn out fine after working with the pieces today, but it...

Hey guys. Pulled this piece out of the press this morning and there is some shiny spots. It's walnut burl. I've tried my card scraper but it doesn't seem to be very effective. I also CAREFULLY went...
I get them from my lumber guy, he has a big crate of stuff for turners that comes off of trees he mills or that he's collected over time. Prices are unbelievably low. Just glad I know the guy.
If you don't like them, I'll take them! I have none yet :cool:
I recently had this dilemma. I actually bought the 55, and while it was in the mail I had such regret that I immediately returned it and order the TS75. For me, I just figured I'd spend a little...
Dennis, last night we went over our Christmas gift list and budget, luckily I finished a few projects to fill up the list, but Christmas is approaching fast!
My wife and I found a nice dining...
That is pretty interesting to me.. I'd be interested to see if they can solve what I've always hated about those saws in the substandard fence...
If it is high quality, I think it would be awesome...
I got a good laugh out of this, thanks!
Dale, wow, great job! I love the grain and especially the finish. Magnifique!
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the positive feedback, but again I can't take credit for how nice it turned out, I had great guidance! After I get my name in the bottom of the Redwood burl and get it...
Do you have a router and dovetail bits?
For whatever reason when I first watched the video, I didn't catch that tool rest either. I thought it really was "freehand". Master at work, for sure. I found myself wondering whether his shop is as...
Thanks, Tim. I'm torn between keeping it and giving it to a loved one for Christmas. I've git some time to decide, maybe I'll just make 5 more before Christmas and keep this one.
Weird. I just made a joke to my buddy today about "freehand turning". I didn't know it was standard practice for some!
Amazing video though, a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing, Jay.
Although this was my first bowl, I had a LOT of help from my turning mentor Matt, both coaching and physically showing me the right way to do it. I'm hooked.
Claro Walnut is finished with...
I don't see many Hammer A3 31's on craigslist though!
Thanks for the encouragement.
I did download an app on my iPhone that was supposed to notify me of new posts in my saved searches, but I didn't get any notifications!
It'll be alright,...
Here in southern Alabama used jointers seem to be few and far between. In the last two weeks I missed two awesome deals on 8" Grizzlys by an hour or two.
I can't stay on Craigslist all day long!...
Honed and sharpened all my hand tools. They needed it.
While it's not too helpful, I recall going to a lumber yard with my brother to pick up some ash. It was somewhere near Groveland, FL. We drove 20 minutes to get there so somewhere around Apopka.

So you're saying screw the cleats in from the backside?
You're right on point. I'm more concerned with cleats to plywood.
Thanks!
