    I own both a Jet 1014 mini VS and a Delta 46-460 Midi and both are good lathes, but I highly recommend the new Delta. It is far and away superior in features, such as larger VS range (250-4000), 1...

    It is my thought that all of this wood has the probability of having very interesting, if not spectacular grain. Especially, since it is stump wood. There is highly possible that there are all...

    To my eyes, the vessel looks fine in it's up and down symmetry, but the leading edge of the collar stands a bit tall and interrupts the curve of the piece. If possible, I would rework the edge and...
