I would love to know how they prepare the blades for these competitions. To take a sub .001 shaving, about 4" wide is certainly a feat. Is the blades bevel ground on a machine? Is the blade...

Looks like a fun time had by all. Nicely done. I happen to own a Oneway set with all 4 of the knives. And what most say, is pretty much spot on. Very easy to use, very easy to set up. It will...

Where did you all source your square tubing at? I am having a difficult time sourcing the correct materials.

Thanks,

Jamie and all,

Not to hijack this thread, but I am getting ready to order the materials for 3 of your steadies from your plans. But my question is, having a 4 support system like you have drawn,...

Thanks guys for all the great ideas. Its usually a last minute scramble to come up with a topic for the meeting. I Really appreciate the advise.

The title pretty much says it all. We have done all the usual suspects recently. We need something new and fresh. Y'all got any ideas?

Yep, Creeker Visit! Made the journey in 30+mph cross winds. Really a nice drive getting out there. Pretty country out past Princeton, IL. Ever since I got my lathe, I have always wanted to do...

John,

Wonderful piece and very nicely done. Thanks for taking the extra time in producing this tutorial. I have never heard of a Vortex tool. Can you point me to somewhere so that I may learn...

Russell,

I am 53, and have been turning for 10 years or so. Started with a Jet1236, and then upgraded to a Oneway 2436 after 2 years. Totally self taught. I've gleaned much good information off...

I have 2 saws. A Husky 455 Rancher, and a Stihl MS460. The husky has a 16" bar on it and is a fine limbing saw. Nice and light and you can tote it around all day long. Right now it has an unknown...

I have been using my Monster more and more in the recent months. It is a fine tool, but as some have noted, setting the laser is sometimes problematic. I have one question for the more experienced...

Wonderful looking Vase you have going there. A couple questions though, who makes this Steady Rest? And doesn't the idler wheel arm in the 10 o'clock position get in the way of the laser? Other...

Joe,

I own a 2436 but I am in the Chicago area. If you are in the area, you are more than welcome to give my machine a spin. I've been following a couple of different threads over the last few...

Morning all,

I've been away for quite awhile, (not put away) just away. :) I've refound my love of turning and have been trying to get some stuff made while I have the extra time on my hands. ...

Just an update:

Just got off the phone with DTV, and they are sending me a New HD-DVR, plus a new hd reciever for nothing. I have been a customer for nine years. Also, gave me a credit of...

Ok, I have a question. I currently have an old contract with DTV, and also have basic cable which supplies me with my internet and local tv channels. If I can convince DTV to upgrade my equipment...

I looked back a couple of weeks in the posts and didnt see any info on Randy. He lost his wife on Oct 12th, after a long battle with Cancer. I hope you will all keep him in your thoughts and...

Ken,

That piece is stunning, beautiful figure in the cherry. What kind of finish did you put on this piece?

Morning all,

I was reading up on a few days posts and came across an accident thread where the individual that was injured was wearing gloves while running a cutting machine.

Apparently he was...

Morning all,

I have done some work with curly soft maple in the past, and frankly, the wood is challenging to say the least, with all the tear out that happens.

What are the working...

Tom,

Nice looking bench. One word of warning though is, if you are bashing on something on your bench like pounding in mortises, make sure that you dont have one of those pine knots under your...

It takes you back to when you were a wee lad? I had that happen to me this afternoon. I had to drill a very small hole and found that my usual method was not going to work. Hmmmmm.... what to...

Howdy,

I recently picked up on one of the forums a David Charlesworth tip about using a very thin 6" stainless ruler when flattening plane backs. Lemme tell ya, it works wonders.

The whole...

If I had to start over from scratch knowing what I now know, I guess it would have to be a #3, #4 1/2, and a #6.

You can do pretty much everything with these 3 planes. Throw in a couple of...
