Neat!! Very good job. Wish I had your talent.
You're right about that, but unfortunately, I also get dozens of calls from the US that are scams as well. I've recently added NOMOROBO to my home number, and we'll see if that at least eliminates...
Even though I'm on the "don't call" list, I get at least 7 calls a week from supposedly IRS, card services, etc. warning me about one thing or another. These are bad enough because they prey on older...
Being able to rotate the headstock 360 degrees would be nice.
I've got a bunch of 120's and I've never seen a safety ring.
I second what Michael Mills said about inserts. All you need is one adapter, but--- depending on your existing chucks---- inserts are the way to go. I understand that some of the turners on this...
I love HF. I buy lots of small, replaceable tools that I don't want to look for. Overwhelmingly, they are hand tools, but I use their drills for sanding on a lathe. I also use their hydraulic tables,...
One man's fruit is another man's poison. I have friends who are master craftsmen/artists who would never use a jointer or a planer and yet achieve fantastic results. I admire them and use my jointer,...
An additional note about shower curtains. In Virginia, I had difficulty in heating my shop, and decided to move my lathe into my house in a seldom used room. I bought some pvc pipes and built a...
Some good advice above. I belong to several forums dealing with chainsaws. The problem with them is that they offer an even more exaggerated version of the "mine are better than yours" opinions. If...
As with most tools, I have a slew of chainsaws. I wonder what you mean by "big" If, as some above have recommended, you want to cut for two hours, then very big will become a very heavy burden on...
I'm not a good enough turner to get into flute shape efficiency. I just know that I like Thompson and Hamlet superflute gouges and have a slew of them. I do, however, know what courteous discourse...
I know that the warning William added took into consideration the dangers of cutting round objects on a bandsaw, but perhaps it's worth explaining. Unless you use some form of a sled, cutting a...
I had somewhat of the same problem, although mine moved with difficulty. Took it to Mann Tool and they found several burrs on the quill, fixed it and it moves smoothly. Previously, I lubed it and,...
Ditto on Vince. He is also an excellent source of sanding wisdom and has invariably been patient in answering my questions.
I took a group class with him at my SC turning club, and he was fantastic. In addition to being funny and charming, he is patient and encouraging. I've often thought of flying to Las Vegas and taking...
geen wood or dry wood? Makes a difference. Timberwolf sells a good blade as does Highland Hardware. Generally, I use a 3/8" 2 AS or 3, but I would call either Highland or a Timberwolf dealer (I think...
Wow, I have two of the bigger chucks, and don't know if I'll take Steve up on his offer. What I do know is that his response demonstrates incredibly good service. Kudoes to you Steve.
Prayers and Good Wishes for Wally and his family.
I'm probably the last person on this forum to give technical advice, but I wonder about two things. What amperage is your outlet configured to draw? How long a power cord did you make? Probably...
There are lots of similar enterprises such as the one you received. Fake Ebay, fake paypal, fake banking notifications. I also get a lot of phone calls from people claiming that they represent...
Hu,
What you said about Japanese manufacturing was especially true in the automotive field. When, I was invited to tour Honda, I learned that all the robotics being used early on had been...
Ken,
As a matter of fact I was a consultant for over a dozen American businesses wishing to do business with China. I also worked for the US as an analyst ( I graduated as a physicist) before I...
I promised myself that I wouldn't get into this, but.... . First off I'm not only not a hater of China, Japan or India, but in fact taught Chinese and Japanese history and philosophy for over 30...
Having two shops, I bought two each of the AAW's and Sorby's. One is half sleeves, the other has long sleeves. The Sorby's is more substantial, but the truth is that I now barely use any of these....
