While I haven't tried any of these yet, Extreme Alpaca Socks are supposed to be even better, more comfortable, more durable, more breathable (?), etc. than merino wool.

The German branch of UL was most likely a German test lab that was using UL standards. UL has reciprocal agreements with many test labs around the world so UL can test and certify to other countries'...

This is too cool! Just the other day I was wondering if there was a coffee mug kit available. Being the coffeeholic I am, I can see one or more of these in the very near future.

Curt,

I can see why you don't want to give it away, it's beauteous!

How thin is the cup section, and did you have to use a steady rest or some other type of support when turning the stem?

I really like my Rikon Mini so if it's true, I'll definitely give it serious consideration when I upgrade.

Note I said "when I upgrade". I already see the writing on the wall:eek:

Beauty comes from unexpected places sometimes, doesn't it?

That's a real keeper!

Ken,
Weren't you asking for a novice class for the Au Natural Challenge? You must have been asking for my benefit because you are definitely past the novice class with this one.

Keep it up!

Dick,
That shape really sets off the beauty of the wood. It's an unbeatable combination. Great job!

Raymond,

Texture and other details add some great visual interest. It feels like it's just right, if you had done more, it probably would have been too much.

Great job.

Thanks for the nice words, everyone. Like I said earlier, it was a fun weekend.

Ernie, yea it's some tearout but I chickened out trying to get the last of it out because it was getting thin and...

Now for the gloat. I picked this up over the weekend and wow, what a difference. The bowls and plate above were finished in blo and Beall buffed.

Oh, and I did a couple of cigar pens, too. One is...

What a great weekend. I finished 3 more bowls and had another that decided to launch:eek:

The first bowl is maple with lots of interesting things happening. It's 5 3/4" by 3/4".


The second...

John,

That is very cool. I love the color combination, it's very creative.

Thanks for the how to. I'll have to try something like this out in the not too distant future.

Sam,
I glued the bowl back together and put a finish on it. It's sitting in my workshop and I'll use it for spare screws, nails, an ashtray, something...

I was pretty happy with the shape...

Joe,

That's unbelievable. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be. If you need a turning fix before you get your lathes back, maybe we could hook up.

I live between Grandville and...

Rich,

Thanks for the comment about sanding sealer. I'm going to have to get my hands on some because I have a couple more pieces of that mahogany.

Well, after scoring the sharpening jigs over the weekend, I sharpened up my new bowl gouges and got after it! Maybe I got after it a little too good. This is/was my first bowl. By the time I started...

Corey,

That's a real beauty! I'm going to have to look into that style. How is it to put together?

Peter,

All of my boys are computer geeks so the open space in the cpu holder is not just for the extra heat from the monster power supply, but also so you can see the lights inside the plexi...

Corey,

Like Keith said, Keep 'em comin'!!!

Your work is incredible and inspiring!

My son asked me to make him a new desk for his birthday so who am I to refuse him?

This is made with 1/2" birch ply in a kind of modern/scandinavian style. the top is two layers glued together.
...

Went to my favorite toy store yesterday and picked up a few items. I've had some bowl gouges for awhile but have been afraid to sharpen them by hand so I finally picked up the Oneway sharpening jig....

Congratulations!

I have a granddaughter and my son and DIL are working to adopt a boy (?) from Nigeria.

I heard a comedian today say grandchildren are God's gift to us for not killing our...

Jack,

I talked to my supertech son and here's what he had to say.

If you right click on your desktop, one of the options that comes up is NVidia. Select that because you need to tell your video...

Peter,

It's possible there is another frame of some type in front of the picture. See if you can highlight the picture or frame or whatever is there and "Move to Back". If you still can't copy...
