Steve: Amazon sells an incredible book entitled, The Woodbook, by Romeyn Beck Hough. It was first printed in the late 1800's early 1900's. It contains woods found in the United States and some...
I have the PM 14" and I love it. I bought it about six years ago and it has run flawlessly over that time. I would buy it again.
Since I never remove the inserts from my chuck's I am one of those who throw the little round thingy things away.
Jason, I really like your depth gauge and especially the tool caddy you have mounted on the ways. Two things in one post to copy!!

I really appreciate people like you who can transfer your incredible skills from lathe work to brain storming and coming up with the perfect solution to a huge problem.
You did beautiful!...
One last thing. You can do a search on the title Fundamental Wood Turning on Google and they have digitized it.
I forgot to add that the book was first published in 1919 with the title - A course in wood turning. Your lathe may very well have come from this era.
Hi Gary
Beautiful lathe! You are correct that it was run from belts that ran to overhead pulleys. I have a High School instruction manual that shows the exact same lathe. And one particular...

That is beautiful! One of my favorite woods to turn. Nice job.
Gary
I like it! May have to finally build one for my drill press. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats and happy turning!!

I use a Grip angle drill from Overstock.com. It was $39 and it has been going strong for a couple of years. It even has a reverse.

You could make your own 12" sanding disc and use the 12" sandpaper disc you put on a 12" sander (i.e. Jet 12" disc sander). Mount it to a face plate and use it on your lathe. Not sure what you are...

Not to beat a dead horse but was wondering if you have ordered the SawStop. Last year I found an item on Craigs list that I wanted and my wife traveled with me to pick it up. While at the...

You are a very fine gentleman!
I wear fingerless gloves in the winter since my shop has no heat.
I grew up on a 20 acre apple orchard in eastern Washington and apple wood really works best as fireplace wood. I've never wanted to turn any of it but I've seen turned apple wood that was absolutely...

I have a Powermatic 14" with no rizer. You are welcome to come and use it if it would meet your needs. I live just north of Mill Creek and east of Silver Lake.
You can pm me if you...
It's beautiful! I bet she was thrilled with you.

I'm proud of you Howard! Quitting is the easy part....not starting again is the hard part. You can do it.

I have the same saw and have broken 2 Carter arms at the same joint you did. The first one that broke looked as if it was cracked before it broke. PM replaced it without question. The...

I had the same problem. Since I had purchased it at Woodcraft I took it back and they exchanged the miter bar for a new one and now it is perfect.

I'm pretty happy with our local area Lowes. For the most part they have some very knowledgeable staff and great customer service. I stopped in to buy a corded drill and was interested in buying a...
