This is a specific question for those who have at least a 1/3 hp dremel rotary tool. Has anyone used these saw drill bits that cut sideways as well as drill normally with this type tool. I...

This is a piece I made in response to a president's challenge in our local wood-turning club to make a candle stick. I wanted to get creative so I made a pierced bowl on top to hold a tea light...

Tim the final took a while to figure out and required use of the band saw and a micro-motor tool and a drill press and quite a bit of trial and error until I found a way to create this one. The...

[QUOTE=Brian Tymchak;2232494]Awesome work Breck! This and the pierced Sapele piece are first class pieces.

Did you line the inside of this piece with something? I love the look.[/QUOTE...

8-1/4" x 5" Spanish Cedar & Ebony Egyptian Lidded Bowl. This was an experimental and fun piece using pyrography to create Egyptian hieroglyphic writing. The hieroglyphics actually spell out a...

When ever I green turn to finish. I turn the walls and bottom to a consistent thickness this is more important than the actual thickness. 1/4 to 3/8 will work. Time is the enemy when green turning to...

Allen I contacted Molly Winton and copied her method of making my own burning tip with 20 gauge Ni-chrome wire that I bought online. I wrapped the wire five times around a nail to create a coiled...

10-1/2" x 5" Sapele & Ebony Lidded Royal Heirloom Bowl
This was my fourth lidded bowl and I was attempting to improve and make everything work, taking the good from the others and removing the bad...

Thanks guys for your imput, The sanding is from my mustard monster, I just need to impliment a few of the tips I have been given here. My dust deputy is what it is, but a shop vac can only do so...

I live on 3.2 acres with no close neighbors, I want advice on ways to exhaust sanding dust out a window of my woodturning shop. I have looked at exhaust fans that have a 12" circular framework that...

This was going to be my pop corn bowl, but it turned out so pretty I just don't think I will use it for that. The walls are thin, but the wood is very strong. The size is 12" x 5" Spalted Magnolia

I have been doing production rough turning of a lot of large nesting bowl sets, with the largest bowl mostly 16" the next 13" then 10" respectively. I have always used an angle drill with H&L sanding...

Very unique I like it. You have made a natural edge goblet.

Hi Jenny, I love your bowls expecially the dyed one, When I turn poplar if I can't get some of the heart wood in the turning I believe that dying would be a great idea. I plan on trying that in the...

Steve this wood is a close grained wood, but on a couple of pieces I did get more movement than I wanted. Probably because I left too much of the pith in or took too long from start to finish...

I recently had the privedge of finding a treasure inside of wood I never dreamed would be so beautiful. These bowls are all made from the same Chinese Tallow tree. I never would have believed that so...

As a fellow science teacher I must admit you probably have quite a few skills in the physics department to construct such a beautiful work of art supported with a such a tiny pedestal. Absolutely...

Dan You really started out sprinting. For a first bowl your natural edge is great! To avoid the tear out practice a shear cut to slice the wood. You will need a very sharp gouge to accomplish this...

Ed I love what you can do with pecan, but it is a member of the hickory family. Hickory axe handles and stuff. Once it dries out it is very hard to turn. Even harder on HSS tools. What ever pieces...

Glen I think the power jaws would be a must for your collection of jaw sets. I use my power jaws all the time for large bowls and even for some smaller ones they are great. If you need to turn large...

I've turned Bass wood and found it to be wonderful if it is dry. When the moiture level is high it is not a pleasure to work with. Here are a couple of lidded boxes I made out of Bass wood years ago....

Lee if you have the long rubber inserts the ones that are about 1-3/4 to 2" long I would use the cole jaws because the pressure would be on the curve instead of the fragil rim. If not use a jam chuck...

I designed these and made them from red oak for my sweet wife's pleasure and mine. We both sit with our lab tops and I wanted a simple but elegant design that would allow us to put our lap tops to...

Jeremy,
That is beautiful Walnut, and the bowls are great too. You do good work, although your photography skills may surpass many of our turning skills.

David the third pic is a profile of the Jupiter Bowl so people could see why I named it so. Two pic's of the same bowl and one of the shallow bowl. Thanks for all the kind comments from everybody. I...
