Thanks for the advice. When I ran a search most of what I came up with was knitting needles on planes and specialty items like a very cool shawl pin and crocheting hooks.

I have lots of harder...

Any suggestions, other than, perhaps the smart one … “just buy them”, in regards to turning knitting needles? The Boss, my sister and the rest of The Coven have requested a huge variety of sizes,...

I, too, got the Boss' permission to pick out, in her words "a toy" and got the same saw. I love it.

After reading many reviews / articles / post the Rikon made the most sense for me.

The...

I, too, am very happy with my Record Power. Harvey is correct in that it is "far beyond a beginner's lathe". My set-up is rock solid and has the Record steel stand and the outboard bowl rest . Can...

That bloodwood is gorgeous and your workmanship is incredible.

I once refit a little Thundercraft with cherry (wish I had pictures). That project was very similar to what you described with this...

I have had the the older CL version (blue) for about a year now and love it. It is built like a tank ... and I mean that in the good way.

Not too much of a pain to keep the #1 MT or 3/4 stuff...

I have both and while I am infatuated with my new WorkSharp toy, I still use my grinder and Wolverine often. I would not be without the grinder as it is able to everything the Worksharp can do just,...

Richard - I am going to keep my Wolverine and sander setup in place as you can not beat the grinder for the quick removal of material and I use it often for mower blades and such.

I guess if I...

I would like to try an ornament if it is not too late to join the exchange.

Thanks.

The touch-up, while turning, is my favorite part as you can see the edge as you sand. For someone like me, with limited experience, this is a pretty big deal as it has improved my consistency.

I got it at Woodcraft and it was $199 for the unit, $19 for an extra slotted plate and $29 for the leather & glass plate.

My old set-up is very similar to Jerry's even down to the Velcro and...

I just got the Worksharp 3000 last night and am very impressed. I am loving the ease of set-up and use. I thought I was pretty good with my grinder / sander technique but the tools are noticeably...

John,

You already have, in my opinion, the three most important things for successful turning experiences:

1) supportive family (most important)
2) great workspace
3) this site (you can be...

I finally got the Jet Air Filtration system that I have needed for so long.

Was lucky that I got the extra 5% off of the post-discount sales total.

Just incredible ... love the pierced rim !

I would gladly sponsor a prize / participation award. Just let me know what, if anything, you need.

I know the "kids" stuff will be better than mine but we should encourage them anyway!

Tom,

As a fellow turner ... beautiful bowl.

As a fellow BMW rider ... beautiful bike.

Rick

Yes, Thank you.

I hope you enjoy your new lathe as much as I am enjoying your old one!

Keep me in mind if you need any help moving anything thing around the shop. Thanks again and have fun with the PM 3520.
