After much practice trying to perfect the David Ellsworth interior finishing cut on open bowls, I'm ready to buy myself a beefy scraper. I have a cheap scraper and it has become a pretty important...
I was hoping for a magical finish I guess. Perhaps I just need to let my oil cure longer before using. And, I'll stop using soap as much.
Funny that some of you are saying not to cut in my bowl....
Any advice on how I can keep the bottom of this birch bowl from drying out?

This is my personal salad bowl. I've used it every night since 2009. The bottom is pretty cut up because I...
This is crazy. I wanted to post some pictures and see if any of you have refined a solution since this thread.

This is Oak, not sure what kind. The first picture shows the...
Steve, what is the Ci0 round cutter? Is that an EW tool? Do you use a bowl gouge for most of the bowl and use the Ci0 cutter just for getting rid of tool marks?
I've been making bowls with an Ellsworth grind for a couple years, and otherwise new to turning. Now that I can finally get a consistent edge with my grinder, the catalogs are really starting to...
Thanks, Frank. You may have just cost me $400.
I would still like to hear from someone who has used the Blum Solo glides. How did you like them?
It's not very clear. Blum's Solo brochure says, "BLUMATIC self-closing action is an importantfeature for the homeowner. The drawers
easily self-close 1-1/4" from the cabinet."
Have any of you used the Blum Solo Drawer Slides (under-mount concealed)? Are they really soft close? In other words, if I shove a drawer closed, will it catch and guide itself into a closed...
Tim, did you ever get an answer? I have the same question about SOLO slides.
That would be quite a bit of hand pressure, but sure, I'll try it on some scraps. Thanks
I don't care about the holes. There will be drawers covering them up. Hmmm. Seems promising.
I was wondering if Kreg had a jig for this or if I could just screw my current jig down to the plywood face I can see.
How can I create pocket holes with my Kreg jig when it's too late to use the clamp?
Building an alcove cabinet carcase and I forgot to drill my pocket holes in the sides. The plywood sides are...
What's the problem with wood to wood contact between a backsplash and c-top?
Sam, are you talking about the backsplash? I was wondering about this. How can I build the backsplash without leaving a gap for water to seep between the bottom of the backsplash and the top...
Sam, thanks so much for taking the time to explain a good way to build this. I understand your instructions and they make sense. Have you done this before? I would love to see a picture.
Okay,...
Darn, not the advice I was looking for. Really? I'm sure there is a way for it to be done properly. Poplar may have some benefits over water loving wood. Poplar's softness may keep it from...
I want to build a vanity counter out of poplar, with an under-mount bathroom sink. I'l picturing a butcher-block type look, but I want to basically flip a bunch of 1 X 2 poplar strips so their...
I turned this grinder last year and it has warped such that the head doesn't rest on the body evenly (note the gap on right side of photo). The wood is guayacan. I can't tell which warped, the head...
Dan, the machine mounts from CSUSA do look pretty good. So do these Vibration dampening level mounts from Mcmaster and Carr. QUESTION: What size thread do I need to fit the PM3520? 3/8" - 16? I...
Thanks for the answers so far. To be clear, I'm not trying to find a mobile solution. I already have the Lift Lock N’ Roll, which works great. However, if the little plastic leveling feet hit...
Does anyone know where I can get some better feet for my 3520B? I want something better than the white plastic ones it came with (they keep breaking when I move the lathe).
Thanks
