Dan, I've got the McNaughton coring tools and the Monster laser, and I haven't come up with a way to hook the two up together yet. I'm sure there's a way to fabricate a mounting block that would...

Good call on leaving it thick. Thinner walls would have meant losing a lot of the character. And despite all the potholes in the road, you ended up with a nice, smooth outside curve. That's not easy...
I think you did a fine job on the box, especially for a first. They are not as easy as they look, and as you do more they will improve. If I may, I'd suggest finding a more plain background for the...
You did a great job with a real challenging form. Beautiful wood, too. Your photo background shows off the wood nicely.
Thanks, George. I do take your comments as constructive, and you're correct, my post was angry, although the defensive aspect wasn't intentional. I'm generally a bit less brusque in my comments here,...
Yeah, sometimes it's better to just call it done before you run out of wood and go on to the next one with what you learned. And if you're like most of us, you'll see something in nearly every piece...
OK, I responded once to this thread and it already got poofed. Let's try again in a little less specific manner. :rolleyes:
I believe the majority of the people here genuinely want to improve...
Both pieces look good Alex. Your skills are definitely progressing. The finish on both pieces looks great. No tool or sanding marks visible.
I really like the form of the second piece. The curve...
I'd say 2 out of 12 is probably about the normal odds I've seen with DNA. No matter what method, we all lose a few from time to time. As has been said, it can very from one piece to the next, and...
I love my Oneway accessories, but my hollower is a Monster articulating arm and my coring tools are McNaughton. The Monster rig is very well made and versatile. The McNaughton coring tools are not as...
The Rikon would get my vote, too. The variable speed in the Griz lathe is a Reeves drive, and they can be a pain to keep working right. Plus as Bill mentioned, it doesn't go slow enough. Lastly, the...
It's showing now, and it looks like it fetched a nice price. Well done.
Jeff, although it'd work great on a goblt-sized piece, I'm not sure I'd trust the brown bag method on something as big as a 20" table top. I'd vote for Curt's or Wally's suggestions.
I think you did a fine job, and the wood looks great, too. Punky wood can be a real chore, but the extra work can pay off, too.
Sascha, are you using the PL compound in addition to the tripoli and white diamond, or instead of it? I ordered a new wheel and a stick of the compound to try for myself, but I'm interested in your...
That looks like it'll work great. Well done.
Consider it done. Best of luck to you. :cool:
Oh, and Attaboy! Nice form and finish!
OK Gary, here's a picture for you. This is one of my more traditional pieces from a while back, nothing special. It's walnut and ebony, about 14" tall overall. My current work involves some unique...
Pretty wood. You might look at your photo software and see where the "Rotate Picture" option is. That way you won't have to post sideways pictures. I know you're proud of your work, so you should try...
Very nice work and superb wood. Good luck in the competition.
No question about it. Your dad should get his saw back. The TS3650 is a sweet saw at full retail. For $150, you stole it.
Seconded.
I use the 3tpi hook tooth blade from Ellis Mfg. Co. A 105" blade costs about $8.00 or so. I like the Timberwolf, and it's maybe a little better in green wood due to a bit wider tooth set, but at half...
Nice haul, and I hope you're able to get after it soon.
Concrete? You're kidding! Can't be done. :p :D :p
Congrats Brian. I'm sure you'll be very happy with the Monster rig. With all the bits and pieces that come with it, it's a very adaptable system.
