I was just at one of the big box stores looking at the Delta Tenoning Jig. I realize they both can serve differing purposes but what is your opinion as to the best purchase. Purchasing the tenoning...
I have an order for a Junior Statesman II. The customer wants a matching letter opener. Does anyone have any ideas where I can find one? ...Or even one that closely matches.
Thanks!
A friend of mine used Cabot SPF to cover his deck a few years ago and it is now coming up. Have any of you had experience with this stuff?
The company has asked him to send them a sample of the...
I picked up a book entitled "Lone Survivor" by Marcus Luttrell. This book tells the story about his Navy SEAL unit and the things they experienced in Afghanistan. It is the eyewitness account of...
Greg,
Again, thank you so much for the efforts you put in the pen you sent me. It will be displayed proudly in my office.
Thanks!
Try to make smoother finishing passes with your skew and stop using the 150 grit. Start with 220 then to 400 and MM. Works great for me. The key is to finish with smooth tool passes so you do not...
That is a very cool project and the product you produced looks great! Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations! You have two beautiful children! Children are a blessing from God.
Please add me to the list.

I have Sirius as well and must say I am thoroughly enjoying the stations to which I listen. I have found a forum where you can find some interesting discussion about both brands (it is primarily a...
Pete,
Have your questions been answered? Feel free to to PM with any additional questions and I will be happy to answer them.

Yeah, I am not all that fond of the shape of the bowl either but the burl was tall and narrow so I didn't have much of a choice when it came to shape if I intended on using the piece of wood. I...
It has been a while since I have had an opportunity to post anything so I thought I would try to show off my first plate/platter and another bowl from the other half of the spalted water oak burl. I...

Jim,
Thank you so much for the advice. I did turn this one with a recess. My concern about using a tenon is finishing the bottom. I do not have a way to turn the bowl back around to finish off...
Here is a bowl turned from a very large chunk of what I believe is white oak (some believe it could be sweet gum) I have no idea. A friend of mine delivered a few weeks ago and I posted a picture of...
I finally got around to cutting up the oak burl I was given and posted on here a while back. Here is the orginial post: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=76543

Wow! What a beautiful piece. Why is it in hong kong?
Barry,
Wow, what beautiful bowls! I especially like the last one. When I first looked at it I thought it was a natural edged bowl but man that is gorgeous!
Great job!
In one word, Wow!
Great job!
Great looking bowl Rasmus. As Steve pointed out, bowls are very addictive. They will propel you down the vortex at lightening speed--beware!:D
I am so sorry to have left all of you hanging on the story side of this oak burl. I was in a hurry to be somewhere last night by 7:30 pm. Anyway, the fella who brought this thing to me was almost...
This was dropped off by a friend of mine last night and I just had to share with all of you. There is a story behind it and I will have to share that with you later as I am about to walk out the...
I have ordered from them on a couple of different occasions. The first time; I had problems. The second time; I received the order very quickly. I called them after 2 weeks had passed on the first...
