Rockler has some long shank bits but they only go up to 2 1/8" in carbide and are 4 1/2" overall in length. I have used them and like them real well but the big diameter bit is $55, at bit steep for...

Welcome to the vortex a woodturner and his money are soon parted.

Nate, I agree with David. When you blend the two curves together at the shoulder it may lead you to lengthen the piece as I think the top portion will look taller. If you lengthen the base should...

I slide mine downthe aluminum heat sink on the controller. It is always handy and is out of the way.

It is a cool 105 down from a 106 yesterday. :eek:

You might look at this project on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS0kZDfIYzg&feature=PlayList&p=0ACF6C855C76C940&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=47
I have also found the guts at Rocklers.

Nice save, necesssity is the mother of invention. Good looking columns, what did you use for the black color?

Very modern and such clean lines. A few nice piece that I agree, I like it very much. Keep up the great work.

Gordon has it right, I replaced one of my WC white wheels with the Norton 3X wheel and the difference is like day and night on sharpening my tools. For the price it sure is hard to beat the 3X wheel...

I am the librarian for the North Texas Woodturners:D

I have a Triton and Steve is correct. The brand name on mine is HOYOA class 2 power unit, Model: BHY41-9.0V-500mA.

Craft Supply also sells the Vicmarc chucks. I own two, and they are great chucks.

Jim the cord on the lathe is only about 6 feet long so make sure the receptable is close to the lathe.

If I could manage 3 hours a week I would be happy. Like Brian said, not nearly enough.

They are saying the same thing. Mike G. is saying that the woodgrain needs to be 90 degrees to the tool rest where all the forces are transmitted. Which makes the woodgrain run the length of the...

Turn it thin for other wood turners, turn it thicker to sell. Most people believe they are getting more when there is some weight to the piece.

I can see that Ken has not turned any three or five sided bowls yet. Ballast is important when doing off center turning.

There is a woodturning club in East Hampton and another in Bethel, you seem to be in the middle between the two. I would suggest you find when they meet and go watch a demonstration. Most club...

I have already paid by fee and reserved my hotel room, hope to see you there. Come by room 5 Saturday morning, I have to shoot the video that morning.

I see that there are four Buffalo, Texas towns. Which county are you in? Coleman, Mills, Leon or Henderson?
I also just received my Rockler flyer in the mail the new Delta 46-460 variable speed...

SWAT will be holding their symposium October 16-18 in Wichita Falls. There will be vendors as well as well know demonstrators, Stuart Batty, Mike Mahoney, and Jimmy Clewis as just a few. Go...

I would grind the front bevel back a bit more. From your picture is looks more like a bowl gouge bevel. I have multiple spindle gouges and the sharp pointed ones I use to get into deep places and do...

You did an exceptional job. Great form, shape and beauty. A piece to be proud. Keep up the great work.
