I have used pen blanks and cut them into small pieces for inclusion in the segments. Craft Supplies and all the other suppliers of pen blanks have a wide variety.

Here's a second vote for the Mr. Sawdust book. It is very good. One way to find it is to e-mail mwalsh@dovetalebooks.com

One possibility no one else has suggested would be a used Robland X-31 combo machine. That way you get a 10" sliding table saw, 12"jointer, 12" planer, mortiser and also a shaper, probably for under...

Hello, Richard.

If you want to read a detailed description of this process, get a copy of Malcolm Tibbits' book, "The Art of Segmented Turning." He tells you all you need to build a two part form.

I live about 50 miles east of Atlanta in Greensboro, GA and I have a 38" Woodmaster drum sander that could flatten those boards with ease. If you want to make a short road trip, you are welcome to...

I have the woodmaster 3875 and I love it. It will do the tops you are describing. But, as others have said, you will need to take light passes. I don't know where in Tennessee you are, but I am...

You have a really terrific saw. For a book that will tell you how to make it perform better than you ever thought possible, google "Mister Sawdust" and buy the book called "Mastering the Radial...

I would suggest getting a copy of Malcolm Tibbits's book, "The Art of SegmentTurning." He has a very thorough section on how to cut segments with a SCMS.

No one has yet suggested the one I have, which is the Vicmarc VL300 Long Bed with the ourboard turning attachment. It is the only lathe I own, and it will do anything that I have thought of thus...

I have used bloodwood in several segmented bowls with no special preperation for gluing the segments and layers together. I just used tightbond like any other glue joint and it seems to work fine.

The most recent issue of Woodworker's Journal has an article by Bill Hylton on how to build one. Building two fo them is my next shop project.

I'm about 40 miles east of Atlanta, so not exactly in Chattanoga. However,if you can't get it done closer to home, I would be glad to provide a medium sized (Laguna tools 16HD) bandsaw you are...

Although not mentioned as a possibility, I would recommend you look at the Vicmac VL-300. I have the long bed version with the outboard attachment and I have been very happy with it. When turning...

I like the format, the length and the message. Two clever tips in about 2 minutes. That's great.

The current Woodworker's Supply Catalog has the 8" Super Dado listed at $158.99. They can be reached at 800-645-9292. I have no affiliation with them, but am on their mailing list.

I have a 12" jointer/planer built into my Robland X-31 Combo machine. I have had nothing but great service from it. In fact, I would guess that I use it as much as I use the TS function. Laguna...

I have used both West System and Raka epoxies for making strip canoes, and the Raka is much thinner, therefore making it penetrate small crevices better. It is also much less expensive. I could not...

Hello, Bill.

Add me to the list of those who will buy it as soon as it's made.

Like some of the other respondents, I have a Dewalt Radial Arm and absolutely love it. The blades I use in it were bought from Wolfe Machinery, a company that specializes in RAS rebuilding. They...

Put me down for one. Only 97 to go!

Say, Ken,

That wood sure looks a lot better than it did when I sent it to you. Beautiful work, as always.

Mike

Normally I would take advantage of any reason to get together with other woodworkers. However, this weekend I am caring for my two grandkids and they take all of my energies plus some. Hope I can...

For a small fee ($20-50) Oneida will do a complete design of a system for you. If you buy a system from them, you get a credit for the design charges. If not, you still have the design to guide you...

Hello, Ken. So sorry to hear about the battle that you and Sandra have on your hands. Our thoughts are with you. I know you guys will join the ranks of the survivors, like so many of the earlier...

For those of you planning to attend the show on Friday, I suggest avoiding going in or out from 5-9PM. There is a Bruce Springstein concert at the new Gwinnett Arena that is right next door to the...
