Robert, I use Hut Crystal coat on my bottle stoppers. It is quick and easy to apply and is a very hard finish.
LOL Been there, done that, both ways. through the bottom, and the thumb nick.
I gotta ask, which came first, the egg or the mirror? :)
Steve, I bought a Don Pencil system back in 2006 because I got an incredible price on it. It is very similar to the Stewart system. I started hollowing on my Jet mini using the armbrace. I don't...
Lovely pen Michael.
I love this wood. I have an artist's pencil turned from bog oak. It is my personal drawing pencil and I have turned down offers of $100 for it because of the beauty and...
I own both a Jet 1014 mini VS and a Delta 46-460 Midi and both are good lathes, but I highly recommend the new Delta. It is far and away superior in features, such as larger VS range (250-4000), 1...
I got mine at 7 Corners Hardware in St Paul, MN.
I really like this new lathe. It has everything anyone could want including variable speed, reverse, and indexing. The only issue I have had so...
That is not ugly wood. The first hackberry I turned was completely gray, with zero character.
It is my thought that all of this wood has the probability of having very interesting, if not spectacular grain. Especially, since it is stump wood. There is highly possible that there are all...
Try Highland Hardware. I got a Grip brand right angle there last year.
I bought myself a Kelton small sized hollowing rig a couple of months ago and have finally had a chance to finish the first form to come off it. It is a piece of big leaf maple burl that was given...
Likewise, cap on after allowing the glue to flow back down into the bottle.
I use a Dremel Engraver.
To my eyes, the vessel looks fine in it's up and down symmetry, but the leading edge of the collar stands a bit tall and interrupts the curve of the piece. If possible, I would rework the edge and...
I have found that a loose fitting lid will sell better than a suction fit. The suction fit lid only impresses other turners. Someone trying to take the lid off with one hand while holding a piece...
I have been thinking for a long time about how people decide on the size and shape of a collar, if the decision is made to use on a hollow form.
I often use collars on my hollow forms, but have...

Paul, every link on the page is broken. Seems there is nothing on the server except the index page.
I use both the swept back Irish style grind and also a Michaelson grind. I am considering switching completely to the Michaelson style grind because I like that there is no sharp heal at the base of...

Lacer and Batty's DVDs are great, but nothing is better than one-on-one instruction for learning the skew.
I use a Dremel Engraver. I find it works well on most woods. It has variable speeds which allows you to adjust the speed to the wood.
This wood is Mulberry
Bill, as others have said, I would have liked to have seen the curve of the body flow into the collar more seamlessly, BUT, since it doesn't, I like your solution. The slight edge on the collar...
