I'll take #1
I see the point of keep on keep'n on with hollowing with no aid; now that I am in a gallery and no bowls are accepted hollow forms are the only way for me to go. I need to keep things as efficient...
I bought the trent bosch 5/8" hollowing tools and they do a good job, but problem is the turning blind. I thought about the monster system but money being a big factor I went with the bosch tools....
Thank you all for the support. I'll get those pics put together soon.
I contacted a gallery last week about my turnings and they asked me to bring some in to view. Was there for maybe an hour and left with a signed contract and 15 pieces on display. It is a small...
I really like the first one. NIP is really nice to turn and the spalting only adds to the beauty.
Very nice. I also like using spalted wood, makes each one that more unique.
Tom, there are actually four missing segments in that piece. Just trying something different instead of using a different wood, hope it works,oh and thanks for seeing that.
Thank you for the compliments. I don't post much, still working on my turning skills as well as taking pics.
These are two pieces that I finally got a finish on, the first is Paduak and BE Maple 9"x14" and the second is Leopardwood and Maple 9"x4". I haven't made a segmented piece in awhile but I got a good...
I've done hollow forms in the past using the Sorby hollow master, now I want "upgrade" but can't afford the monster rig. So I am looking at the Trent Bosch tools. What are your opinions, are they...
Good news, talked to the landlord, and I showed that I pay for the electric so that is settled. Bad news, he thinks that I am running a "business" so he upped the rent $40.
Thanks guys I'll have to have a talk with the landlord about this.
space is not comm. bur residential. Also the breaker for my shop is on box but the lanlord says he pays for that breaker. Woodworking is my hobby not my job, so no tools are running all day maybe 6...
I rent a shop space that is run off of one 20 amp breaker. All my tools are small 120v, the table saw I know uses the most power but is also the least used. The most used are the rikon midi, the...
I got a phone call today from the landlord, rent is going up. See I live in Chicago and space is at a premium, I rent a garage for shop space and it seems the electric bill has gone up. I don't...
Thanks for input, taking pictures is always very frustrating for me I can never get it right. Jamie the phone is the Samsung Galaxy IIS, takes better photos than my Nikon point and shoot. Robert I...
I used a #09 gradient backdrop and homemade soft boxes. Photos were taken with my phone.
First is a curl maple and the second is masur birch.
I recently started turning peppemills, I have some spalted maple sitting around and I was wonder if I could use it for a peppemill.
Where are some good places to buy burl caps. I am looking for a good selection and reasonable prices.
I am researching for my next purchase ( 7 1/4" miter saw) and Iam looking for the best blade for little to no sanding. I want to use this saw for cutting segments for woodturnings so accurate and...
Thank you for all the great comments, it was a test of patience.
This is my first "art" piece that I have turned in some time, it is spalted maple with bloodwood accents. The maple was beyond dry and very punky, but after some time with the skew I managed to...
thanks guys for the replies, I'll keep experimenting on scrap. Had to sand way too much.
I bought a can of spray shellac(bullseye?) to use as a sealer and it dried with a really bad orange peel effect. I sprayed the first coat light so for the second I sprayed it on heavy but that made...
