Looking for suppliers of a 6" spindle extender. I think this would be useful in doing certain things with my Flutemaster.
Brandon anytime money enters into the criterion, we say here in the oilpatch "they don't put saddlebags on coffins". Don't wait, call your banker.
Steve I use forstner bits to do a lot of hollowing. However you must start with a 1/2 or 3/4 bit and continue in increments of, 1/8 all the way up to 2 1/4 or so. Jumping on it with a 2 1/4 first...
Dan, I may be sticking my neck out but I bought a Sears/Craftsman 18" corded chainsaw with 2 Oregon chains 3 years ago for $89 and have used it weekly since. I have had no problems or issues and I...
Alan, FWIW when I started out I went Sorby, then when Doug Thompson started I bought many of his. Result is excellent tools in my shop. Also I recommend carbide cutters from azcarbide.com. I made...
when in the first year of woodturning I looked at my right hand and saw I was missing my right index finger, tip of thumb, and tip of middle finger.
You can also put a magnet in a sandwich baggie type of wrap. The magnet never gets metal on it, or water. I have a rare earth magnet in a small plastic pouch in the water tray on my tormek and one...

Buying the wedgies are a good inves.tment. Dead on accuracy.
Mark, I have used the miter saw and and table saw, both finely tuned and got perfect results. However I ran across the segeasy sled. I made one, finely tuned it, and get perfect results at all...
Pat I'm leaning the same way but can't decide on which grit. Checked the Craft Supply website on their CBN wheels (made in Austria). It said to use them on a slow speed grinder (1750 rpm). I am...
Pat my friend has a 180 grit on his Tormek. I used it saturday and it was great. I will probably get the 220 grit. The WoodturnersWonders man said he can get up to 1200 grit. However I would like...
Glen the segeasy solves the problem. Also search WilliamOYoung on you tube for another technique. It is a good one
Don't buy until you have seen and turned on a bunch of lathes of some club members. In all probility the first lathe you buy won't be your last. My advice is think big early.
Recently our club lost a dear turner buddy. A year ago he bought a new PM4224 plus tax and shipping. He may have turned 5 bowls, thats all. It was in new mint condition. His beloved wife offered...
Dan, you were right. It was the cookie thing. How to fix it was solved by my 9th grade grandson. Kids are so smart these days. Thanks both of you for input.
Dan I tried that it didn't work.
After putting in username and password I am welcomed. when I click on a image number, I can't see the pic. The click sends me to a page that says I'n not authorized to view but has blanks to type...
Jim look at EZbond.com. 16 oz bottle is $16.90. But you have to buy $100 worth. My club makes a pooled buy 2-3 times a year.
Try EZ bond. Google it. 16 oz CA for 16.90 and everything else
I have one and like it.
scrap electrical wire, any gauge you like
Isn't the "new" titan chuck just the SN2 with bigger jaws?
The video was impressive but I saw some fingers on the wrong side of the tool rest.
