Here is my two cents for what it is worth. I've not used the Hannestool handle but I have handled them. I did not care for the feel because they were small diameter and did not feel comfortable in my...

John, I too feel your pain but sometimes I just get carried away...................
Thanks for all the kind words y'all ! Glenn, thanks for finding my previous post on the finish, I hope it helps. I am looking forward to meeting anyone here that is going to the symposium. So many...
I've been busy getting ready for the Symposium. Just finished this piece that will be going with me. My good friend Robin Costelle sent me a big piece of Curly Ambrosia Maple awhile back. I thought...
Dick, I rough turned a Curly Ambrosia Maple HF about a week ago. 11" deep without any problems. Much smoother and easier than my Jamison Clone. Unlike Jeff I prefer the HSS cuter for hollowing. I...
Thanks for the kind words y'all, I appreciate it.
A couple have asked about my 10 minute finish so here it is.
1. Sand thru 400 to 600 grit. I power sand at high speed.
2. Rub in Minwax...
Jim, you are the master ! Always beautiful work !
Oh, man John, I remember turning that piece of hickory and decided it was to bland so I sent it to you. Then you go and paint a pattern on it and claim it is yours ! You are darn right I'm gonna sue...
This is from a piece of mesquite John Hart left me when he graced my shop with his presence awhile back. It was hollowed with the new Carter Hollow Roller system of course. Mesquite is my favorite...
John, you...............................................................................................lucky rat !!!
In an earlier thread I had talked about my new Carter Hollowing System and several asked for some photos. They are attached. It is mounted on my Oneway 2436 but it will mount to virtually any lathe....
Most have already figured out that I like turning hollow forms http://woodturnersamerica.com/phpBB3/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif Well I have been working with Carter Products on a new Hollowing...
Roger you are right of course. I offer my appologies. I let my emotions rule over logic and I shoud not have.
Cody, you can not make the assumption that she was not wearing a face shield based on a video and to make that assumption about someone you do not know offends me.
Second, the video makes an...
Joan was one of the special ones and will be missed by all. She has always stepped up to the plate to help our club. She has served on our club's board. She wrote for our newsletter. As I have said...
Steve, thank you for honoring us at WTA with your presence. Besides being a great turner, your positive outlook and the energy and inspiration you bring is catching. (no pun intended).
Congratulations Alan, a well deserved win ! And congratulations to all that entered, everyones work was excellent.
I turned this piece about a month ago to use in a club demo using my 10 minute finish. I turned the finial a week or two ago. This week I did the lid. The finial is blackwood and the lid is pear and...
Thanks y'all for taking the time to comment. It is appreciated. It has been a busy summer with not much turning time nor forum time.
Congrats Scott ! Love your finial work.
Sometime back I was passing by Mark Cothrens house and stopped in to say hi. I was going to steal some wood but he was watching me to close. As I was leaving he reached down and picked up a really...
Bill, I owned the same lathe for almost 2 years and never had any problems. The tube construction allows for filling them all with ballast material. I used plugs from a steel fabricating shop. The...
Nice set up Baxter. Definately get an external inlet filter. I got mine from surpluscenter for about $16 including shipping. Although your pump has an internal filter it is not enough.
This is from a dry spalted birch log and turned with the pith in the center. Fortunately there was no splits. Anyway it was a little punky and required a little extra effort. Measures 7" diameter x...
There is a great AAW Club located in Merriam. The kcwoodturners.org. Give them a visit and I guarantee a good learning time.
