Richard,
I completely agree. I had the "hybrid" and the screw/nut hit as much as the edge. I ended up swapping out the hardware for something that was lower profile. Or you could get a larger...

Jon,
Steve gave a lot of good recommendations. I would strongly recommend getting into a couple of shows or displaying your work at a gallery and see what the feedback is. We often ask turners...
Thanks Tim. Yeah I checked there already. I'm looking for a replacement pump. I thought someone on the Creek offers them actually. Just can't remember who.
I'm looking for a model series 523 (110v) gast vacuum pump. Other than Packard, Craft Supplies, and ebay, does anyone have a reliable source for one?
Thanks.
Thank you for your responses. This is exactly what I was looking for. More or less a "poll". If there's 12 people that respond and wet stones are mentioned 9 but diamond hones are only mentioned...
I've seen a variety of abrasives/materials used as well as sharpening in either direction. So my question to you is this, What is your preferred "material" (wet stones, oil stones, diamond hones,...
I'm debating about getting a "spoon carver" knife from Deepwoods (www.deepwoodsventures.com). However, I don't know anything about them (other than what their website is)or the quality of the...
Yes. Some lumber mills put it in the "pump and spray" applicators and I've seen some turners spray it with a HVLP gun (Trent Bosch does it on his Bowl DVD, I think). It's water based, so if it...
I'm looking for a good axe for doing the rough/prep work for spoons and bowls' exterior.
Any suggestions?
The problem with "Sorby Pricing" is you're paying for the name. Don't do that. Pay for the "tool". Pay the same amount and get a tool that's several times better.
I'd rather spend money right...
Delta 46-460 is the top of the class, hands down. The new General has a bigger swing but a smaller motor (3/4 in the general and 1 hp in the 46-460). The other thing I'll note about the new general...
Wasn't there someone on the Creek that deals with Vacuum pumps, Gast 523 models, and sells them?
Anyone know who that was?
Thanks Steve. Shoot. That's out of stock.
Does anyone have a good source for vacuum gauges for our systems?
Dan,
Here are some facts on Mandrels-be sure to clarify.
There are two different sizes of Mandrels, there's an A and a B. The "A" (7mm) mandrel cover 90% of the pen kits that are out there. ...
Stephen,
One important factor to consider, actually one to avoid, are "direct" threaded chucks. The Apprentice Chuck offered by Craft Supplies, the one just mentioned, is direct threaded for 1 X...
Stephen,
I'd go with the Stronghold. You'll be glad you did for the bowls.
I currently have a 16" jet and have two talons. If I was going to stay with a 16" lathe, I'd get a stronghold even...
I have two talons, along with a beall collet chuck. I like the oneway chucks for a few reasons. Even if that pricing isn't available, I'd buy Oneway's again and again. My worse accident on the...
Walt,
As previously mentioned, several times actually, Bill Grumbine's dvd's are very good. I have both of them.
I'd also strongly recommend Mike Mahoney's "Bowl Basics" and "From the tree to...
Mike,
I have a Dremel attachment for sharpening my chainsaws. Here is a link to it on Amazon but I bought mine locally at either Menards or Home Depot.
...
Scott,
The "jr" pen refers to the "jr." series of other pens that Craft Supplies, and other manufacturers carry. If you want to look through some nice pen galleries, take a look through the...
I haven't used either the Sharpfast or the VG2. I did use the standard varigrind for quite some time and liked it. I sharpen all of my Bowl gouges just on the platform/freehand. It's a lot faster...
Does anyone have a source for 1 micron dust bags for a dust collector? I just bought a new DC and want to get 1 micron bags for it. The current size is perfect, 19" diameter by 33".
Any sources...
Greg,
I wouldn't buff before finishing. I use Tried and True's Danish Oil for my bowls. It's a polymerized linseed oil that is food safe wet or dry, and take a day to dry. It's a "thin coats"...
Just from a "quick" test using a infrared temp gun. My current 40 watt bulb in the kiln is 181.2 degrees, that has been of for 2 weeks straight. I also have two of the "new" bulbs in the shop, both...
