Mark, just to clarify. The overall dimensions will be 14' on the long side by 8' on the short sides. No connection to the house.
I'm planning to use 6X6 posts. Yes, I plan to use knee braces in all...

Thanks for all your replies! The 14' span runs parallel to the house and is on the outside adjacent to the yard, so I could add another post in the middle which would solve the loading issue on that...

I'm designing a pergola for my house and could use some insight on the size of beams required for safety and to eliminate sag. I'm planning to use 2x6 rafters spaced 16" OC. Due to the size of the...

I know this is an old thread but I will post anyway. I have the same question about beam design to span 14' between posts. The beams will support 2X8 rafters, 16" on centers. For the beams can I use...

Need your help! I have several slabs of walnut burl approxiamtely 30" by 20" by 1 1/2" thick that I would like to build into occasional tables. My thought is to mount them to wrought iron table legs....

Mike, you're right. I got ahead of myself by posting those photos. Thanks for the feedback.

Here is the first item I turned from the slabs of walnut burl I received recently. I started out with a slab 10" dia. by 3" thick. There was a lot of rot and worm holes in the slab, and I kept...

Tim, you and I are at about the same area of the "newbie" curve as I have just finished my 5th bowl. I have yet to make one without sanding marks. It appears this bowl has a nice finish without...

Thanks for all the replies. You've helped me visualize some projects. Zach, I would be willing to sell one or two of the pieces, but I don't have a bandsaw capable of sawing thin veneer. Let me know.

I was fortunate to find a walnut burl on Craigslist but now I'm not sure what to do with it. Need your suggestions! The lady gave it to me at no charge with the understanding that I would make her a...

My wife and I just returned yesterday from a week in North Carolina and Tennessee. We toured Arrowmont in Gatlinburg before crossing the Smoky's on our way to Asheville. Asheville is a beautiful city...

My wife and I are traveling through the Gatlinburg Tn. and Asheville NC area next week. As a newbie woodturner I would like to visit some galleries which exhibit woodturning pieces. I am familiar...

Thanks for the tips. I have been turning dry pieces. I'll go back to the 4 prong drive center. I didn't have this trouble when I was using it. Also, I'm having the workpiece come loose when I'm...

I'm a new turner and I am turning bowls on a Delta 46-760. I'm having a problem with catches causing my workpiece to work loose in the centers. I've had problems with a Stebcenter coming loose and...

I need to order a new blade for my Grizzly bandsaw. What is a good blade design for roughing out logs for bowls? I seem to remember 4 TPI, but what width works well? Also, who supplies a good quality...

I just picked up two nice 4 foot logs of soft maple, about 10" dia. Price was good - free. I was driving down the street and saw the tree trimmers working, so I stopped and talked to them and they...

Thanks for all your comments. I didn't realize this was such a difficult shape when I began, but it makes sense now. I spent a lot of time and experimentation (and catches) on the inside corner. I...

I'm a new turner and completed my first project today. This is a cherry bowl that measures about 5" by 3". I turned it from a dry log. I learned a lot form this project, including the fact...

I have an app on my Droid phone called My Data Manager that keeps track of my useage, both mobile and Wifi. Seems to work OK.

Thanks Jamie. Looked through the list you provided and the one that comes closest to matching is the variable overlay pivot hinge, like Amerock BP1242-2G (13th item from top of page. Does this look...

Here is a photo of a hinge from an old cabinet in my garage. I need to buy replacement hinges but I can't identify the type to buy. The face of the cabinet doors are flush with the frame of...

Dave and Dave:
You nailed it! Based on a review of the manuals it is a BT-3000. I now have the manual. The BT3central dot com has a ton of information. Thanks!

Greetings from a new member of this forum! It looks like a very active forum with a ton of good information for a guy like me who is just getting started in woodworking. I inherited all the shop...
