+1...to be civil...I've never seem a definition of turners tape?
You say you’re coughing and wheezing…you know why? Your lungs are trying to get rid of stuff that shouldn’t be there in the first place!! DC at the tool is just about useless except for a drill...
Would have been sweet to try to core those...don't drop that sucker on your toe!!
These are the measurements I took today stabilizing pen blanks in Cactus Juice, again...no affiliation, I just use the stuff and make measurement to insure I'm doing it right.
...
Hmmmm....how about a picture of the foot! Only criticism I have!
Actually Paul, I use it for burls as well. The unstable grain patterns create havoc sometimes and burls are expensive!! It fill holes, CA or similar product would be better. Robert, extensive testing...
Turn it is a joy Tom...again...more dusty that curls, but it is so smooth that you'll be surprised!! If you turn pens, PM me and I'll send you a couple blanks. I stabilize any burl, soft or punky...
SMC policy prohibits displaying another website Paul, so I'm not allowed to post anything that would educate you on the process. However!!! There is no epoxy involved...it's a catalyzed resin that...
Stabilizing is expensive!! A pen blank is usually $8-$12. I can do an 8" bowl blank...never thought about what I'd charge for that!
Pressure won't stabilize Tom. Curtis Seebeck has done years of research on this and vacuum is what is needed. Pressure works great for casting and squishing bubbles, but not stabilizing. I do both on...

Similar to Mike's method, the only thing I do differently is once the holes are drilled is to re-assemble the top and bottom halves, bring up the tail stock and touch up the cylinder alignment.
Have you ever turned a bowl? You copied it from the original, ever make a pen? It's copied. The facts are that it's impossible to duplicate another work. That piece of wood no longer exists, the...
Carbide tools are just another tool...no different than a gouge or a skew. You will typically find people don't use them because they don't like new things. Automatic transmissions and air...
I use a Robinaire and a HF vac pump for stabilizing. The setup is in the garage, not the shop. When I saw the oil cloud headed for the cars...well...it stopped. I picked up an oversized Fram Oil...
Turn it round, bore it and the toss it in DNA for a few days. Should take a few months off the drying time. It will warp...but the bore should need little tuning.
I stabilize in a 12"x12" tank. Stabilizing is just that, not filling. Cracks and voids are best done by more traditional means like CA with embellishments or other common means. For burls, punky,...
As a thought...try drilling it, put the shavings back in the hole and put the blanks in a Ziploc style bag. See if you can mediate the moisture release. Every chunk of ebony I have was received un...
Great nice job of keeping memories alive JD, recycling above and beyond!!
I'll claim ignorance on this one Charlie...what are the turned parts and what was done by non-turned means?
Your 14tpi will be fine Raymond. Light pressure and use a push stick. I've used a 6, but it gets messy! I use Ellis blades.
You'll find that many maples have an oddball grain leading to tear out. Leave it a lit thick and finish to thickness by sanding. Try not to focus on one tool or another, learn to use them all well...
Thanks for thinking and working for Pens Keith! Please keep in mind that slims are what fit in the pens sleeves best I still a siim from many years ago. They are welcome and needed by those of us...
Still have to back to a couple points...what did you find in the search function, and since the groups in your area failed you in epic fashion, have you sought others in your area with lathes you'd...
I use several of Daves beaders on a weekly basis. Although it does scare people...handles are of little use with these.
