For nearly ten years I have used the tape from CRAFT SUPPLY in Utah. Works great. In fact it works so well that it must be removed from the work as quickly as possible. It has never failed for me....
Very nice work. I need to learn more about your use of purple heart. I have never liked to turn it.
Piece by piece I have acquired the complete Wolverine sharpening jig. Should have bought the entire set initially. My turning tools are now great. I am able to produce a consistent shape in a minimum...
I turn a number of pieces from myrtle wood but I find the natural appearance so pleasing I finish with lacquer sanding sealer followed by sever coats of spray lacquer. Then I complete the process...
I always admire the beautiful patterns that are revealed in turned wood. Looks like a beautiful production.
Wonderful. Sounds as if you are about to realize the dream of many woodworkers. Would suggest that you allow more space at the ends of your lathe. You may want to turn outboard sometime. Also, DO...
I too have tried several methods and after nearly ruining some tools I spent the money for the Wolverine system. Now sharpening is almost a pleasure. The results are consistent and the turnings off...
Wish my first had looked as great. I created a lot of firewood during numerous tries. Word of caution. From the looks of the pic you don't need any more tools. So save your money for wood and not...

The Ron Kent "soap soak" method is very popular just now, but I've not tried it yet. I rough out my green turnings then dry. In case of a bowl, turn walls to athickness of 10% of the diameter; put...
Has anyone had experience with either the Power Crafter or the Turbo Carver? I am thinking of buying such a tool and would appreciate any pertinent information. Thanks
I built our kitchen cabinets out of ash. They have been in use for nearly years without refinishing and still look great. Also, when I can get in 6/2 or thicker, I loves it for turning bowls,...
I have had a Woodtek 6" jointer for over ten years. Initially need careful adjustment and it has worked perfectly since.:)
The tips have made each visits easier. What a terrific site.:)
Found the Pond just as it was closing. Saw Mill Creek is just great. It is so easy to navigate. I'm looking forward to a great adventure. Thanks
My wife and I have found that the Flexcut palm carving tools are great. We bought a complete set at first and all but two proved less than useless. TREELINE is a good source of tools. Contact at...
