Add me to the list, Thanks!

Jim, This is a cool idea, definately one to save for future reference!

Please count me in too, Thanks!

Maybe you could put the step pully on the motor side?

Looks like a good time was had by all.

Correct me if I'm wrong here; in the last photo, I believe Ken is working on what is known as a "Woodturner's Workbench" ?

I have it and love it. In it's price range I don't think there is anything better. I have a friend who has a Jet 1642 and he stopped by and turned on my lathe and was quite impressed with it. To...

I wish I could help, but I'm still stumped by the question of "what's heavier - a pound of feathers or a pound of lead"

I have the PSI sharpening 'clone' of the wolverine and have seen the wolverine at several places. The PSI is OK, but the Wolverine system is higher quality and better thought out. I am sorry I...

The Jr. Emporer is also another beautiful pen that uses the same drills. What do you guys think about the postable cap versus non threaded ends?

Both of those drives are spec'd for single phase or 3 phase, why would you have to derate them?

I have the Nova, and have no complaints. However, it only takes one accessory, like the bed extension for $200, to put you in the price range of the Jet, and still no VS. If I had to do it over,...

Maybe because they aren't comapny stores they can get around the sales tax. I don't get charged sales tax when I order from woodcraft online, but I do from other companies that have a store in my...

Minwax wood hardener works pretty good, but plan on using about 1/2 a $8 bottle per bowl.

I had forgotten why I didn't turn pens on my Nova 1624, but you're right, the tool rest is 12" with a 1" post. I use my Jet Mini, which I think still has a tool rest too long at 6". I do have a...

Nova Handwheel is a $28 accessory

More experienced turners correct me if I'm wrong here. I have trouble with scrapers inside of bowls too.

I think when you scrape it should be with just a small portion of the edge, as you move...

I started a canoe from just plans bought from Newfound Woodworks. I had virtually no woodworking experience, but found it quite fun and easy. I was nervous about the fiberglassing part, but if you're...

Congratulations Bernie and David!

Thanks brodie, this is a project I've been thinking about.

Count me in!

Thanks for the Donation Reed!

Thanks Steve and Mike!

That's a great use of space! Makes me wonder why I need more room (it's to have other junk laying around and getting in the way...).

That's beautiful Phil! What are the dimensions?

Thanks for the tips Jim and Paul.

I have an opportunity to cut up a huge maple tree and want to get a few blanks for bowls and hollow forms.
