Nicely done.

I'm partial to the older Viva towels, not the newer type they just came out with.

Butternut is extremely difficult to turn without tearout. You are on the right track with sharp tools and light cuts. In addition, I would suggest applying some oil (Watco, BLO) to the offending...

I've bought three lathes from Tool Nut and recommend them highly. I had a problem with the last one with delivery--the driver wanted to deliver it at the street and my driveway is 350' long. I...

Yes, it is a scam so DO NOT send any money. This company is even hitting major newspapers as well as other wood related publications. The Cleveland Plain Dealer has been running full page ads...

Not a problem Dan... I actually worked from my home in Ohio but the publisher was headquartered in NJ; I was not involved in the day-to-day politics.

Thanks, I appreciate all the positive comments. There was no "Formal Announcement" on the site as we were asked not to comment but the word got out quickly and I thought I should inform folks. Even...

Kelly also wrote an article for Woodturning Design on how to make the traditional pewa (butterfly) patches for bowls. Issue #3, Fall, 2004.

Quite nice! I have a piece of figured walnut I got from my brother that I didn't know what I was going to do with it--perhaps a nice platter will be a good use for it!

Contact Kurt Hertzog--he has had a blind student in class at Arrowmont and should be able to give you some pointers.

Nice work and you were an excellent student. We have Nick coming to the Erie Club next Spring and I'm looking forward to the demo and to the hands-on after. Nice meeting you in Tampa.

Nice simple walnut bowl; I really like it--and the stand!!

Don't forget to visit Eli Avisera--he runs a school there and is one of the nicest guys I've ever met! Message me and I will give you his contact inforamtion.

I just now saw that he was awarded the cover--well deserved.

Most excellent work--really stopped to study each one. Nice job!

The one from JT Turning Tools is the one I would buy if I were to do it over. We recently had a review on it by David Smith in a recent issue of WTD.

Without the can you couldn't tell the size--sign of a good job!

These are much better photos Alan. Nice job all the way around.

Nice job and you did well getting the grain to match on all three boxes. What's the finish? Cherry is sometimes difficult to sand and to get a good finish on as it tends to blotch--you did well. ...

My guess would be poplar if it grows in your area.

I'll do 93.

thanks!!

David Reed Smith reviewed the tool from JT Turning Tools in the last issue if Woodturning Design Magazine.

I always score the line about 1/8" to 1/4" deep with a skew or a sharp spindle gouge before tying to form the half bead. If the wood does split, hopefully it will stop where you scored the line. ...

The Automach, though pricy, is a great tool. I don't know if Automach is spelled correctly?

Nice piece--I like this one.
