Doug called. Everything resolved. Good guy.
Thanks all. I will be patient. Sure it will work out.
March 19 and 20. And two phone calls today. Found a different email address on my PayPal receipt and just tried that. Yes, I have always had fast service. I am sure it will work out. It just...
Hi, I have been trying to reach Doug re some tool returns. No response via email and his voice mail box is full. Any news on Doug? Jerry
I have used the ceramic guides on my Laguna 16HD for 10 years. My shop is still standing. Not even any smoke or embers. I like the sparks because they remind me to stay awake and keep my fingers...

I like it Bernie! Good going to come up with a design that met the time constraints and the material on hand. The inlaid rings make it special.
I have recently worked a smaller black fitting...
I recall old time chair makers will put dry spindles (or in our case HSS) in a green wood mortise. The hole shrinks, locking the spindle (or the tool) TIGHT. The tool may turn black inside the...
Reed,
Good points. I did not pick up on them, and would have had the same reaction. I still feel the video overall is of great value as an introduction, not to replace hands-on with an...

The Mustard Monster Site, under the Electrical Page, has a link to a couple discussions for filtering. But I too haven't had any problems either with radio, or driving internet radio over a wireless...
Loaded open-ended question! What kind of wood? How green? What kind of cut - no pith? balanced grain? quarter sawn? What kind of Finish? But one answer is a few days in a paper sack indoors with...
Congrats on your Delta. I think you will love it. All good advice above. Sharpening is a skill much like turning, only different.

Also, Ed Davidson has two videos on turning pendants and off-center design...
The little detail of the repeating half "V's all the way from the base to the finial... The framing of the burl by the light wood, the form, the photography, no wonder Mrs. Keeton grabbed that one.
HERE are some notes I prepared for a sharpening workshop. It has a link to Elsworth's original drawings and also a drawing of the wooden jig I designed. I still use my wooden jig for odd leg angles...
Irwin Speed Bore 6" $7 and 12" $8 are both handy sizes and the price is right. Available from Ace Hardware HERE and you can order and pick up at nearby store no shipping cost. You can use your hand...
the simple clean form sets off the nice details. The design choices are very well made. Thanks for posting!
that comes with decent wheels at $110 did the job for me. Item #150780. Wheels lasted a good while until I replaced them with Norton 3X. I then added the Oneway balancing system and the grinder is...

It is complete and solid information, even if some of us do this or that a little...
Mark,
I teach beginning turning a lot and tried to come up with a minimum budget in response to a lot of questions from students. The budget is based on the Rikon Model 70-100 12" Mini Lathe. ...
is included in this near professional quality video. Your critique of your work as you go along, your choice of tools, tool presentation, alternative processes. Very nice contribution. I...
and it replaced a Jet mini VS that I used for teaching and demos. I found that it is nearly as portable as the mini if the banjo and tailstock are removed. I have put a handle in the extension...
and it makes it dead smooth. But you have to replace the wheels with a larger Dia hole. So maybe use up the WC wheels first, unless you want it to run more smoothly.
upgrade for my Jet Mini. Behaved that way before it quit entirely and burned out some circuitry. I am sure Delta has better quality electronics, but I wonder if the basic VS technology of low end...
