Great looking bowl.

I live in the Austin area and was wondering if you know of a mesquite source.

I received a great rest from sawmillcreek member Jeff Nicol for a reasonable price, I'm not sure if he's still making them but it might be worth sending him a PM.

Thanks for all the comments. It looks like PVC is the way I'll go, I really hadn't though that I could turn it down on the lathe.

Hello,

I'm looking to make a few lidded boxes to hold shaving gear when I travel and I'd like the lids to thread on. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment or skills to hand thread. So, I was...

I don't have a robust rest, but I do have very similar ones manufactured by Jeff Nicol. If you can convince Jeff to make you a few rests, they're definitely worth the cost and substantially less...

I guess I'll give it a shot, with 32. Thanks for the offer.

As much as I hate to admit it, it's pretty tough for me to get wood in Austin, I just haven't found a reliable source that I can fit into my work schedule. Like David, I'd be more than willing to...

I have the Versa Chisel - both the larger and smaller ones. At least for me, I haven't gotten much use out of them as I just can't seem to see the benefit they provided.

Not sure if this is the deal from last time, but I ran across this on the Gilmer Wood page:

As soon as you mentioned that, I remembered them as well. I think these are the ones:

But, for this price, it seems I might as well go...

After looking at Curt's ornament thread, I came to the realization that I'd like to try to make a few ornaments this year. As it stands, I only have larger hollowing tools, so in looking around I...

Hello, I'm currently on vacation in Kauai for a wedding and realized that I might be able to pick up some really attractive wood. But, I haven't been able to find any sources on the internet. Does...

Please count me in. Thanks

Please count me in. Thanks.

Please count me in.

Thanks for the advice.

I guess I'll go and re-cut this tenon (it was slightly damaged the last time it popped out of the chuck) and try again. The problems tend to happen when I try and face off...

I've tried to turn a few hollow forms and taller forms, but I keep running into problems with the form popping out of the chuck.

I have a Nova G3 chuck with #2 jaws. I'm starting to wonder...

John, actually I was hoping that someone who had experience with both could comment on the pros and cons of each. I could build my own -- I have some welding experience and a friend with a very nice...

So, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and acquire a hollowing system. I've hand hollowed one piece and really don't want to do that again, but I want to produce hollow forms.

Currently, I see...

Tim, it's not tilted but it is rotated. The lathe is a Nova 1624 which has a rotating headstock. I really like the lathe.

So, this piece isn't quite finished as I ran out of time on the lathe today, but I finally completed a hollow form -- well this is more of a closed form -- but still an achievement for me.

For the...

If I was to do it over again, I'd likely start with this set of tools: http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LXWM1007.html Overall, I like my Benjamin's Best tools and this will give you what you need...

I've been waiting to make this post for a long time as I ordered this lathe the end of October, but it just arrived. I bought it on the last day of the woodcraft sale after agonizing over the...

I love these. I spent a few weeks in Dresden for work a few yours ago and went and visited "The Green Vault" which is a museum that exhibits pieces from all sorts of different German kings. Anyway,...
