Hi Jared, If you want to try something a little different and not lay out a bunch of money you could give these a try. I call them "The Poor man's Chinese Ball". The inside ball is by no means...

Thanks for the opportunity Kathy, it was a great idea and I think everyone had fun with it. Way to be 39 Dwayne.

9 pages in one day! has to be a record Kathy. Because it's a number I have entered into a computer so many times I would like to go with 192 please. Thanks Kathy!

This one was kind of eerie for me. I didn't even notice until I was finishing it.

I have the same set of tools that I purchased from Trent when he came to our club for 4 days of demo's and I really like them. It probably helped that I had instruction from Trent himself, so it may...

Costco actually! :D

Steve, I guess I never noticed that I didn't have my location set. I will get that done now. I am in Columbia Falls, MT and a member of the Glacier Woodturners. Unfortunately...

Hi David, here's how I held the balls that I just posted pics of when I did my hollowing.

I have recently been having a fixation with sphere's too. The one in the center I turned about a year ago and that was going to be that. Well our local turning club wants me to do a demo on them in...

I turned this one a couple of years ago.

As far as tools on an plane, our club recently had Trent Bosch come give a 4 day class. He travels with his tools in a tool box that he checks in. I purchased a couple of his handles and I asked if...

Thank you everyone for the great replies! I had a lot of fun doing this. The smaller spindles actually went pretty easy, I can't think of one I messed up on, but I bet I have at least 3 of the A...

This was a very last minute piece I decided to do for entry into our local fair. I call it a Ferris wheel but many have said it looks like a water wheel. I thought Ferris wheel was more appropriate...

This has been a shorter and cooler summer than we normally have here in north west Montana. This last week its been in the mid to upper 80's. Some of the higher mountains will still have snow when it...

Can you believe Ian was complaining to me that his wife was trying to get him to buy more tools!? Those are beautiful guys! I hope things slow down for you so you can make it to some meetings.

I have made several pipes and it is necessary to only use 2 jaws. This is because the shape of the block of wood you start out with is not square and also because even if it were you would not be...

A couple of weeks ago just as the sun was going down the wife and I headed out to the hot tub. As we were getting ready to take the top off I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye, I...

Not sure if this is even close but I picked up a couple of these for work and have been trying to figure out a way to use one for turning. (I was thinking for lights) They are built heck for stout...

I think this will be a great app and definitely one I will use but I don't think its ready yet. When I saw this post I immediately downloaded the app, went out and snapped a leaf off one of my birch...

Wow Ian, I think out of everything I have seen you two do so far this is my favorite! Just outstanding!

That looks awesome guys, can't wait to see it at the next meeting!

Whew! What a great time I had the last 4 days. Glacier Woodturners here in north west Montana has hosted Trent Bosch for the 4 days. We had 3 days of hands on with 7-8 people each day, and 1 day of...

Hi Skott, I did end up with some slight differences between the different growth rings but not too bad. But no tricks really just power sanded it. And thanks everyone else for your kind comments.

I don't turn bowls very often but I am pretty happy with this one. Late last spring one of the local towns took down 16 ash trees and our turning club was fortunate enough to get all of them. I...

Nice looking Farmall Baxter! I spent many an hour going round and round on a Super C. Wasn't as nice as your H though. Oh yeah nice looking wood too!

I built my own using a blower out of a furnace. I use 2 filters on it, one for the heavier particles, one for the finer ( I can recall what micron they filter though). It also helps circulate the air...
