Ken,
I know others have said this before but I really like looking at your posts because of the amazing photography not to mention your great turnings. Both are inspirational to me.

It doesn't come with a plug at all. I used a NEMA 6-20 straight blade with ground 250VAC plug from Home Depot. They also have the matching receptacle.

I got the Rikon that Wally mentions. I am very happy with it. I got it on sale for $100 off at Woodcraft. Much better resaw capacity than my old Delta 14" one.

I really love this bowl. Don't sell yourself short you did a superb job. Great photos too.

Joshua,
For what it is worth I live in Salt Lake too. Orders from McMaster Carr do not get here the next day. It usually takes a few days for me to get my orders with the normal shipping.

I really like what you have done with that amazing piece of wood. Great job.

Chris

The ones that I got from Craft Supplies say Moffatt on the light itself.

I second Mike Smith. I tried him after one of John's suggestions. Excellent wood and a real pleasure to deal with. I am hoping to try out a few of the other suggestions in this thread since I...

Thanks everyone. I did the bead freehand, that is one thing I would like to do a little better next time. Overall I am very pleased with the results. I have been inspired by most of you and the...

Here is a bowl I finished last night. It is Claro Walnut finished with only walnut oil. About 9" in diameter and 3" or so deep. The blank had two small cracks which I filled with epoxy and...

Wow. Nice job!

I have the same one. I like it very much it is quite comfortable. It works under my face shield just fine. I got the medium and I feel like the fit is very good.

Joe,
I am so sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that there are many of us thinking and praying for you.

Chris

Wow those are really great.

I'm having trouble imagining what the router setup looks like too. I'd love to see a picture.

This DVD is ready for the next viewer. This is for contributors only. It is John Keeton's DVD. You can find the instructions in his original post. First person to PM me your address.

I have a similar problem. I can't remember where I read it but I saw an article that claimed it can actually be caused by the lathe running too fast. I think it helped me a little when I slowed it...

I got the DVD yesterday. I will watch it and pass it on. Thanks Mike and thanks John for originating the excellent idea and for providing this particular DVD.

Chris

I'll borrow it if it isn't already gone.

Thanks.
Chris

Rob,
The Bill Grumbine DVD is well worth the price. I am sure it would help you tremendously. I found it very useful even after I had turned a couple of bowls.

Good luck.

Chris

Thom,
I got the Penn State adapter that adapts 1-1/4" 8 to 1" 8 http://www.pennstateind.com/store/LA11418.html It seems to work just fine for me. It was only $20 which was even cheaper than an...

Jeff,
I think you could charge a nominal fee for the plans, I'm sure there are lots of people here who would be willing to pay for them. I know I am always willing to pay for an innovative idea...

Does anyone know if the PSI collet chuck uses the same collets as the Beall chuck? I believe ER 32, is that right?

Thanks,
Chris

Bruce,
Thanks for the great instructions on how to make one. That is exactly what I am going to do.

Chris

I bought a 26mm forstner bit for making pepper mills with a Crush Grind mechanism. Unfortunately it isn't long enough to drill all the way through the body. Does anyone know where to get an...
