A useful tool is called a Garden Dibbler.....very English ol' chap!
Really nice work Barry. Thinking outside the box, and re-cycling too. How do you drill the "weed hole"? While it is square prior to turning?

Tim,
I wonder if these could be used for side grain glue-ups to create bottle stopper blanks? Most are 1 3/4" or 2" square by 2 1/2" or 3" lengths.
A couple of tips I got about using rattle-can anything that helped greatly.
1) Make sure the can is at appropriate temperature. Might need to sit can in warm water for a few minutes.
2) Shake...
Thom,
Which tip #'s do you have? Which do you find creates the best signature? I have been looking at the Optima quite seriously lately.
Thanks
David,
Interesting formula. I have played with thinned epoxy in the past for fishing lure topcoats. Are you using the 5 minute quick set or 30 minute variety? Do you need to make a fresh mixture for...

Here is the set-up I use for sanding only. The first pic shows how it is attached to the board. There is a slot cut into the board so that the Hood can be adjusted "in and out" to accomodate...
Sounds crazy, but has anyone had success in using your curly shavings for hair on turned objects???? I am wanting to use them to make my Snowman and a Snow Woman.
thanks.

Thanks......very cool!
Do you reset the leg angle when sharpening bowl and spindle gouges? Or keep it the same for both like the AAW article?
After seeing on the NOVA site about their $900 motor upgrade, I picked up my jaw and got to thinking about Steve Harder's 2010 post/article here on his upgrade. For those of you that have done it,...
Very nice! I am thinking you may have just added several "honey-dos" when word gets out!

Very Cool! Functional Art....love it! Any chance of a picture of the back? I must admit to being quite intrigued on how you accomplished installing the "floating" mechanism.
Excellent piece!

Nice looking wares and displays! Best of Luck with the sales. Are you using anything other than friction fit to adhere your silicon stopper to the dowel?

Doug-Glad to hear you are only rattled and not injured! I have been interested in doing laminations involving paper joints down the road. I hope it is ok to ask this here Doug, not wanting to...
Gene- You'd be surprised at the choices that are out there. I get some from a lady/company in Louisville....sort of gourmet, and very tastey. They are: Bourbon Garlic Smoked Sea Salt and Sherry...

James-Nice re-purposing of the pen blank leftovers! I have a few myself and have debated on the best way to attach them for re-turning. Would you please share your method? Epoxy or CA or hot melt...

You are right Richard. My reference was to spindle oriented turnings (be it finials, handles, pens, eggs, etc). Pieces that have the grain running with the ways.
I have read, almost without fail,...
When sanding on the lathe, to avoid the concentric rings, at what point/grit do you usually begin to sand with the grain after turning off the lathe? I am thinking that after every grit may be the...

Here is my version of the Big Gulp. I only use it when sanding. It simply drops in bewtween the ways and slides left and right as needed. I cut a slot in the plywood base that allows the hood to be...
