Robert, good looking potpourri bowl. I had no idea the wood was so beautiful.
I got the willies when I read your title. A Bahamian friend one tangled with some live poison wood. His whole arm...

I like it very much. I bet people will just have to pick it up, which could be a problem. You've got me thinking about how to make it less fragile.
Thanks for sharing.
Robert.
I got my piercing drill by asking my dentist if he had any old dental air drills laying around. He gave me one for free. It is an angled head drill but I find it comfortable to use. It...
Bob, I think you did well. I have seen people asking a lot more for your lathe.
I have a pdf copy of the owner's manual for your lathe. PM with your email address and I'll send it to you.

I really like this piece. It is beautifully done. I can truly appreciate the skill it took to pull it off.
I don't think I could bring my self to sign the bottom either. I like the idea of a...
Thanks Doug.
That was a good find with the magnet. It just got added to my to-do/buy list.
Doug,
I also use my remote switch all the time. I only use the on lathe switch to power down the lathe for the night. I used the same switch as you did and I usually just bump the switch with the...
Just to throw another idea into the fire.... What if you buy the VFD and motor with the idea of someday using both on a bare bones Vicmarc VL300. I almost went that route but lacked the cash. Others...
What a great gift that will be forever cherished.
You're raising a great daughter.
I met Beth Ireland last month and she has used West System epoxy.
She did caution us to use gloves and a respirator when using epoxy. Beth developed a severe sensitivity to epoxy because of her...
Jack says he doesn't like sanding.... but then he goes and sands the insides of his hollow forms! :)
Do you ever sell the matching hollow form and bowl together?
Jack,
Beautiful! Did you use the Cobra for these?
Mark
Scott,
I like your piece. I can appreciate your pain as I have tried piercing myself.
I guess the sound of a dentist's drill doesn't bother you either?

Gary,
The Surplus Center used to carry them but seem to not stock them any more.
Maybe this thread from earlier will help you.

Congrats on your soon to be new lathe.
I bought my Jet 1642 from them earlier this year. Great customer service.
Way too easy to spend money with them. :)
Rick,
Beautiful piece. You should be proud.
Mark
I can vouch that it really happened. :) Sorry, I didn't take pictures either.
Thanks for a great demo on coring bowls and making a turkey pot call. We enjoyed having you.
I plan on making a...

I like both pieces, but the box is something I want to pick up and examine. Nicely done.
Wow, indeed! Wonderful piece.
Sure wish talent like yours could rub off to me via the internet.
Welcome Steve,
I think I've heard your line before. I'm a rookie, I've never played poker before,..... :)
Nice work and please keep sharing it with us.
Maybe nothing special for you.... a little treasure to the rest to the world. Nicely done.
Lee,
It was great meeting you and your wife. My first Creeker sighting!
You had a great looking booth and glad you had a good show.
Give me a shout if you're back this way and we'll make...
Jack,
No need to be nervous. We are a friendly group and will treat you well.
I am a member and will be there. I don't know of any other Creekers that are members but there may be others.

Kurt,
You are off to a great start.
It looks like you are hooked and on your way to spending money.
I'm expecting any day now my wife is going to walk into the shop and say "Step away from...
Roger,
I would second Steve's comment about taking it slow. I still remember my first lesson. There was a lot if information thrown at me in 4 hours.
I find that some people will tell you they...
