Turns out that this would be a cheap/easy way to adapt a chuck to...
Really nice piece! Good work!
It is a bit difficult to work, but worth the effort. Very pretty.
If you're careful and learn how to work it, it becomes not such a big deal.
It's a little stinky, but not nearly as bad as...
No soldering. The bail for the cord covers the joint.
Wow! Those look awesome!!
The earrings start life as little squares of wood glued to a dowel. Pin chuck.
The pendants are turned thrice. Bottle stopper mandrel, then twice in a soft 4 jaw chuck.
You can find hardware...
Made some turned jewelry. Earrings and pendants.

I placed a huge order (to me) for pen kits from Craft Supply.
I got the order, but found out then to my horror that the bushings for the Jr Gent's II kit are all on backorder. It's a big order...
Patrick,

Bob, I rough-turned the box and DNA soaked it for a day or two, then wrapped it in paper for a week, then unwrapped and dried another three weeks.
No cracks.
I did another box that did...
Made this box. Sure is pretty wood.

Really neat, Jim!
I like it! Excellent work.
Great! Thanks Travis. Just bought one. I've been looking for just the thing.
Due to stiff competition from the likes of the Borgs, Amazon, and other online retailers, the prices of heavy equipment stay pretty low. For the business owner, there's not much of a profit margin...
Bought the Jet a few weeks ago. Like it.
The Delta in the showroom was falling apart. Never test drove the ridgid, but I knew I wanted heavy construction and a tilting table.
It runs...
So I happened to have some DNA at home, fresh off the shelf, and decided to see what was in it. It's what I do...
I performed a GC/MS analysis to see the organic components. See the linked pdf...
Once the volatiles have left, anything treated with denatured alcohol should be quite safe.
Denatured alcohol is mostly pure ethanol that has had some methyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol added so...
