If it goes with the design (i.e. the bowl of the spoon is round in the axial direction), one can remount the spoon in the chuck and hollow it out on the lathe. If a vacuum chuck is at hand, one can...

I have used it for various projects in the past. I used the cheap white vinegar from the grocery store, and I don't even remember where the steel wool came from. The first thing to keep in mind is...

Yeah, it usually doesn't rain here that time of year as well.

We got some feedback last year that a few folks might be interested in one day registration. That is a new registration option this...

Nice!!!!!!!!!

I've worked with bandsaws all my life. I still have a health respect, no matter what. I always try to stand to the side of the blade, and keep my hands close to my body and move the wood like a...

I love the scoop the most! Very original design. I have made a few spatulas/spoons/scoops. They are a lot of fun.

I got a 120 volt off ebay as well. I don't remember what I paid. I used the 'Lowe's DIY Vacuum chuck setup' that's out there. I think the isle numbers have changed since it was written, but other...

Folks,

Somebody stopped by the house a number of months back. They noticed some spheres with tenons that I am turning to construct some table legs. He asked me, "are you turning bowling balls?"...

Keep in mind that if you do go barefoot, you need to practice catching sharp objects *between* your toes beforehand.

I think the last time some club members were there they said that it was a tough crowd. Not a lot of buyers. Something about people not believing that they had turned a hollow form that was so...

Which show did you do Jason?

They are all good! I really liked the box. I need to find out more on how you did the lid, and I assume you did a rim for it to sit on?

I don't buy anything from harbor freight anymore. I bought some wood clamps and other things that were low cost, but after they broke, etc. it's just not worth it in the long run. I expect to keep...

You could do some pretty elaborate segmented pieces!

With impending rain, I decided to pull the weeds in my backyard instead of spray them. So I got out my trusty length of rebar which is ground to a point, and started poking the stones & pulling up...

If you get here by Feb 5th, you can join us for the symposium as well. I don't believe we're doing a meeting in February, but you can stop by in March and check it out. Guests can enjoy their first...

Yes, the penturner's demo, the instant gallery, and the vendor's area are all open to the public.

Another thing to note is this year we have SOLD OUT the vendor's area. It seems many vendor's are ready to unload their inventory at discount.

Also, if you are into turning pens, the IPA is...

If you sit real still at night in the garage, you can sometimes hear them munching !

I think in some cultures, they are a gastronomic delicacy!

If the wood piles don't turn up what you need, you can buy local as well:

They have a variety of turning blanks, and price-wise they are one of the lowest in town...

Light touch with a fine or very fine diamond card. Sometimes clean up the edge on the grinder 100 grit. If you want a very agressive burr, than use a course wheel, don't hone.

You need to start selling those over the internet. There's a lady who sells tumbleweed over the internet, so why not giant acorns?
