I make a lot of tool handles and buffed and waxed is one of my favorite finishes. I use it frequently.

Steve,

Congratulations on your AB. I've had one for a while and I'm sure you'll love yours. This was one case where I bought my last lathe first.

I've been studying your very well done tutorial...

My 1939 Stanley catalog lists both the 750 and 720 in 1 3/4"

Jim,

Unless you can point to a documented case of this happening in a home shop, I believe you are perpetuating a myth. The theory may sound good but reality just doesn't back it up. There are...

Martin,

No one who meets you ever forgets you. Keep the shiney side up.

Kevin,

For me, the tarnish is a non issue, all uncoated brass will tarnish in time and it cleans up easily. The initials are another story, and I agree they should have been revealed it the...

Semi-gloss white. Totally satisfied, no glare problem, would do it again.

Lewis,

Just asking, what about a small lean-to behind the garage to house the compressor? Sure would simplify things.

George

Lewis,

I think you may have a good situation, actually. Since the air is quite warm when leaving the compressor and must cool in order for the water vapor to condense you will have a very...

Great tutorial, Doug. Thanks for posting. George

perhaps it's an ultra rare D7.5 :D:D:D

I had trouble with side to side wobble. Don Geiger posted a brief tutorial that suggested trial and error with paper shims to take the wobble out. Small Avery labels or notebook hole repairs work...

The left part of the private messages, on my computer, are obscured by the boxes on the extreme left. IE the boxes are on top of the message

I'd like to offer another option for moving heavy shop equipment without help. I use a cherry picker, also known as an engine hoist or a shop crane. Depending on the boom extension, most are rated...

Steb Center for most projects. Oneway safety drive with the spring removed for some spindle projects.

Steve,

You just don't understand. That's just not the way real wood turners do it. You're taking the easy way out. You'll never really learn to turn if you use these cheater tools. You must use...

Tim,

Brent English, owner of Robust is a member of this forum also. His tool rests are available direct from Robust or from numerous suppliers. I'm not familiar with the Nicol rest, but I can...

From Alan Lacer's web site:

"the short point side rounded back to the ferrule, the long point side chamfered back to the ferrule."

A great source of information about the skew.

Here is my solution. Something similar might work on your rolling cart.

Thanks Steve and Mark. I was using MSN Explorer which evidently doesn't support zoom. When I use Internet Explorer zoom works just fine. I appreciate the input.

George

Thanks for the response Bill, however your suggestion has no effect on my system (Windows 7).

Most oils and varnish that I have used tend to add a yellow hue to the project. Normally I like this, but I have some projects that I would like to finish without this yellowing effect. What is your...

I find the new smaller font difficult to read.:( Is there some way to increase the font size?
Thanks.

LLC usually is a suffix that follows a company's name and is an abbreviation for Limited Liability Company. A google search for LLC tools and LLC lathe tools did not reveal a company by that name....

I disagree with your logic. Are you a licensed electrician? Does a 16 ga wire plugged into a 20 amp circuit violate that same rule? If so then an awful lot of lamps and other devices are in...
