Hello All The Adirondack Woodturners Association would like to announce its intention to hold its second woodturning symposium in Albany ,NY on October 30 and...
Hello - I'm lurking, trying to chew my way through the 2000 or so messages in the back stacks before I start to pester you. I've done some turning, but my...
Dan, I am not an expert, but I would say these are more than necessary. I bought a cheap set of 8 tools from Harbor freight. I had to re-sharpen them, and...
Guys: I'm a machinist that's a part time wood turner... or maybe a beginning part time woodturner. And what I don't know about wood turning, and turning tools...

Dan, and others: On sharpening. I'm not an expert at any of this, but I've had some experience, and a lot of experiments. On sharpening. The finer the "media"...
That's what it says on the MD DNR site I quoted. I'd guess that the true number is somewhat smaller, like maybe 38.2 feet, but that'd put it at about 12 foot 3...
O.k. enough is enough lol Just a few thoughts from last night's turning....After getting the night off on the right foot by making a nice gun stock laminate...
Thanks for giving us a laugh. I doubt there's many of us who haven't had something fly off the lathe. Before I started doing segmented work I used to do a lot...
Now I know I'm not the only "chunker"...... My 2nd bowl attempt the "whole chunk" blew off the lathe, hit me 3 places, caused a few "owies", and a good war...
Hey Chris: I know you posted this quite awhile back, but I just got the chance to read it. Your thoughts on replaceable tool bits make perfect sense to me. In...

Yes, I can say I've been there and done that one except it was a nice piece of spalted pecan that weighed about 12 Lbs. Centering the wormwood screw when the...
I think you will have better luck gluing with tightbond or elmers carpenters glue. I find the cyano acrylate glues soak in and do not bond wood that well. Go...
So I can learn from this are you saying not neing so stingy with the glue the first time around would have helped prevent the chunking problem. And would say...
I decided to turn a fresh piece of wood a few years back. I was new to the lathe, and was still learning proper holding of the tools. I cut a small chunk of...

Actually, the spalting didn't have anything to do with the flying log. It was the fact that I got a little too agressive and the wood was slightly pithy on the...
My biggest Chunk happened in 1987, I was making a solid walnut vase 14Dx 16h. I had it mounted to the faceplate with 2 1/2" #12 Stainless Stell screws. It was...
What I hate are soft screws. I've just about given up on decking screws because even a square drive will round out the heads. Maybe I need to predrill holes ...
As far as screws go, I only recommend a sheet metal screw, as large a diameter as your faceplate will allow (drill it out if neccesary) I prefer Stainless. I...
I am glad to hear all of these stories. I think everyone is right about the wood glue vs CA glue tip. It never hurts to be reminded about sharp tools. I...
