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...

At present, I sand my rings flat on a 12" disk sander with 60 grit sandaper. At best, it is a slow and dirty job even with the dust collector. I am wondering...

Mick, I don't know about commercial units, but I've been able to go down to less than 4" with my home built unit. Double sided tape on a base board should do ...
As I've mentioned before, I tack my rings onto a plywood disc on a faceplate and turn one side of the disc flat. I then glue it to the bowl and turn the other...
I got into this thread a little late. Is there a commercial unit that can be put in the morse tapers of the lathe for sanding rings flat? If not, how did you...
I'm also jumping in late. I hold the ring in the SuperNova Cole jaws and use a sharp scraper to clean off any glue. I then sand using a 4" x 17" piece of...
Hi, I'm just getting started in segmented bowl. I've read many posting about glue. Most people perfer Titebond 2. Anyone ever use Gorilla glue for gluing up...
