Hi Greg, I've used the Stewart system for 16 years. I'm going to suggest you consider Jordan's handle and tools, mostly due to price. It's significantly less....
All, One of my hobbies beside turning wood into shavings is making cheese. Last night I was looking at all the shavings from my latest bowl and thought I could...
David, I do a lot of stacked segment work and found that wax paper is a good thing to protect clamps and other stuff from qlue squeeze out.? I have also...
I can just imagine the blanks you could create using a variety of shavings. Mixing light and dark woods could create some interesting effects. Greg ... From:...
Hi David, You can make some pretty end-grain that way. Really not kidding, we can't make side grain from chips. Suggest you try it with watered-down yellow...
David, Bob Lyons has been doing a similar thing with pages from phone books and newspapers. He was given an old freezer that would not work and he installed a...
Richard, Thanks for the suggestion of how to mix the glue. I think the press is up for the task, I can get up to 50lbs of pressure – that is what you need...

I would enjoy having some time on our mini lathes in just a sharing session like someone demonstrating a bottle stopper and everyone gives it a try. We could...
Very interesting looking! The main problem seems to be voids in the blank. Maybe some kind of vibration during the pressing like they do with concrete will...
