What is this a "test" for Rich? Randy Clapper Happy to Turn Corners In GOD I Trust I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there...
I retired from the Police and thought I'd spend more time making pens. Instead I retrained and found I spent more time at work. I can't believe it's been...
Just to check if you were paying attention, Randy :-) (Can safely be ignored) ... -- Regards, Rich ======================================== Richard Kleinhenz ...
Great blank as usual and the pen you made with it is just as nice. It's good to see you back... making pens and posting about them. don't wait another 3 yrs to...
<i> Very nice. On your castings what process do you use? </i> There was a discussion here many years back on whether resin could be cast in the same way as...

This has the potential of becoming an interesting thread! Test obviously stands for The Easiest Spindle Turning or are there other options. You can see its...
I've been wanting to try my hand at some more creative segmenting with my pen making so I just purchased a Proxxon Mini Table Saw. After several attempts at...
Try a sharper blade or feeding slower. I don't think they make a blade stabilizer for that small of a blade, but it is something you could look into....
... Andy How do you know it is flex in the blade??? It could be a number of things. You could have arbor runout. You could have a bad blade that was not...
... Don, the way I remembered it was Jay said it couldn't be done and I took up the challenge. On May 25th 2004 Jay posted a reply message #47995 to my...
The blade would pull off center just a bit at the start of the cut or about half way through giving me uneven cross cuts or ruff edges when I ripped. The one...
Dick, And you are totally correct. I remember all of that now. Thanks for setting me straight. I remember Jay offering that challenge for finding a way to make...
... You wrote the blade would pull off center at the start of the cut. If the blade is a good sharp blade this should not happen. I am not familar with the way...
Andy, Check out Johns suggestion about something being loose. Unless the blade is REALLY bad it should still cut clean. My big table saw has a dado blade which...
... One other thing that maybe getting overlooked here is the fact your feed rate may be too fast. If all other htings check out pay attention to your feed...
Hi all I have a question to through out there. I have tried to stabilize both scotch and Norway spruce for blanks but have not had much success. I am trying...
If you want to send a piece to me I'll give it a try. I think I have finally found the stuff the commercial stabilizers use. I am modifying my set up to do it...
I'll give that a try and see what happens. Thanks Randy ... From: Ron To: penturners@yahoogroups.com Cc: penturners@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, June 05, 2009...
Sounds reasonable to try doing it under pressure, not vaccum. I know treated pine (the green one) is always prepared under pressure to ensure deeper...
Used to that at work once upon another lifetime - pressure treating wood etc, all the way up to telegraph poles! The idea was to drive the preservative, or in...
