Does anyone know where to get a 3M Battery Pack, voltage 3.6, part number 529-04-50. 3M no longer makes them. Used in my 3M face shield.

Sent this thread to the finishing section, but thought I had better send it to the turning forum as well as that is the one I usually look at.

My son had made a butter knife holder for his...

Question if I should use "Bush Oil" for finishing a 10" x 7" block of Paduck wood holding butter knifes.

This block was treated with Mineral Oil, but the finish is showing up with what looks like...

In turning, I have used a doublesided tape that I purchased at Woodcraft for that purpose. The backing seems to come off easy. The Rockler store in Portland may have the same thing.

Has anyone find a way to clean the nips on the fountain pens. I have given a couple of fountain pens away and shortly after getting them the folks tell me that the ink is not flowing through them.

Hello Dennis:

I am still not sure what you are telling me, other than to cut the log down through the middle, a little to the side of center on each. Looking at your first picture, I am seeing a...

Dennis:

Have been following the procedure for drying using DNA, and guess when I really get to turn a green bowl, this is the procedure I will use.

Now a couple of questions>

What do you...

I posted eariler on using the liquid method, trying to get some answers. All replies to me were helpful. What I would really like to know is the step by step action taken for LDD

Thank you all for replying to my question. Now I need to get a green 10-12" dia log, somehow split it down the middle (I guess that is what you do) and then rough turn a bowl and decide which method...

Bernie replied that he uses denatured alcohol. Bernie, how do you do that?

Ed

Hope to be turning some green bowls in the near future. I have read several posts on the drying of the bowl after turning out a rough bowl. Have heard that one method for drying is to soak the bowl...

Thank you all for your comments. Not able to get on Saw Mill Creek yesterday, so am just catching up. To answer some of the questions.

For drilling the hole through the center for the wire, used...

Latest lamp turned. My sister wanted a floor lamp for her daughter's 25th anniversary. Made from birds eye maple and cherry.

I am using, I believe a 3/4", that has a curve end to it. I do find it harder to sharpen as I cannot put in my wolverine jigs to sharpen.

I find myself not having any cathe's with it.

Yes, turned the lamp in 2 pieces. Mated the body with the base with a tenion about 2" by 3/4". Looking at picture number 4, you will see that I put a 1/4" grove in the base before turning. Also...

OK, only the last picture loaded. Tried loading 5 at once. Here are the pictures on the glue ups.

Attached, I think, will be pictures of the latest lamp that I have turned. Got to find a better place to take lamp pictures. The first 4 pictures are how I glued up pieces for the body and base of...

Thank you to all that answered the question on what chuck to buy. I guess that I have 2 SN chucks, but am now looking for (I think) the jaws for mounting a bowl with the bowl side in. Have just...

Here are some pictures of a glued up piece. Does not show very much. The one displayed with the finished lamp probably gives the best clue.

Ed

Used WinWax Antique Oil Finish. Put 4 coats one, 1 each day.

I now drill out the centers after I have finished the body of the lamp. First one I did, about 3 or 4 years ago now, I made a hollow...

Well hte first one loaded, so lets try another one.

This lamp was made from cherry and black walnut at the request of the individual receiving it.

The Christmas ornaments are some that I turned...

OK:

This is the first time that I have tried to post a thread. Also the first time of attaching an image.

Have done a couple of lamps lately, but am only going to attach 1 for now to see if I...

Hello out there:

OK - I took my splitter and blade guard off of my Powermatic 66. I found it a nuisance. I also use a thin kerf blade on my saw.

Have seen a lot of articles lately on Sawmill...

We are taking up our rugs after 25 years. Any idea on how to clean the hardwood floors. Eventually going to have them refinished.

Jerry:

Very nice looking. Have not yet had time to build. Am working on completing another 4 Christmas Ornaments which I should complete today, or tomorrow at the latest.
