Brian,
Might not be a factor for you but for me, the primary factor in choosing the VL 240 was maintaining a comfortable posture because of back & neck issues. I've only had the machine for a few...
Call Bob Leonard at Frugal Vacuum and see if you can get a copy of his instructions for building your own cups. He shows a couple different way of doing it with different materials. Very helpful....
Tony,
Back in March I got a couple just cut Mulberry logs from a local tree service dump site. First and only time working with it so limited experience. Don't think I'll make a point of chasing...

Sweet piece of timber and the craftsmanship ain't bad either.
Is there an update to this situation?
My 20 year old hand me down 16" Craftsman electric chainsaw finally gave up the ghost last month. Replaced it with this Oregon CS 1500 that has a 18" bar and a self sharpening stone. Bought it mostly...

Thanks for the clarification John.

Nice save Roger.
Added precaution might be to wrap it with painters tape until you can determine exactly how sound the wood is inside while your hollowing.
Lisa,
My advice to you would be to contact Bill Blasic via PM on this site. He's probably less than 20 minutes from you and does classes. He'd get you off to a proper start.
I was thinking of doing that from the get go but have gotten the results I've been looking for every other time I've done the show polish thing, just gravitated that way. Thanks for the advice.
Robert,
Here's example of what this process does in a open grain piece such as oak. I was a little skeptical how it might work on a closed grain piece like maple but it actually captured the...
I've done numerous pieces following Russ Fairfield's video instructions from his video Coloring With Wax and have had great results. Granted, all of my experience has been with oak. Recently did a...
