Such a loss. He was a great demonstrator and an inspiring artist. He will be missed!
When I think of platters, I think of Tom Wirsing. A Google search yields a bunch of hits with pictures, dimensions, etc.
My go to smock is from Timberbits: https://www.timberbits.com/timberbits-smock-green.html
Yes, not in the US, but it converts favorably into USD, and ships quickly.
I'm not touching a bar stool made with sad and stressed joints.
I want to buy my second machine first. I’d love a 4x4, but I think the shop only justifies a 2x4. I can live with that. I’m looking at the Avid Pro, but really only because the footprint is slightly...
My perwonal experience has been with floors under carpet, but in case it helps, here was the process. After removing the carpet, the floor was doused with at least two applications of Nature's...
I have not experienced any issues with my AB with my Vicmarc chuck (VM 120, direct thread)
On more than one occasion, from more than one vendor, I have seen shipments stay in "preshipment" status up until it arrived and the status was suddenly "delivered." Frustrating, I agree.
This is my latest sculpture in progress. I do the glass fusing as well, but I am particularly happy with how the burl progressed.
I use a Vicmarc 120 with the 9" and 8" jaws 9n my AB. No issues with even 25"x8"deep bowls, coring and all. I think about a 11x17, but truly can't justify (budget is an issue here ;)
Google Translate helps a bit. Prise is around $500 US dollars. https://www.drechselbedarf-schulte.de/drechselbaenke-maschinen/zusatzgeraete/jaho-guillochiergeraet/885/guillochiergeraet-jaho
I just ordered one. Looks like just what I was looking for, and at a great price!
I have a friend in upstate NY selling one, if you're interested in an introduction let me know.385041385042
When? Love the idea!
If the cutter is square to the banjo, perhaps you could cut a series of setup blocks to use for adjusting the distance between the headstock and the banjo.
I tried Woodcraft Bands for my last order, and was very impressed with the quality of the blades received and the service during the sale. I will purchase from then next time, no question.
When I was debating between an American Beauty and a Sweet 16, I called Robust and they helped me find local owners so I could see both in person.
I just purchased the new $99 wheel from Ken with the aluminum center. Should be here on Saturday, so I'm hoping to get some experiences with it over the weekend.
I lift mine with a car jack, one side at a time, and put a tri-dolly under each corner.
Thank you. I love my Robo Rest!
The auto spell check in this new computer stinks. I dish the tenon in the middle to help make the bottom thinner. Nother enough to either decrease the strength or not leave enough room to sweeten on...
I love green walnut. One of my favorite woods to turn to very thin finish thickness on the first turning. When I twice turn, I follow standard (for me) process with good luck. Turn thickness to 10%...
I agree. I started with the Hold Fast, and moved to a Frugal for the same reasons as Fred. Very happy with the decision!
I just "upgraded" from a Venturi setup to the Frugal. Wow! Very quiet and powerful. It is a wonderful new world.
