Sorry to chime in but I'm having the same problem. No daily emails from Classified Ads and the Turners forum for weeks. I cleared cache, checked my "daily notification by email" check box, and have...
What blade did you use if the WW2 didn't give good results? And what did you do differently to get a good glue up on the Mahogany?
Glad you published it John!
Thanks for the write up Neil. I've always been skeptical of Lyle's gouges having a parabolic flute (as he says they are) since Thompson makes them. Common sense says that if Thompson made parabolic...
I bought a variety pack from Hobby Lobby years ago. It had different color and types of birds.

I like the Super Penetrating and Super Duper, much easier to apply and wipe off excess on a bowl than the thicker original formula. All versions have a pleasant smell,...
A year ago I sent my McNaughton knife to Hunter Tools to have him modify it to accept the Korpro cutter. Hunter sends the knife to someone else to do the machining in the end of the knife to accept...
I also have had several customers that were super sensitive to any type of finish. They know more about how they will react to certain finishes than I ever will, so in those cases I'd sell them a...
I agree with others that Mineral Oil never cures, and as soon as you wash the bowl you wash off the mineral oil and wax. IMO both are a poor choice for a utility bowl. I've also tried Mahoney's and...
Lift Lock n’ Roll mobility system for Powermatic 3520 A/B lathe (also fits Jet 1642 lathes). Mine are painted Powermatic Gold instead of black like the later ones. They slide into place between the...
Neil if you're interested I have a Glaser Hi-Tec 3/4" bowl gouge with parabolic flute. It measures just under 1/4" thickness under the flute.

+1 for beards. I think people will buy them because they're cute, I doubt they care what type of wood was used.
A friend just sold one after her husband passed. I think she was asking $1400-$1500. She included half a dozen tool rests and a Nova chuck.
I hope the electrician is paying for everything!
D-Way has a 3/4" U shape gouge on sale (with or without handle). https://d-waytools.com/3-4-bowl-gouge-u-shaped-13-x-760-with-5-8-tang/
Give me their contact info and I'll buy all his Hamlet tools - Glenn Lucas and all. Hamlet are excellent tools with parabolic flutes. Sorby gouges have parabolic flutes also but I'm partial to Hamlet.
I wore out the original white wheel and a Blackstone wheel on my Tormek and replaced them with a 320 grit CBN years ago from Woodturners Wonders. Very happy I did and I can't imagine having to go...
Nice goblet! I think the proportions look good also. I wouldn't say it was useless turning either because you were practicing and honing your skills. I took a class with Jimmy Clewes years ago and we...
I have a Lift Lock n Roll that I don't use. I put them on my lathe and haven't moved my lathe for years so I took them off and they've been sitting in the corner.

I've tried a bunch of different discs from Industrial Abrasives, Vince's WoodnWonders, Norton, Mirka, Craft Supplies, Klingspor, Woodturners Wonders, and Uneeda. Here's my experience and opinion:

The Sanding Glove sells 3M Cubitron Ceramic discs and Norton Dry Ice.
It's hard to beat the FilmTek discs at Vinces. I think they are the best value for the price. I bought some in 1", 2", 3", and...
For my 3/8" bowl gouge (1/2" bar) I use jig setting 2, for a 1/2" gouge (5/8" bar) I use jig setting 3.

Give away or sell the shavings and let someone else do whatever they want with them. When I rough out a batch of bowls it's easy to fill a handful of 42-50 gallon contractor bags full of shavings. ...
