Oh, and it also is filled with brown rice.
Hello all, this is my newest creation. It is an offset turned/carved "J" baby rattle. The baby's name is Joshua and their family name also starts with a J, so I thought what better heirloom to...
Thanks all. This rattle was made for my sister's baby. The concept came from a "discussion" that me and SWMBO had. Let's just say I'm motivated by challenge. I have made maybe a dozen or so...
Haven't done much turning since breaking my elbow back in February. This is my first real project in many months. It is an offset-turned and carved whale baby rattle made from 10/4 cherry filled...
Oooooooh. Yes please!
Thanks gentleman for you input.
I have spent quite a bit of time reading over there on OWWM, back when I saw an old oliver 159 go up for sale. I hesitated back then to pull the trigger and...
Hi all,
I'm looking at a vintage powermatic 90 lathe for sale. It is circa early 1950's (gray), has a 12" swing with a 17" gap bed, outboard tool rest and faceplate, 110v motor, and by all...
I have this saw and would love a zero clearance insert for it :~)
Please count me in!
You must be in San Diego...I saw that ad too.
That is a beautiful chest. I would be very proud of that work!

Very nice job! I can't wait to see the finished product!!
CRQ - McClellan Airport. Don't live there per se...
And thanks Glenn!
Glenn, Where in Socal do you go? Or do you mail to a local shop?
I've heard it's hard as nails, but so was the pecan I've turned...
I bought 2 at that price and sold 1 on CL for $225....Paid for my brand new jointer!!!!!
Don't wait....seriously all the extras alone are worth a couple hundred.
Roy,
Richard is correct in suggesting to segment the layers. If you look closely the rings are segmented in your example piece. That is the best layout to minimize waste wood, IMO. Good luck and...
It looks to be just turned off center....Or rather the center has been adjusted to create a bias orientation.
Very Cool!
Jess,
Great to see you posting your work again! As always, nice stoppers. Hope to see you soon! :-)
Ribbon or none. You have made a very nice bowl.
