Thanks Steve. I'll look around about removing the exif stuff. Yes, the inside and out side don't match. The bowl started out as a blank that I messed up by drilling the hole too big for the screw...
Finally done what I'm calling my first bowl.
I'm not real happy with the shape but the guy giving me some pointers and initial cuts kind of locked me into the shape.
They sure look bigger on tv...
This time of year I wish I lived a little further south for some nicer weather but I'm up here in Illinois just west of Peoria.
I don't think my boxer dogs would survive a long trip. (one of them...
I've seen similar on the net and liked the idea but I just used the ferrule because I bought a kit mainly for the longer walnut blank it had. Do you make yours for sale?
It looks like you have it...

Said they were his father-in-laws and he knew his fil had a lathe but knew nothing about these chisels. My friend had...

Maybe I'll get lucky and can save the ferrule.
Thanks
New turner and was making my first handle for my thompson bowl gouge.
It was a kit from one of the stores online, anyway I put some epoxy in the drilled hole and must have put to much because the...
I haven't getting the desire to drive anywhere lately. High might have been 5 today says 1 for tomorrow and our big heat wave is next sunday with 31! Time to get out the sunblock.

I do live near Knoxville! Unfortunately it's Knoxville IL.
Two clubs around. One in the quad cities which is 80 miles away and the other is in Peoria one month then Bloomington the next. 35...

I ordered the raffan book and the foundation course from my usual place, Better world books. Usually they aren't too bad speed wise even with media mail. Anyway, I...
You ever read the Harry Bosch novels by Michael Connely?
A lot of them are set in the parks around L.A.. Kind of neat to see an actual picture of the place after reading about it in a book.
