I would use the wipe on poly without thinner and oil. My reasoning would be that since the chalice is already sealed with shellac the oil won't give the piece any more character but may retard the...

I have a 1642 also. I love it. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
[QUOTE=Thom Sturgill;2028488]And Willie, NEVER use your SRG to round out a side grain blank. It is for spindle work only. The other tools may find a use for 'faceplate' work, but not that one. I...
Thank you for all the responses. I think I will go with the 1/2" V gouge and a round nose scraper.
My primary woodworking hobby is making furniture. To support that endeavor I have had a lathe of some sort for about 15 years. I would describe myself as spindle turner of intermediate skill. ...
Wow! Those are incredible. I'm very impressed.
I haven't been around for a while. I have been caught up in a lot of other things. I have gotten back into woodworking though over the past couple of months. Here is a jewelry bench I made for my...
Brett,
I would call that a Masterpiece. Thanks for showing us.
Very nice! I've always been partial to Scandinavian bench designs. You have executed it well.
I now work in a heated/cooled shop. But for my first 12 years of woodworking I worked in an unheated space. For that reason I have never adopted water stones. Since I already had sharpening tools...
Very nice! If that's your bench, I'd love to see your other work.
Wow. That is cool. Like someone else said, you don't see something like that everyday. Thanks for sharing.
Got some more work done this week. Sawed the moldings free, fared the curves and cut the miters. I fluted a block to serve as the pediment for a flame finial. Finally I turned the finial and...
Got some more work done over the weekend. Cut the moldings free, sanded and mounted them. Mounted the plinth block. Then built a bracket to mount it on the cabinet. Dry fit to size. Moldings for...
I love my 12" Chopmaster.
Started work on the gooseneck molding today. For all the people that have said carving it is not that hard, I say..., never mind. I started by bandsawing the inside edge. After fairing the curves...
Looking good Matt. I am planning to do a dining table sometime next year. I am not looking forward to working such a large flat surface. It looks like you've done it right though.
Very nice.
David,
Hiccups like that are common during any of my projects. Typically for me though it will occur when I have no stock left that will work for a repair. Nice work.
Beautiful.
Very nice. I'm not surprised the client was pleased.
Finished the base of the cornice. Next I have to build the goose neck bonnet that will complete the cabinet.

I used a similar chisel years ago when I worked as a glazier. We were replacing the windows in an old department store. The building was considered an historic landmark and as such much of the...
I finished the base of the cornice today. Picked up glass for the doors. The glass was not cut to the template size so back to the shop it goes (argghh). Here it is at the end of today.

Patrick,
I too like milk paint. However, this will be painted with a latex. It is currently wearing only a coat of primer though.
Here it is in the dining room. It only took a slight taper...
