I have used fbmp regularly over the past year and a bit and have found it as good as kijiji. Just my thoughts

Personally I use the hose clamps from wherever I can get the best deal, I use them for segmented staves used them for Christmas ornaments, but the secret is proper joints then you don't have to...

Just finished an east to west trip 12,850 kms. Ontario to BC and back with some visits(granddaughters and son in Vancouver, daughter in Edmonton) and sightseeing along the way. We spent 6 weeks on...

There is a plan for a pantograph here. http://woodgears.ca/pantograph/

Bob in his final couple of weeks really blessed me with a wonderful kind act. I was having an issue with my lathe so I posted on a forum asking for help with it. Bob responded with saying that he...

Bob Hamilton who some of you may know for his youtube videos and I believe he was a member here has passed away. Bob messaged me about a month ago asking if I would like to buy his lathe(a Oneway...

Up in Ontario here I am able to get ofcourse the Oneway, but that is a little out of my price range, my Craftex CT128 just quit on me and a call in to the distributor told me that the head for that...

I don't know where in Ontario you are, but I live in Meaford, around here for a salad bowl I may be able to get $10 per inch if it is a large one 12-15", I do knitting bowls for less than that 6-7"...

Man, I looked at those pictures and had to wipe the drool from my computer, I totally agree with Reed Gray, You suck, good on you.

For me the one on the pedestal is the one that shows more flowing lines and really accentuates the form of the piece,

I read these threads and I am blown away by the technical side of this hobby I have. The contribution of some of the posters is amazing and in a way reminds me of John Daley, Tiger Woods, Ernie Ells,...

David, when I look at those pictures there appears to me to be a number of "strings" of burls around the circumference as it were. A while back I did have one of those and trying to make a bowl from...

Now that is a great haul!! If you have the support of a spouse with that wood in the yard that is an extra bonus.

I really like the look of the bowl as it is, it has a really nice organic look. If you are looking to do a little more touchup I would wind the bowl where it has the voids with electrical tape and I...

I really love what the dye does to the colour of the burl piece. Very nice form too in my humble opinion. Very well done!!

The drive surface material is the difference maker in my opinion. I have a long paved drive and I live on the shores of Georgian Bay. We get a number of snowfalls of over 6" at a time. On paved...

Jimmy also finishes his pieces with Turtle wax, that would help protect it from light I would think

One thing I do know about the shavings from Black Walnut is that the chicken farmer that takes my shavings doesn't mind the Black Walnut, in his words "they haven't complained about it yet" but...

At least you would not get slapped for patting that one

My air cleaning unit from Lee Valley is hooked up so that it runs on low speed when I turn on my shop lights, when needed I pull a cord and it comes on high speed. I use a Busy Bee dust collection...

Neil just wait till next July!!! I think it will be warm here by then and if the sun has shone enough the water will be not bad to get to. Sometimes it does feel a little like the old farmer said...

Well today is the second day that the roads are open and school busses are running. for the 3 days prior to that we were blocked in and for about 6 hours no electricity. So far this winter we have...

I sure do not know about the rest of the guys and I also do not know what OCD stands for other than it must be we are really neat freaks, let me just set the record a little straighter. That little...

For me the wall rack works just for storage because once I am working on the lathe I use a board that I have attached between the lathe ways and store the chisels and other lathe accessories that I...

I would guess that I am nearly his neighbor, I mean he only lives in the neighbouring state, but then you would have to get through Detroit, and that little thing about the border and with your...
