This portion of the statement gave me a chuckle. I think after 28 years of use, you got your money's worth.
In the YT comments, she addresses the lathe height about which she apparently is criticized frequently. This is how she learned and is used to doing for 20 years. Emma considers platforms to be...
Well, not having to eat Taco Bell and being encouraged corporately to refrain from same is a win/win as far as I am concerned.
Regarding the original topic, a proper survey is statistically...
Home Depot sells small lathes on their website and offers free delivery. Simply have it shipped directly to your nephew's address or pick up at his local HD (assuming that is a reasonable distance...
Search Jerry Bennett's site "segeasy." has plans for what he calls sawstop. It is very precise because you use a vernier caliper to set the segment length. Functionally the same as Lohman's but a...
I would suggest going the multi-function laser printer route. Having that scanner and copier is very useful at times. Whether one goes B/W or color laser is a personal choice but I prefer color. ...
Beyond keeping it out of direct sunlight to slow the progression, there is not much to be done here. The heartwood will get lighter in color and the sapwood will darken a bit with age. However,...
My first impression was the bowl bottom needed to be spherical to match the lid.
I noticed the legs were not uniform thickness but that did not bother me from an artistic perspective. If they...
Clean it and then apply a lubricant containing graphite or teflon. An aerosol lube of which the carrier evaporates to leave a dry film would be my choice.
Most epoxy instructions will indicate the maximum amount of colorant or additive that should be added to that particular mix. The amount of dye or mica powders that are typically used are trivial...
I was going to post the same thing as Don. I think 65F is being generous. It is typically very cold in the Waco Civic Center rooms during SWAT. The folks wearing shorts and t-shirts aren't happy...
In a small town, your two best options are either paint tint or rit dye powder.
This one is easy. Indoor cooking smell is bacon. Outdoor cooking smell is beef brisket on the smoker with mesquite fuel.
UPS service is usually good at my location but yesterday I received an email notice that a package was undeliverable because the business was not open to receive the delivery. OK..... (that's...
The WorkSharp was the reason I ever reached SHARP consistently with my bench chisels and plane blades. I tried about every other manual method with less than adequate results. You got a great...
This made me laugh out loud. I hate to be bearer of bad news but your level is an antique.
Just now looked closer at the original photo...to me that looks like soft maple of some sort (silver maple?). My experience with soft maple is severe darkening of colors when oiled (oil based...
Is it possible to simply buy the appropriate chuck adapter from Sorby? Their website shows a 1" UNC adapter for the Patriot chuck.
Wipe it down with mineral spirits and see what happens to the color and figuring (the mineral spirits will evaporate quickly). If you like the result, use wipe-on polyurethane (oil-based). If not,...
All this talk of slide rules reminded me of my one and only encounter with one. In high school, slide rule use had been taught until a new math teacher arrived. He showed us a slide rule and said,...
Hot melt glue can be released cleanly with denatured alcohol. Pour (or brush) a few drops on the glue joint, wait a minute and the bond releases. Repeat if not successful the first time. The glue...
Our club just surveyed the members using a couple methods. Paper copies at a recent meeting as well as an online survey using Mail Chimp. Mail Chimp is the tool used to send out the monthly...
A wood lathe plus needed accessories (scroll chuck or two, a couple bowl gouges, a spindle gouge, a couple scrapers, parting tool, and a sharpening setup) will use up your $5000 plus fit well within...
Nice form. I would place the decoration feature in the lid and make the body interior have a rounded bottom. This makes it easier to remove the contents of the box while having a decoration always...
