Walmart has 48 pre-sharpened #2 pencils for less than $2.00. This pencil maker is just one of those things that just makes you go hmmm.
I don't have a Powermatic but my Grizzly started doing the same thing. I found that the hand wheel on the spindle was loose. Tightened up the set screw and it went away. I hope your solution is as...
I had a friend help me assemble my G0766. We had the crate in the back of my pickup and unpacked it piece by piece. Like Tom said, the legs will free stand. We just measured the distance and set...
I think the next year is going to be a rollercoaster in the economy. I predict a lot of foreclosures, evictions and bankruptcies from people who have been financially ruined by last years closures....
At least you have a very sturdy saw horse.
I hope you will be as happy with your new G0766 as I am with mine. I did a lot of research before I bought mine and I think it's the best lathe for the money on the market.
I'd like to find an Amish farm. Small, well built house with a GIANT barn.
We are still feeling the effects of the 2008 housing crash. Prior to 2008, everybody and his brother were getting loans and building spec houses. The bigger the house, the more profit. Loans were...

There's a Laguna Revo 18-36 for sale. Asking $2,000. The owner had a stoke and the wife is selling it, according...
For a twice turned bowl, end grain tear out is really not much to worry about when it comes to the initial turning. Just try to get the sides and bottom a consistent 10 percent of the diameter. The...
I also have a basement workshop. I put 1/2" sheetrock on the walls with screws. No finishing. Over the years, I can't count the number of times I needed to run another electric circuit or make a...
I agree that 600 rpm is too fast for sanding. I have an old Rockwell/Delta 46-111 wood lathe. It's slowest speed is 990 rpm. It has 4 pulleys and to change the speed, you change the fan belt on...
If you've got a friend with a pickup truck, just go to the freight terminal and they will load the box into the truck bed with a forklift. Then you can unload the lathe a piece at a time out of the...
Like Perry said, if you could attach a pulley on the outboard spindle side, you could get a motor and turn it into a buffing / disc sanding rig. It would be one speed but you could set the speed...
I've only had my G0766 for about 18 months. It has been a great lathe and was the most bang for the buck. I would buy it again. I did replace the pot a few months ago but that was only about $2.50...
I had mine about 18 months and it's been a good one. I'm still happy with my purchase. With 22" of swing and 3 hp, I don't have to worry about running out of capacity with anything I'll attempt.
The only thing I use the V arm for is setting the Wolverine jig for gouges. I got one of Robo Hippy's adjustable tool rests before he retired them. I took a black sharpie and marked each tool I...
It's important that the Wolverine bases be centered on the grinding wheel. I don't see any advantage to having multiple bases per wheel. If the bases were off centered, all of your grinds would be...
There had to be an ignition source. Wood doesn't spontaneously combust under those conditions.
I've got a General moisture meter. I take several readings from different spots on the wood and it gives me a pretty good idea how dry it is. It was cheap enough and works for my purposes.
So, you bought a shop and a house just happened to come with it? Congratulations.
A lot of my bigger tools are mobile. Drum sander, router table, table saw, planer, dust collector. It's nice to keep a large open space so I can pull out a larger tool and have all that space to...
I use the 3 wheel Beale buffing wheels for the outside of bowls. I use 3" buffing balls on an extended mandrel for the inside of the bowls. The small buffing balls are much less prone to catch and...
I have a homemade "Big Gulp" type of setup on a 1200 cfm dust collector that works pretty well for sanding. If I pay attention, I can actually direct most the sanding dust into the dust collector. ...
