Very nice work Mark! John is an exceptional turner! So happy that he is teaching at JCC and sharing his techniques with others! Highly recommend everyone check out his classes!

When I was doing a lot of turning, I would dump the sugar maple and black cherry shavings into large piles at the far edge of our backyard and let them sit. When one pile got really large, I would...

Just found out that Bill Grumbine passed away. He was a passionate man about many things and lucky for us, he shared his passion of turning with us through his DVDs and demos. Words fail me. He will...

Mark, do you have any experienced turners near you? I ask because, in my opinion, the inside of the bowl looks to be more of a technique/tool presentation issue than that of poor wood. I agree that...

Good looking bowl Dave! You put a lot of effort into it and it shows!

I agree that it would be great to have folks posting their work and asking questions but I have also found that these things...

I always considered Keith my mentor as well as my friend. When I was first starting turning he emailed me and offered encouragement because he could see that I had become frustrated with my turning...

Very nice design Robert! Have fun with it!

Moved here from wrong forum. Hope someone can help Steve with his questions.

Moved here from different forum and wanted to bump this to top to bring it to everyone's attention.

Mark, given that you have limited experience as a turner, I highly suggest that you check with your local turning club and get some hands-on time with both styles of lathe. The sliding headstock is...

Stan, I use Jerry Marcantel's drive center on everything I rough out but basically all you are doing is using a jam chuck when spindle turning. If you have everything tight when roughing and it still...

I have always used a tenon and a steady rest once the form has been roughed out. What form are you planning on turning? Might make a difference as to how it is held.

Here's an old thread that has some additional options: Sandpaper Storage

I have Shotcut and used it to edit videos of my granddaughter. Zero experience with video up to that point and it did take reading/experimenting with the software for a bit but overall, it was easy...

Jack, go to 'Settings' (top of page). On left hand side of page, click on 'General Settings' in the My Account section. Scroll down and in the section labeled 'Private Messaging' click on Save a copy...

John, outstanding work!! Always amazed at your finished projects, whether hollow forms, furniture, or chairs, your eye for detail is to be commended! Thanks for sharing!!

John, I know how much you enjoyed this project! Especially the challenge of learning new woodworking techniques and the fun of acquiring new tools! Your focus to take things one stage at a time has...

Wow! Congrats on all that beautiful Mesquite! Great stuff to turn! Looking forward to seeing some of the bowls you get from it. Have fun!

Looks like the whole process makes quite the mess but the end results are stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that's some history I was unaware of! Thanks for sharing this touching story!

Very sorry to hear this! Tom made my custom rotary adapter for my Jet 1642 back when I wanted to build my vacuum chuck system. He also walked me through the components needed for the system. We...

They are doing the same thing here with Meijers and Walmart. Wouldn't be surprised if Menards starts doing the same thing.

I have deleted a few posts that were political in nature. Everyone here knows the rules. Enough said.

John, it is very likely that the older software is causing your issue. I clicked on the link you provided and it immediately opened, so the link is good. Email me (address is in my profile) and I can...
