That's gorgeous!!
I had a small motor lose spark once. Ended up being the low oil safety switch. Somehow it went bad, and interrupted the start circuit. Checked oil, unplugged switch, and it started right up. I’ve...
I just hammer flat the folds and turn it into a small bar. Fits in the scrap metal bin easier that way.
Good call. Pending any trapped air spots, a weep hole in the bottom should alleviate this, I think. I'll try that.
The mugs are both, staved, and segmented. Popping from both. The epoxy I used was the cheap 5 minute kind from the local box store. I turned all of them to 1/8" wall thickness, and applied a quarter...
Howdy folks,
I recently turned a batch of stainless insert mugs, and had a funny thing happen. After epoxy set, and I filled the mug with coffee, I heard a popping sound. I assume the epoxy is...
Is it possible the live center is not perfectly aligned with the headstock? I use a wooden cone on mine, and if its not centered, it vibrates like crazy. Have you tried turning the outside without...
Silly question, but, is there a set screw on it to bind it to the shaft?
Amazon used to be pretty good to me. So much so, I bought in to the Prime deal. Free shipping to Alaska? Heck yea! Sign me up. It only took about two years before they changed something, and the...
As old as the universe is, there is a good chance there was/is intelligent life out there somewhere. Judging from the scope of that age, and the infinite nature of it all, who's to even say what...
Hello fellow turners!
While browsing the internet, I came upon these cool travel mug inserts. How neat! Figured I’d buy a few and give it a shot.
The left one is maple and wenge, while the other...
That’s correct. It takes up the slop and lets the miter slide more precisely. The only reason I use the table saw is because my chopsaw is just way too loud. Even with muffs on. If I had a better...
I appreciate the post. It makes good reading. Following that, I work for a company that is heavily dependent on a good safety culture. We have meetings every day, and full blown sit-downs every...
Neat idea with the magnets. That wood sure turns nice, huh.
Losing a pet is always so hard. Especially dogs. My dad had to lay to rest his 9 year old black lab, Sadee just recently. She was in pretty bad shape. Kidneys shut down, and she quit eating. Still...
Mark, the flooring was a little problematic for me at first. I've surmised that the hard finish on the boards was dulling my planer blades, so I had to run the flooring through the tablesaw to remove...
Neat!
I have a couple dust critters that are unceremoniously living in cardboard. Looks like I need to get to work!
Greetings from the rabbit hole!
I've managed to get a couple little segmented bowls done. The wood is reclaimed 3/4" tongue and groove maple flooring, and some walnut bits. For the first one....
I picked up the Nova Comet II last October, and was pretty pleased for the first month or so. Jumped straight to radial segmented turning. After about two months, it left me craving more power. For...
Is the top and bottom of your stock parallel? I ran into this problem once when my planer was out of whack. Or perhaps there I some side movement in your sled/track?
