David,

The item from Best Wood Tools will work to center a chuck or face plate mounted turning on a donut chuck in addition to a vacuum chuck.

I think this might fit the job.



This is an essential accessory for use in Vacuum Chucking applications. It allows you to center a partially turned bowl on a vacuum chuck without removing the...

[QUOTE=Belinda Williamson;1621067]Have I mentioned lately how pleasant it is to have coffee shoot out of my nose? :D

This brought tears to my eyes, I laughed so hard. Thank God I wasn't drinking...

In the last week, I have found at least three glaring errors in articles in the New York Times. This is the newspaper that advertises that they have the best reporters in the world, but I guess...

Congratulations, Ken. Don't be too surprised to find out that you still run out of time to do the things you want to do. I call it the retirement time black hole. Good luck with the implant.

Hey Ron,

Try Buchheit's. They have some old heads there who might know what you need.

Absolutely stunning!!!! Love the seat work as well.:D:D:D

Why not, indeed? Really cool!

Outstanding! Love it. Not too artsy as all work was done on the lathe.:D

Steve,

Simply ELEGANT! I am not usually a big fan of colored wood, but this is definitely an exception. I love it.:D

'Bout time you made it to this forum, Jeff, welcome. :D That is a great bowl and is a good example of the quality of work you do all the time.

Glad to see you here.

Not to be a contrarian, but I find the celtic knot on the right more pleasing. The openness of the knot is more in keeping with the traditional style of the celtic knot and I think it is easier to...

but you would never catch me doing one. I just don't have the skill, and even if I did, I don't have the patience. I really admire those who do segmented turning and this one had me going crazy...

Very happy to hear you finally got your own lathe. Once that lousy poison ivy:eek: clears up, I hope to see you really show something.

Will,

Welcome to the money pit! As to pen kits, it doesn't pay to buy inferior quality. Nothing will make people more upset than having the finish on the exposed metal parts of pens wear off...

:mad: Now I'm gonna have ta cut down that pine tree in my yard and wait 5 years to turn it!!!:D Thanks a lot for the inspiration.

Hi Linda,

I was in the same boat as you when I got into woodturning. Bought a lathe and a set of tools. My husband was in a tool buying mode at the time and bought the Tormek and sharpening...

I have always loved wood and could never understand why people painted beautifully grained wood. I always had a strong desire to do something creative with wood but never had the opportunity till I...

Join your local woodturning club, the books and DVD's are free and so is much of the advice and mentoring.:D

I'm not trying to be smart, but you might try contacting Ernie Conover. While he no longer makes these lathes, he might be able to steer you in the right direction.

Conover Workshops website has...

I, too, have the Rikon and bed extension. Only need the extension for making chair legs and spindles. I also have a Jet 1642 EVS. I love the Jet. Having said that, I recently had the opportunity...

Neal,

I usually don't have much to say about most of the items posted on this forum, and I'll just keep that string going by saying .... WHAT NANCY SAID! :D

After much searching we found this site www.vinceswoodnwonders.com

He sells 16oz. thin CA for around $26.00/bottle. A lot less expensive than any other place we were able to find.

Hollow form is gorgeous and so is the finial. Having said that, I feel that the finial is not delicate enough for the size of the hollow form.

When you have some time, give it a narrower finial....

I can't say this strongly enough .... CHECK OUT THE THOMPSON TOOLS! Because they come unhandled, you get a much better tool than the other "name brands" at about the same price and if you can turn...
