I am running ie11 on windows 8. I looked at the link from the above post but it didn't offer any help.

I hit probably 100's of different web sites every day, and SMC is the only one where this...

Why does this site continually tell me that it "wants to run the following add-on:'Apple' from 'Apple Inc.' "?

I can't give them away in my area.

Thanks! I have been told that I have the most 'decorative' firewood ��

I decided to just 'play' in the shop recently and use up some scrap wood that was just laying around.

The first object is a combination of walnut and a chunk of flamed box elder.

I am not...

Yes I have legs, and yes they settle the same as the AB. I did that procedure when I originally set it up, perhaps I should do it again.

I have a call into Brent on another small issue, but I...

It is a Robust Liberty.

I checked for sawdust buildup, and the drive belt looks fine, but I will check again .. thanks!

I have just started to notice a slight vibration when my lathe runs between 2000 and 2100 rpms. Up to 2000 and past 2100 it is dead steady, but within that range I can hear and feel the vibration....

I am using the Gizmo from JT Turning Tools.

I have been turning pens and bowls for several years but recently decided to try my hand at hollow forms.

Wow, this is really addicting! I like the additional options I now have to consider when...

Some people smoke a bowl or two of pot, but not the other way around.

I'm just sayin' :-)

I use a bicycle glove (no fingertips) on my left hand when turning dry burls. Some of the chunks that come off a burl can really hurt if they nail your hand just right.

I was thinking possibly to cover the finish cup with plastic wrap and a rubber band to protect the finish for short intervals between coats.

Thanks for the replies folks!

I just didn't want to have the finish harden inside the gun on me between coats, and I sure didn't want to clean it out completely after each coat.

Sounds like as...

Hi,

I am just getting into spray finishing and recently picked up an Earlex 5500 unit. I plan to only use it with water-based finishes to keep cleanup and odors to a minimum.

My question is .....

Thanks for the feedback.

Too bad the striking coloration doesn't last ... just have to enjoy it while it does!

A friend gave me a small branch which had been removed from a box elder tree. You could see the red colored streaks in the ends of the branch, but I had no idea what it would be like when I opened it...

Great video!! I learned a bunch of new techniques that will make my pen turning life easier in the future.

John, I do use a bandsaw to pre-round the blank. I then will put on a faceplate and turn a tenon on the back side. The issue for me are the large bumps, knots, etc that you encounter while cutting...

Thanks for the replies. I am lucky to have a friend with a large sawmill in northern Wisconsin who saves all the useable burls for me as they are cut. Before I met him he was running the burl stuff...

I have started working on a bunch of burls which have been acquired over the past year or so. I love the way they end up, but am really looking for a better way to get past the initial rough-out...

Yes indeed!!

Very pretty ... to me it looks more like highly polished, colored glass than wood.

It's always a pleasure looking at your 'creations'.

What a pretty piece of work ... great job!

Thanks for the kind words folks. As a relatively new turner, getting praise from folks whose work I admire on this site every day is special!

I tend to agree with some of you that this may be...
