Jim I sent you a message I have both a 3520 and the 18 inch version of your lathe in my shop in Mn contact if your within a reasonable drive

Roger my chuck is a SN2 as well and I understand your point about a preference for which one you would like to machine at home. The spindle was simply easier. From my view the insert fits on a lot of...

I have a three year old Laguna version of this lathe. I had the same problem three years ago. The problem is not the insert it is the spindle. This lathe has a metric history and many things (one...

Roger as you know from other conversations I have a vacuum chuck on my 2 year old Laguna. I got my rotary adapter and hubs from Tom at JT. Your Grizzly is configured like my Laguna. The new Lagunas...

I think your method is fine. I simply wanted those that may not have seen the article to be aware of how they could use a chuck. I am not sure what a reversing taper is so i have something to learn...

I think the way he took care of centering the doughnut in the article was to glue it into the center of the bowl while it was still mounted after turning the inside of the bowl and then turning a...

I have posted before regarding my now two year old Laguna 18/47. Your problem with rpm control really bothered me because in a recent post I mentioned that the low end speed control and torque was...

The Laguna was just under 1 inch. I contacted customer support and complained because I had been told it was 1 inch. Within a few days I had a new Banjo that was reamed out to 1 inch.

I have a Laguana 18/47. I will have had it two years in Feb of this year. I have turned everything from 17 inch bowls to pens on it with no real problems. I have it set up for vacuum chucking and it...

I started posting here a year or so ago and found many wonderful friends and got some great help from several people on vacuum systems and choosing a bandsaw. Some may remember that one of my last...

It has been awhile since I have had a moment to get back on here. I want to thank you all for your kind words about my son-in-law. As for the bandsaw what a difference a high quality tool makes...

Some of you may remember that my 55 year old bandsaw gave up the ghost a few weeks back. I asked for suggestions from you all and got some very good ideas and advice

In the end I settled on a...

Looks like a nice pile of blanks, should keep you busy for quite some time. Congratulations. I am glad the storm left you standing to turn another day. I also noted with great interest the GO513X2...

Bob, welcome to retirement. I think the bowls are fantastic and like so many other excellent pieces I see on Sawmill the piercing reminds me of the many things I have not yet tried.

So much wood...

I want to thank you all for the help in making a decision on a new bandsaw. Scott and Bernie I decided to go with a GO513X2, Ebay (Grizzauction) had one at 895 plus 96 for shipping. I hope to have...

Mike first and most important I like the bowl, very nicely done. Second is a question. I know Boxelder can often have some beautiful red coloration but this is the first time I have seen...

Fantastic bowls. I think the craftsmanship, the art and the wood all came together about perfect

Geez now I am befuddled

thanks

It is a cherry burl

Somehow this seems really silly but I cannot type paragraphs in my posts. Whenever i try to make two paragraphs everything just runs together. For instance this should be a second paragraph. how the...

Thanks Allen, I think I will get the CA bottle out. If I don't eventually the bark is going to deteriorate badly

Thanks everyone for the answers. I think it is the Grizz if it is one of these two. Bernie I looked at the 513 and I have to admit I am giving it another look. The only reason I have so far thought...

Frank, I saw the pictures first and I thought beautiful bowls. Then I read the post and I saw hand carved. You are a patient and talented man. Excellent well done.

I like bowls, bowls, bowls and more bowls. Now my wife is wondering what to do with all of them. Your elm bowl is fantastic. I have quite a bit of bone dry elm logs that I got at an estate sale. I...
