Totally understand the comment about "all the other tools". My wife laughed when I read this post to her. She and I agree that the bowl is very nicely done. I'm getting into the segmented world as...

Thanks Richard. I've looked at the knife making sites and can find the rivet for the 7/8" but not the 1 1/4". I hadn't thought of the brake shoe rivet.

I’ve been asked by a guy I work with to turn a new handle for an antique screwdriver he has. The metal is all one piece with the handle in two pieces and then attached with the metal in the middle....

Be sure to visit Rudy's BBQ while you're here in town! The cream corn is in it's own food group! I get a lot of my wood at Alamo Hardwoods on Fredericksburg. Alan can point you in some good...

If you look at the page you can subscribe to, he is a 30 year old from northern Ontario. I sure hope that his mistakes haven't caught up with him. Scary dangerous!!

This is all I use for sharpening my tools. I love it. There was an article on another site, not sure if I can say the name here, but google worksharp homemade jigs. You can make a stand out of...

Absolutely beautiful. The clear acrylic is a very nice accent to the deep purple. A wonderful job indeed!

Thanks for all the advice. I don't have the space in my garage for a floor model. Mostly, this machine will be used to "true up" already cut lumber for projects I'm going to be doing. I don't...

This is a subject that has probably been hashed and rehashed, but, I am looking to buy a planer, 12"-13" in the $200-$400 price range. I value the posters on this site and would love to know what...

Greg, outstanding work! Love the way you burned the outlines too. Good luck at the fair!

I had a buddy lose a pear tree in his yard night before last. Has anyone turned pear and what's it like? thanks for any and all info.

Glad to see you're doing ok. You'll be back in the shop in no time!!

Absolutely beautiful! Love the vase!

Aaron, had my right hand done when I was 42 and haven't regretted it for one minute. I work with computers for a living and didn't miss one day of work. I had it done on a Friday and was back at...

I also use the Worksharp 3000. I found an article on the web that showed a stand and jigs that someone created, so I copied that. It really took the guess work out of sharpening and I get really...

Has anyone used or have knowledge of the 6" buffer that HF sells? For under $40 I thought this might be a nice inexpensive gamble, but wanted to find out if anyone uses it. Thanks.

Glad to answer these!

1. What is your name? Tim Hughes
2. Do you make pens (if no, please skip to question 6? Yes
3. If so, how long have you been turning pens? Just shy of 3 years.
4. Do you...

What a tremedous job you did on all 4! I hope that as I start turning bowls I will be able to produce such beautiful pieces.

take it to a trophy shop and they'll do it for a nominal fee.

I'm like David Keller. Pens for about 3 years and now getting into bigger and better things.

Wow, nice pen! You did an excellent job and I like the grain in the dogwood.

The ad for them states 500#. That's pretty good.

I've used the wire leader from fishing tackle quite a bit. You have eyes already attached to the ends and all you have to do is get a dowel, put some small hook holders on them and then attach the...

I would echo what Robert said and get a starter kit with everything you need to make about 10 pens and start with wood. See if this is what you want to get into before spending a great deal of...

My bad, I knew it was Richard but was doing my best to remember Ed's real name instead of yoyospin. Anyway, thanks for the contact information. I want to get one and play with it. Looks like it...
