Something must be wrong with your chainsaw. My chainsaw runs great in the rain. But my LOL Hauler goes bad in the rain just like yours.
Enjoy

Alan,

Take one electric and one of the 18" units to your favorite Stihl dealer. Trade them and probably $200 on a larger saw. I have the 260 with 18" but last year added a 390 with a 25" bar. ...

yes, Medium to fast speed for size of part. Small scrapers work best. Slow going but it works. I turn tip for burner 'ala' Matthew Hill.

The Renwick is my favorite of all the Smithsonian museums. Even if the exhibit of the time is not turning related there are always turning on display there. This museum is small compared...

Jim, I'll 2nd Cecil's comment that like many fruitwoods it is more prone to cracking. Cut, slab and seal ASAP. Then Rough out very soon also.

Cut some spindle stocks as well as bowl/platter...

If starting with a dry planed board I double face tape to a face plate. With tailstock providing back up support I turn the bottom. Then remove the tailstock to create recess. Now flip...

Time is your friend. I wait a year. When you have been turning a few years you will have hundreds of rough outs in various shapes and sizes. You only need patience in the first couple...

Mr Moderator,

Mr. Donley should have his privileges suspended for talking that way. He hates turning? May all his blanks have bugs, may a drill chuck get froze in his morse taper and may all...

Steely Dan make my list too, but I'll sneak in a couple other new ones

I know there is no use for a 24" diameter bowl but here is your opportunity to turn one. Big platters are more useful than giant bowls. Harvest a few giant blanks and get them roughed.
...

Makes me itch just looking at the picture. Monkey pod is the only wood
I ever reacted too. Red arms, burning eyes, the whole works. Nasty.

Pretty but I'll have to pass.

I'm with Steve - Ace brand HD Cloth carpet tape. I've done a 14" plate with the stuff so I can't imagine having trouble with a little pendant. I apply it to my face plate after cleaning the face...

Regardless, its not a good idea to move firewood too far. There are all kinds of distructive organism that get moved with firewood. We turners should try our best to debark wood before we move it...

Wasn't 'Cash for Clunkers' the same waste? We destroyed perfectly good old cars in return for money that didn't exist.

All you need is time. Bernie's method is best. But I am a bit less ambitious so I don't weigh then rough outs. I date the roughed blanks. When they are more than a year old they are...

Kevin

What spindle size do you need? I think I have a 6" faceplate for my mini that I would part with. 1"-8

For cheap face plates google, Don Pencil or Bob Noble

Mike,

Epoxy a block of wood to the leg. Mount into the wood. Much easier to drill and screw into wood than cast iron. More weight, use bigger piece of wood so there is more adhesive holding...

I wrote the follow a few years back. If you wish to be describe this way I suggest you sell all the big tools in your shop except your band saw and go buy that Powermatic mentioned above.

Rich,

I spent sometime with Carole at the Ohio Symposium back in October. She had some very nice small Hollowforms in the Instant Gallery if I remember right.
