"skilled" turner?

Just because he's got a youtube channel and calls himself "skilled" - doesn't make it so.

Bonjour! ;)

Coming from another turner...the longer you're going to let the logs sit before you get around to turning, the longer you need to leave them so that once they split, you can cut the splits out and...

I didn't see...

Thank you Bill for letting us know a commercially produced option is available

Since a moderator removed...

my local woodcraft store had several sets of Easy Chuck jaws on a clearance table last week. you might check your closest store.

I have read that the time of year a holly is harvested and subsequent handling has a lot to do with the finished look of the wood.

To get the “whitest” wood, it should be harvested in...

I made a number of these style glasses a few years back.

I used a single forstner bit all the way to the bottom, then came back wit carbide tool to remove all the excess material inside the glass
