What is the price for a pen kit? Is the shipping address the same? Any free kits available?
Is the address the same? How much are the kits? Has the shipping cost changed? Any free kits available?
Looking for any plans for a G.E.B. logo. Anybody seen one of these?
I hope I can offer others help too. I am very happy to have found this forum.
No Marty, you are right. This job does call for pipe clamps. I just don't have any. I usually do not work in such a wide surface in solid wood. One time I did make two kitchen countertops out of...
What a generous offer. Thank you!
I hand carved a pipe for a very good friend from a briar blank. The bowl was a man's head. The tobacco went into the top of his head. That was years ago. He started using it as soon as he got it....
I was thinking about waxing the cauls to keep them from sticking. Don't think they would look good attached to the tabletop!
This looks like a good candidate. Easy to put together, easy to set up, and looks like it would provide plenty of clamping pressure. The cauls that are built in also keeps the final scraping and...
Thanks! I am not used to anyone offering help like that. I will complete my profile.
Von, I would agree. The birch plywood would give you better stability than solid wood, and the face frames would give the end product an all solid wood look.
I am making a kitchen table made up of two glued up sections running across the tabletop, with a breadboard separating the sections and one at each end. I do not have clamps long enough to reach...
Myself, I would not spend the money on maple and cover it with paint. Poplar has been the go to wood for painted items for a long time now. And, poplar is a hardwood. My father has had good...
Thanks for the quick reply. I have been turning off and on for decades. Spindles, bowls, weed pots, a chess set in high school (this was a paid job and I used the money to pay for the Prom. Ah,...
I get this lathe's bench made, and mount it. I glued up a cherry and maple blank for a rolling pin, about 4" X4" X 24". I tried to turn it, but the tool rest would not stay tight and the tail...
I got to spend the day with my Love. That was the only thing I got, and the only thing I wanted.
Seems that you are more concerned with relationship damage than they are. You've talked to them 4 times and are still wearing earplugs? I have much less concern about my neighbors' feelings and...
My father gave me his 36" Craftsman lathe today. He got it for Christmas from my mother in the mid 70's. It's the one I learned to turn on. He is in his 80's now and is learning new techniques all...
Are these affecting the structural integrity of the wood? If not, my preference would be to leave them as is. I like the look of wood in it's natural form, with flaws like these adding to the...
I have before, but then I started looking for blades that were clearanced out, or on deep sales, and decided that it just wasn't worth the time. But it did resharpen them.
That is a great idea. Where do you get those?
I couldn't agree more Mike. That is a beautiful piece. What type of wood is that? I use almost exclusively basswood. WHen I get a few minutes spare time, I am going to try to take some pictures...
Just thought I would share my whittling knives that I use. I whittle little folks, ball in cages, chains, etc. I decided that I wanted to whittle with the precious little time I had, instead of...
