    Moving to Mt Vernon from Stanwood. Had to put my lathe in storage last fall after we sold our house. The new house won't be done until December so I have been dying waiting and planning my new shop.

    This lathe is the gateway drug to this addiction called woodturning. I bought it 3 years ago for almost nothing (under $200). Spent a year and a half with it and finally upgrading to a Griz G0766. ...

    Another take on a Vacuum Chuck Adapter

    I had been wanting to put together a vacuum chuck for a while but am too cheap to shell out the money for a commercial system. My idea was to keep it under $100 and use stuff I had in the shop.

    Dennis, thank you.
    I struggled with the CA decision as well. I had tried it on a test piece and got a really good finish so I dove in. Fifteen minutes later I was cursing the decision as I had two...

    Suspended Hollow Form

    I just just completed this hollow form tonight. I was intrigued by some of the suspended hollow forms I have seen and I had a maple burl that was just about right for one. I started turning and...
