Hi Guys,

I'm currently in the process of having a new home built and with the ok to buy a "big" lathe next year I went ahead and had the builder put a 220 in the garage as its cheaper to do...

I was in the auction up till 850 since there was almost 20% in fees and taxes added on and I only had 1000 to spend. Also they were 3520a models.

One went for 1010 and the other for 1020. Sure...

Also to note, turn this when its still green. Once this stuff dries its like a rock. Still turnable but be prepared to constantly be at the grinder sharpening your tools. However, it looks great...

They keep them cheap because they know making them you're going to get sooooo frustrated you'll be throwing them around and will be going through several sets.

I dunno, it's been about a 2:1 ratio on David Marks projects for me. For about every three he makes I can see 1 of them being something I would like in my house and 2 that would be nice to make but...

I've got a craftsman and I love it. However I'm not a die-hard scroller so its not getting any abuse. But for its price range <150 bucks its great. Now if your wife is looking to become a serious...

I used their smaller sized one at a freedom pen turn-o-thon at a woodcraft and I really liked it. So, I would recommend getting one. However, unless you just want the "Sorby" you can get the set...

So this weekend Rocker had a pretty good sale on their European pen kits. So I bought some since the price was right. Now, be advised I am about as novice as you can be while still having used a...

If thats just "nothing special" and to "temporarily hold toys until we move" I can't imagine what one of your good projects would look like! I think it looks amazing!

Easiest way to see if its a scam is to open a new browser window and go directly to ebay (DO NOT click on the link in the email) and log into your accound. Go to your myebay section and see if there...

Looks just like a wooden version of the wolverine jig to me. I think it will work just as good. The only drawback I can see it the wood might not last as long as the metal that the wolverine is...

Hi Mark,

You just missed the latest Woodturners of North Texas meeting last Thursday. The next one will be on February 22 at 6:30 PM at the R.D. Evans Rec. Center in Fort Worth. If you know...

Thanks guys for all the advice. I guess I'll have to keep watching the two sites that do almost all of the texas government and school district auctions (however these are almost always furniture,...

Lee,

How they get them so big is usually through a method called "sudden sawlog" by some of the lumber companies. They space the trees out pretty good and then fertilize them, by hand,...

I was wondering how many of you have had success buying tools at auctions? If so how did you go about finding the auctions. There is a gentleman in my local woodturning group who has bought almost...

Bill,

I'm confused a bit about your knocking out the Powermatic. You list it as too expensive at $3,800 usd. However if you convert usd to canadian dollars it comes out to 4,457 canadian...

Really you can never find a one-stop shop for reviews like this. They both have good and bad points. For the magazines liske somebody said they are usually testing brand new items and for usually no...

Yea I've been looking for one of them as well. They used to send them to me every week and now I havn't gotten one in at least two months. And of course now is the time I want to purchase something...

I've got a kia rio. The gas mileage is not that great ~27. I bought it mainly because I used to have a Geo Metro that consistantly got 40 mpg. Mechanically though the car seems to be excellent. ...

I think everybody on the planet has that exact same set of steak knives you've got there in the lower right of the picture Wes.

Keith,

I think George was confused because they were 13 prizes listed but if you add up all the winners you get 10

Week 1: 3
Week 2: 3
Week 3: 3
Week 4: 1
Total: 10

Last time I ordered from them I got my item within a week. It has been holiday time though so the slowness migh be caused by a rush of holiday and post holiday orders. Plus if sales were high...

I think thats a DIY thing because they do it on their woodturning show as well.

A number of people I've met and/or talked to like the 14" bandsaw they make but were frustrated that HF discontinued the riser block kit for it. Several people have gone and taken grizzly and jet...

Like what mitchell said, what you are paying for in the subscription to TIVO is the programming guide. So when you tell the TIVO to record the simpsons, it can look and know when to record. However...
