Hi...

I am a woodturner that has a roughly 6x11 area in my garage that has my lathe, bandsaw, grinder, and workbench (tight fit). We are moving next year to be closer to the grandkids, and are...

Kim, I'm getting ready to try my first peppermill using the Crushgrind mechanism. Where did you get your crushgrind mechanism, or are the mechanisms all the same dimensions regardless of where you...

Thank you... It gives me a plan of action to proceed.. I appreciate it.

Thank you, Jack. I haven't tried that. I will work on that this weekend.

Does anyone know if parts have gotten easier to find for the delta 46-460? In the last couple of days, I have had some problem with the speed control. it would start up slow, then suddenly speed up...

Thanks for the replies... I think I will be steering my nephew toward the Jet, if that works with his parents... I appreciate the assistance.

Dave

Good afternoon. My nephew wants to learn woodturning and get lessons. His parents have asked me what lathe I would recommend. I have a delta 46-460 and love it, other than the big problem we had last...

Good morning....

I had posted a thread a few weeks ago about problems I was having with my pendants 'sliding' around when turning off-axis. I sincerely appreciate all of the comments and...

Thanks for the responses... Turning pendants is going to be fun. Saturday, my wife and I went over to a bead show, and she learned how to make necklaces and use beading. They turned out really nice....

Thanks for all of the advice. With respect to making sure I turn with sharp tools, I learned early on about the 'impact' of turning with sharp tools. When I was trying to add the grooves while...

Thank you both for your responses.

Thom, I was at Home Depot when you posted your response, so the timing was quite advantageous. I picked up some carpet tape that had small mesh in it. I will try...

Good evening...

I purchased the Joyner pendant jig a while ago and am now starting to try to make pendants.... I watched Capt. Eddie's videos and yoyospin's as well. I am able to turn simple...

Hi Don...

Being an amateur woodturner, I realize that I must value my time spent on the bowls, and have come up with an approximate time investment . With respect to the wood that I turn, the...

Hi Reed....

Thanks for responding. I don't know if you remember me, but I was the woodturner from South Carolina who met you at the Oregon Country Fair...I hope you had a successful show. We had a...

Thank you everyone for your responses. I felt that my prices were reasonable as well. But I was also looking to raise the prices a small amount to account for increases in the cost of the bowl blanks...

I would like some advice from anyone who does local craft shows (not high end - but juried). I have been showing my woodturnings at some local craft shows and farmers markets. How do you come up with...

I appreciate everyone's suggestions. It is obvious that we need to get some proper training before we get any power tools. I have a set of carving tools that my son gave me last year. I know how...

Hi...

My wife, who is very artistic, would like to do some embellishments on my woodturnings. We have been looking for a small power carver (chisel) that she could do detail carvings. I know...

Thanks to everyone for responding. Whether it is Brazillian Cherry or Cumaru, it turns like it is made of concrete, but it really is extraordinarily beautiful when finished... I'll do some additional...

Thanks for responding... I want to apologize upfront.. I uploaded and didn't check the photo before submitting the thread. There is no orange tint in the wood. The coloring was off in the photo (I am...

Hi....

I picked up an small bowl blank recently of an unknown variety of South American wood. It was very dense and exceptionally heavy for its size. It turned like concrete. It has to contain a...

Hi... I apologize for the delay in responding. I've been gone all week on business (my real job) and didn't check this thread.

Jamie, my forward/reverse switch went bad, and my motor's bushings...

My Delta 46-460 stopped working about a month ago. I brought the lathe to an authorized Delta service center. The technician identified the parts that had failed, and attempted to obtain the parts...

I completely agree... I will have to do something soon, as I can't go much longer without a lathe (with shows coming up in the spring). If I get anywhere with Delta, I'll post it.

Thanks again to...

Thanks a lot for the recommendations. My friend called Delta's customer service and the tech person was very sympathetic, but was not aware that no parts were shipping. he was going to contact the...
