    A few places offer micro extension tips for CA bottles. I like the ones from Easy Inlay (https://www.easyinlay.com/product-page/ca-glue-tips), but you can find others around the web. These have a...

    Dave, you may be correct, but how can you (or anyone else) see any detail in that murky, poorly focused photo? OP didn't really give anyone a fighting chance.

    The theory is fine. You just have to be careful not to shift the knives so much that they bind, as in OP's case.

    Perhaps I didn't make clear that once the toolrest is set, it does not need to be moved again. With that long toolrest in OP first post, I could whip these out in less than an hour, no special tools...

    Apparently, it's a relic from the bad old days when tool rests were fixed to be parallel to the ways. Nowadays, we can swivel our toolrests 90°.

    I use double gluing to keep rings in alignment while clamping them. I apply glue (usually TB1) to one surface and place 3 or 4 drops of CA on the other. The moisture in the glue kicks the CA, so once...

    For a simple taper like that, you should not need either a template nor multiple measurments. Draw your desired diameters on each end of a blank & mount between centers. Set your tool rest (which...

    Scott recommends white glue now. The purpose of the glue is to lock the fibers in place so the softened veneer stays flat, even though over time it loses its flexibility.

    Crushed stone is so abrasive that it is used as, well, abrasives of a variety of sorts. Most resins respond well to negative rake tools; with the stone, you will have better luck with carbide.

    I would think that sunlight would work, since it contains a complete spectrum of UV frequencies. Exposure time will depend on depth of pour and opacity of tint, but 15 minutes seems a reasonable...

    If there are, there shouldn't be, for obvious safety reasons. The L6 socket has 3 conductors - two hots and one ground, but no neutral.
