To answer the question in the original post, I have made Crush/Grind peppermills without using a tenon and with using the tenon - I like making a small tenon the best. It not only gives a slightly...

I have both the 16tpi and the 10tpi lead screws for my Chefs Specialties threading jig. I think I have done only on 10tpi box and literally 100s of 16tpi threaded boxes.

It would be helpful to know the size and thread count of the tap. :)

Mailchimp has a survey option available. I have not used it so I don't know what access you have to the results.

I was able to make a custom contact form on our club's website to formulate a...

In my experience the optimal cut is through or (near) the pith of the two largest branches. It may require a longer bar than you have on that saw. What you make will be decorative as opposed to...

I have this same jig and I think it predates the Kodiak jig. The difference is that it has a captured allen wrench along one side of the jig that is supposed to be used to determine the amount of...

FWIW, My Oneway Stronghold Chuck Jaws are not numbered, and the one with the pin that limits travel can be installed in one of two locations, one limits travel more than the other.

Great collection of spheres.

I have an Easy chuck and my experience has not been that great. The Quick-Change jaw feature works great, but the chuck has a different problem that was not resolved after sending it back to Easy two...

The PSI ones have a set screw that is not tightened against the center point which is stepped. If the set screw loosens to where it backs out past the step, the center point is easily lost in the...

FWIW, I use the white paper towels that come in a box from the paint department at the big box store to apply finishes. I have seen where the blue towels have made things turn blue (when using CA for...

FYI, when I got my new lathe and needed a longer post, I got one through Craft Supply. For some reason the portion that fit into the head, was too long and needed to be reworked a bit. I don't KNOW...

I have an 18-inch RIkon with roller bearing guides that I use almost exclusively for woodturning prep. I have had to put a new set of lower bearings in it because they locked up. I suspect on a long...

Just to add to this, Bob Leonard, the Frugal Vacuum Chuck guy got me to using a 3mm yoga mat from Walmart. It's about the same thickness as craft foam but a lot tougher. It comes in a couple...

To look at this from another perspective, refinishing these pieces may reduce any value that they have as antiques. If someone asked me to do this, that would be my response.

Berea Hardwoods has a flattop and a roundtop European pencil that retracts the lead into the pencil with a twist. My experience with these is you have one shot at assembly. In other words, take your...

I read recently on another forum where someone ordered a Barracuda chuck body to use with the jaws received with a chuck that was a few years old. Simply put, the new chuck body and the older jaws...

Looks quite a lot like Buckthorn to me. Dense wood, twisted growth, close grain and a sweet smell while turning are all a fit for buckthorn.

I have two bench top lathes (a 12x20 Grizzly and a 10x18 Delta), both of which I have operated without having bolted down, making the exact types of things that you listed in your post.

I am now...

This had to have taken a lot of work. Going through your profile to find your website, I like the way you list the lathes in various ways, especially the price per pound :).

Congrats on the AB.

My experience with walnut us that it can vary a lot in hardness - I've turned some that was from a house that was built over 100 years ago and it was fairly soft, and that is what I have come to...

I actually find the Termite useful. The one thing I read once that made a real difference for me is to turn the speed down - I run it at under 800 RPM or so and it does OK. Just because you pull it...

As long as we are muddying the water:-) , here is one I made recently to fit more than one lathe. It uses a lamp rod to go all the way through the headstock to a morse taper adapter that is small...
