    Looks like a good skill builder and not useless. Expect not more than 25% of turners could do that well with junk wood. Keep at it. Turning is supposed to be fun.

    I am not sure where you find 8" buffing wheels rated for 3400 rpm, but I find 1800 rpm with 8" wheels using Tripoli does a good job. I think the 3400 rpm would be more likely to burn wood since the...

    Turn it with natural edge and the pith side on bottom to retain the crotch like grain pattern. If you turn with rim on side shown for a normal bowl, you will turn off all the crotch pattern. I am...

    That is a dynamic leap from the 1015VS to the Jet 1221. The heavier lathe, larger diameter turn ability, reverse, and on and on and definitely the midi better than the mini. I have a Rikon 70-220...

    I can't see the base on that piece but the wings are clearly airborne and delicate. Someone did an excellent job on turning and the inlay. Shows what you can do to optimize a square block of high...

    I follow Prashum plan but only do about 1/4" depth, enough to register the smaller bit using the center of the larger bit. Sure makes a big difference using smaller bits to depth first just...
