I bought some nice ones from Craft Supplies. Multiple colors.

Jet sells paint. Not cheap but is an exact match of course. I experienced a lightning strike. Went through the ground wire. Fried everything even those that were shut off. A switch does you no...

The above method works with both tenon and recess. When you make your recess or tenon be sure to use the tailstock. That way you have a reference point when you turn it around. I just put a piece...

I use the carter steady rest. The reason I bought it is you can move the wheels in location and orientation. I have four on mine. I have done hollow forms up to 20 inches tall and 13 inches wide. ...

Why even mess with the laser. I changed to a video system and for $50 or so it is the cats meow. Even converting to 110 and upgrading the bar to 1/2" I still was not satisfied with the laser, worked...

Cindy Drozda makes a great set of inserts for the live center.

Rubber Chucky also makes some great stuff

I have an Atlas 10F. Made somewhere around war II or so. I have made all the metal parts for a rose engine, countless tool handles and other accessories for my wood lathe. I have the milling...

I used the swann camera and a color computer monitor. I had to buy an adapter to change from analog to digital since the at is what the monitor required. Works great. I mounted on a Monster system...

I also changed from Holdfast to Frugal. Couldn't be happier. I use the holdfast vacume chucks with my Frugal system. I like them a lot better.

Buy one of Thompsons handles when you buy the tool. They are really good. When you are a more advanced turner you can turn your own handles. Join a turning club and ask for a mentor. One day in...

The Frugal systems are great. The one I have has a Gast pump. Since the one you are looking at one that has a tank the pump will not need to run continuously which is a real plus especially if you...

A B C
The principal is anchor, bevel, cut.
The first is the most important. I think John said press down on the tool rest with the tool. Essential. Your too should never ever bounce. Then kiss...

I tried them all and Carters sphere system is the best I found. Lot's of reasons. They have a good video of it in use.

I have been using the angle drill for a few years now. Works great. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/corded/0370-20

I use marine spar varnish. I have used mine for years everyday. I will probably have to put another coat on someday. Not yet. I have never had a customer complain. I would not use it in the...

Glad I am not the only one who does that. My wife calls it my happy wandering around the place. Kind of like 90% of my stuff is lost 90% of the time. Every day is kinda like Christmas. I seem to...

I added a 1 1/8 bar to my monster system. Really helps with deeper forms. You might also consider slick tape on both bars of your capture rig. Rockler and Woodcraft both sell it. I have to admit...

If you core from the largest to the smallest you will always have a tenon to work with. When you core the largest core be sure you have a recess on the face before you core the largest. After you...

Hard to pick just four. I find that everytime our club holds tool day I find one more I have to have. Allows me to do a lot of different things. Here is what I started with and turned with for...

I need a multi v step pulley not just a v step pulley. The pulley I have is metric and is larger then the 5/8 shaft of the motor.

I am trying to find a multi v pulley like is on a Nova 1624. I am changing motors and need one with a 5/8 shaft size. It does not have to be 8 step. I can stack single pulleys if I have to. I am...

No spindle lock makes this lathe a non starter. I guess they had to cut corners somewhere to make the price point

I use with safety glasses. Works well. I also charge with smart charger that Mike came up with. I wear out before the battery does. Expensive but then what doesn't when it comes to wood turning. ...

The McNaughton mini or midi set should work for you. Fun to make nested sets. They are very popular as well.

1. I put my initials on the bottom, very small
2. I took to funeral home and they filled. When I first took it they brought out a bag of sand and dumped it in the urn. It all fit. The guy that...
