only $25 and the same watts. PSI sells it for $90.

Used dryer sheet. I also use Rainex wipes.

You brought the Eastern Shore to life in a beautiful way. I'm in Cambridge, 60 miles away.

Thanks for explaining. Now I see why you do it the way you are. You are in a beautiful area.

Wow! That is beautiful. So cool. Too bad you couldn't make resin pieces you could cut into segments and glue up right in the ring. It is so neat with the lights!

Thanks for trying. I'm happy to watch you do it. lol

I see you are in MD? I'm on the eastern shore, Cambridge.

Thanks Bruce. It seems amazing to me that one can design that in their head. And then to think of the carving and epoxy. Wow! So glad you're sharing all this.

I'm curious how you designed it and keep the sections 'straight' as to what to carve and what to leave. Do you use a computer program? Seems like there might have been a lot of math? In any case...

Wow! That is gonna be awesome.

I bought several books when I started, but what REALLY helped were the YouTube videos. There are also, tons of free articles on the web. I also love AAW, you can get a digital or print mag monthly...

Beautiful! Love the shape.

That's a great looking HO HO. How do you make the hat?

That is such a great idea and your execution of it is fantastic. What are the ear pieces made from?

Thanks! That is very helpful.

So, should I just coat the ends, store them and then use the chainsaw when I'm ready to make something? I will be making smaller items, ring holders, 8" tall snowmen, Christmas ornaments and maybe a...

Hi,
I have about 40 pieces of tree limbs. They are 12 - 18" long and a foot or so in diameter. I made a saw buck and was going to cut 4 sides off to make them roughly rectangular. My thought was...

I love mine! I've had to contact Rikon support twice and they were wonderful both times. One was the wrench on arrival was bent and they sent new ones immediately. The second issue was recently...

I went through a similar experience. I was going to upgrade to a Jet, but didn't want to pay the high price. I watched for a used lathe for a year and saw nothing but old rusty junk or metal...

Awesome job on all your work! I particularly love the octagon bowl. How does one make an octagon on the lathe. You have access to gorgeous wood species too. Absolutely beautiful pieces.

That's a beautiful canister and the pyro makes it extra beautiful. You have a lot of skill to get those leaves lined up so perfectly.
