This and a couple of larger versions using the same machined brass laser pointer have served me well. The cameras and monitors are so inexpensive now might have to try that route.

David, this is a nice set. I asked about the slot configuration on a fiber website and in out of approximately 50 replies, only about 5 used the slot. Doesn't matter, many do use the slot and for...
Nice rolling pin for sure. One thing that was pointed out to me by a pastry chef is the amount of pressure you can apply with a tapered pin is much greater than a typical straight 12" one with...
Dean, here is still another hood. It simply sticks in between the ways and hangs on the wall when not in use. I went 6" to a gate and wye and can use just the top inlet, just the hood, or both. I...
I like that Leo. Going to get some Grolsh next time in town and start to empty them. :)
John, back pointing is a term used by filers when referring to the process of grinding or filing the back of the tooth point as a specific operation. (I resharpen the back of the tooth only on 3tpi...
A year?? I usually change out after 4 hours max of green wood processing (Highland Hardware 3tpi, .032 included) Of course a grain of sand could make that 4 minutes.
Timberwolf also has a 3 tpi, .032 blade that only comes in 3/8". My experience is that it outperforms the Highland Hardware. Maybe not "hands down" but I "back point" my blades usually 3 times...
What Dale said.
I'm about 1-1/2 hrs. north of Coeur d Alene and the whole area is pretty much conifer forest. I get urban wood occasionally and that can vary just like anywhere.
Bill, I have that tool. It is beefy and very adjustable at the same time. Mine is adjusted for the transition area of steep sided calabash type bowls and doesn't get changed but is ready when the...
Scott, you might look into the Grizzly G0835. I've only seen it mentioned in the new catalog and guessing it will be less than the G0800. Should make a heck of a bowl lathe.
Prashun, I have never turned on the Laguna. Someone I know asked me what my opinion of the Laguna 18-36 was so I did some research. Looking at the assembly drawings, I found that the 18-36 uses the...
Congratulations on the Laguna 1836. I had under the lathe storage on a Powermatic that started with a basic shelf, then a tool box. Presently I am liking no shelf or storage under the lathe in trade...
Still another description of French polishing that is pretty good. Somewhere in the article is a photo of the "vapor trail" that is left when things are happening right. ...
Reed, why not just hang a platform from the ceiling with a cable you could adjust? Some turners already have pulley systems for living heavy blanks.
John, can't say I've ever seen anything like it. I can sure appreciate the work involved and it is really a masterpiece.
Its obvious the one in the first photo doesn't work right for the situation. The guage is tilted and the reading is skewed. I like the Ellsworth method because its simple and you can create a gauge...
I noticed what I first thought to be a knot when slabbing a log on my bandsaw mill, then noticed it was grey in the middle with a copper ring around it. Later I determined that it was a copper...
I don't think you are missing anything and make perfectly good sense.
I have 25" swing and felt as you do that there was no need for a steady that could accommodate that. I built mine so it...
Sounds like a Texas Toothpick or a version of.
Was just thinking it was about the time your decorated lathe would appear. Will have had mine a year in February. Don't know if I will decorate it but might clean it up and treat it to a coat of...
I was wrong on that . Went to Oneway website and apparently they have Pro PM as well. Maybe by Crown??
Jason, Pro PM are Crown, Oneway gouges are M42
Freehand, just rest your hands/fingers on the platform.
