AMEN!!!

Beautiful! Colors and execution of the finished product!
Vacuum chambers and pressure pots are interesting ways to occasionally do something a little different.

Keith,
Thanks for all you've done and continue to do with Sawmill Creek. It goes without saying (but should not), but the time and effort that you have put in here are greatly appreciated. I know...

This describes my thoughts on this.....to each his own.

Love it....gotta make use of every square inch.

I believe they are made of Beech........at least, mine is made of Beech.

Carbide cutter with negative rake.
Also, if it is a natural stone inlay of some sort, ceramic sandpaper and/or diamond grit will save you a lot of time/heartache.

Tony,
I looked at it closely after seeing your response and you are right......it is a series of parallel grooves. Not threads. I guess I was just expecting that it was threads. I hope it is hard...
Thanks Mel, I know it's a spur center but what I am trying to find out is the identity of the part so I can see what is needed to use it. Hoping to find a brand or maker of the part.
I have searched...
I bought this is as part of a package of extras from a turner and there was nothing that it would screw into in the group of items. It has male threads. It seems it would screw into some adapter...

Tim,
I'm going to speak up and say there is not "one choice" or "one way" to do it. I have been using carbide scrapers(Easy Woods and Simple Tools) and also conventional bowl gouges(Thompson,...
Have you tried a sealer like Myland's ? I have used it(2 or more coats, sanding in between) and had great results in punky spalted pieces(some of my favorite) before. Just soak it in with a brush...
Had my 1836 for 6-7 years. Love it. Have added extensions, etc to add to capabilities of doing bigger pieces. It all works great.

Woodhaven makes some nice jigs. I used their large one years ago to make a big coffee table.

I did moved my Laguna 1836 in and out of my garage for over a year until I finally decided to add a room specifically to my shop for the lathe. The 1836 had the castors( I bought them with the lathe)...
I would suggest looking at these. HERE
I use them for numerous items in shop and around the house. There is an app that you use on your phone that is easy to program and use. So, your phone is your...
Creative and nice looking! Well done in all areas!

Let the DNA soak a little before attempting to remove it.

TYvek tape and/or hot glue dams will go a long way. Another thought is figure out a way( maybe turn it on lathe) to make a circular "Moat" and line it with tyvek tape and put the bowl in upside down...
Tom,
So sorry for your loss. Condolences to your entire family. There is definitely some comfort in her peaceful passing.

Thanks Keith and Jackie for the help. It is all back working now.
I think I got automatically directed to the VBulletin support as I was trying to log in. Thansk for the help,

Just finished this up a couple of weeks ago. Some strapping, 4 rods, cable and (4) 2" filters(20x20) . I have it hanging along a wall and on a winch so I can bring it down to change filters when...
