    Now go to any other forum and try to post a picture and you’ll see what I’m talking about. yes, it’s technically possible to post pretending to be a desktop computer, you can’t post from the mobile...

    If I run the desktop version of SMC I can see photos. It’s not ideal but I can. Text is small. I have to scroll around.

    Go go ahead and try to post a pic from your phone and you’ll see what I’m...
  3. As luck would have it there was an email today...

    As luck would have it there was an email today from ACME with shipping info for the sander. Still no word in the chuck but a real tool in hand will help. Fingers crossed.

    I rarely visit SMC anymore because it’s not mobile friendly. I’ve brought this up with the moderators. I rarely am sitting at a computer browsing forums anymore. I can’t see or post pics from my...

    Maybe they are legit- I can't get in touch with anyone today. If they can't resolve it Monday I'll probably cancel both orders. It wasn't even a smoking deal on the sander- I should have stuck with...
  6. Is ACME Tools a legit store? I think I've been ripped off.

    Just seeing if anyone else has had a good experience with ACME tools. I ordered a drum sander during a Black Friday sale. It was listed as out of stock at the time, so I knew I would need to wait a...

    I’m not going anywhere. I’m just not as active around here as I’d like to be. It’ll be 10 years as a member this February. This has been my primary WW’ing resource. It’s just harder to use now...

    The skin doesn’t view/post pics which is my main gripe. Tapatalk hasn’t worked with SMC for years. It’s too bad. It’s a mobile world out there. I sit down at a real computer maybe once a week. You’ll...
  9. Mobile Friendly version? Forum Runner? Tapatalk? Anything?

    Just being a squeaky wheel here. I’ve brought it up before. Any chance of a mobile friendly version of SMC. I’ll be honest- I rarely visit anymore because I can’t see or post pics without running the...

    I’ve done labels with testor inkjet clear paper under CA glue but not like this. Well done

    How does the LD turn? I have some cherry burl scraps I’d like to cast into pen blanks. I don’t want to...

    I keep an eye on Craigslist. I’m in a fairly rural area, not much available in used tools usually and what is there needs major refurbishment. I barely have time for woodworking. I don’t have time to...
  13. Drum Sander- newer 16” vs older model 19”

    I’m saving up for a drum sander. The super max sanders seem to be very well thought of. I’d consider the Jet as well. They are all very close in price. I’d probably go with the 18”-19” because I’ve...

    When I was researching mine I read they probably don’t need cleaning. I’ve only had mine for about 9 months though.

    Kyle, no foot. I tried to carry the curve further down than usual to add some lift- there is a flat area of about 2” on the bottom- so not truly round across the bottom but no foot.

    John- I’ll...

    Lychee Calabash

    We were fortunate to go on a family vacation to Hawaii earlier in the year and I was able to ship back some blanks. This was a piece of Lychee. Repaired with Koa pewa patches. Finished with Parfix CA...

    For me- natural edge bowls I turn once, 1/4-3/8" thin, and let them warp. Since the rim is already uneven the warping just adds to the organic look. Sometimes I have to go back and clean up the...

    Leland Cypress?

    Is Leland Cypress any good for turning? Some friend had a big one go down with Hurricane Micheal last night.

    Similar to cook pine?

    I have a 1/2” skew and I ground the cutting edge to the same angle as my dovetail jaws. I use it on its side as a negative rake scraper. I can use it for tenons or recesses.

    I’ve recently started using Parfix CA glue as a finish. One coat, wipe on wipe off. Let it dry for a few minutes or hit with accelerator then buff.

    I sanded and finished 4 bowls today.

    I bought a cheap cycling jersey at the local sports supply.

    Pockets in the back. The neck zips up tight. Elastic on the sleeves. It’s a great turning smock.

    Hot glue. Perfect. Makes total sense.

    I’ve tried masking tape and duct tape but the epoxy just seems to dissolve the adhesive of the tape. I do have some of that aluminum tape. I’ll try that as...

    I don’t mind waiting to finish the piece if I have to- it’s just keeping the epoxy in the voids until it sets. I have some 5 minute stuff on hand I use more as an adhesive- I’ll play with some of...
  25. What epoxy/resin are you using to fill voids?

    I have a fair amount of experience with the pour on finish type epoxies, they color and take up fillers well, but the setting time is so long- it’s fine to pour on a table top and let it cure...
