That is beautiful and the idea of giving it to an orphange is wonderful.

No probelm there. .. Keith. The knowledge I have gained from the woodturners here is priceless! Kinda nice having a place to learn and laugh all at the same time. The world needs more "Sawmill...

Mitchell , That inlay is AWESOME but you are probably correct. I am sure it would be abit out of my price range for a "one of a kind" bottle like this. However if all goes well I might be doing more....

Steve, I am in just outside Memphis Tn

Kieth, Thanks for the kind words. Hopefully this isnt too out of place for this type of requsest.

Ed, I really dont have the artwork done I just have...

I really appreciate the response I have gotten on this. For some reason I cant attach a photo to a "PM" so I will post a photo of the "bottle" so you guys can see more of what I was talking about. I...

I am in need of someone to do an engraving project for me. I sent a PM to the closest person on the list and so far no response. I turned a "wooden wine bottle pepper grinder" and need to have the...

Gary, It sounds like this little drum sander will work out great for you application. I have flattened ring once on the lathe, Just seemed to take forever. I would rather flatten rings and gule up a...

Art, Yes the thickness is somewhat resticted but only by the distance between the bed and the drum. I have a 10" capacity Mini and a 3" drum but can still plane a 3 or 4 inch thick piece. It really...

Stu, I actually have 2 drums now, one with 80 Grit and one with 120 grit. When I made the drum I turned it as close as I could and glued a full sheet of 80 grit paper to a board and then ran it under...

Thanks guys

Jeff,

It is just mounted between centers. It does seem to line up pretty well. The centers leave a dent so each time I use it I just line up the centers with the depression made...

I know I havent posted here for a while but that dont mean I havent been busy. I will post some segmented stuff when I get some better photos. I put together a "shop built" drum sander to flatten the...

Words escape me right now .. All I can say is WOW !!!!!

Vey Cool. So when you going to show me how to make one? :D

New guy question here. What do you guys use to seal freshly cut logs while you are waiting to rough turn them? Also if you cut a bowl blank from a log how do you seal that while you wait? I have past...

I am awe struck. That thing is BEAUTIFUL. How about showing us guys how one would go about making something like that.

Thanks for taking time to shows us new...

As a beginner I try to get out and practice on the little lathe at least every other day and here's a few of the ones that were worth taking a picture of. Sorry about the photography.

The first...

Another Geezer/Lurker chimes in with a goblet ... Or as my wife sys an egg holder. She is made of a piece of Cypress I had laying around. The cypress turned easily but had quite a bit of tearout,...

So that's IT? Well its turned and functional like Loy said ...... No wonder you was keepin it a secret.

Whats not to like about that .. Looks great.

Are you supposed to use more than a roughing gouge on a pen?

After laying ceramic tile for over a week the LOML gave me a "shop pass" to turn a segemented bowl that I glued together over 2 weeks ago. It is 4 1/4 inch tall and 5 1/2 wide. Made of Acijou(sp) and...
