Opinion needed on DELTA LA200 MIDI LATHE
Ok so I have always wanted to learn how to turn, However there has always been something that has gotten in the way. Because I have no experience with turning I have always looked but never pulled the trigger on anything. I came across a used DELTA LA200 MIDI LATHE Model 49-460 ( which is supposed to be the variable speed version). The lathe and chuck for $200, if I want a set of 5 Crown tools included it would be $300. I haven't been able to find alot of info on a used price
A glue bottle that actually works well
My daughter got this glue bottle for me last Christmas and I really like it. It seldom plugged and the glue squeezes up from the bottom and the cap is always handy. I don't know where she got it but it is called Glu-boy and I bet you can find it on the web I'll always have one.
Cabinet doors
I'm making cabinet doors for my son. I have 3/16" plywood. Do you think making 1/4" dado joints are to wide. Should I consider the 1/16" for expansion? Or is that too much? I'm doing a mortise & tension joint on the corners. It would make it so much easier doing the 1/4". I try to get 1/4" plywood when I do my doors but all these odd size plywoods anymore.

Castelbuono in Sicily. My next carving/gilding project.
FrederickH posted a topic in Wood Carving,
I've just returned from 3 weeks in Sicily and photographed this shell in a castle/chapel in Castelbuono, Sicily. It was a series of shells that were on top of the seats in the chapel of an estate there. The first photo shows the interior of the chapel and the second shows my choice of shells there to carve. I'll try to document the process for this group here.
