Another week in the books and here we are on a brand new site!!! I Love IT!!!!!!! Just like everyone else, I'm learning my way around and hoping I don't make too many mistakes by posting stuff in the wrong location. I did get some turnings finished. Some bottle stoppers made from Spalted Maple and using Ruth Niles' stainless steel stoppers-

I used satin wipe on poly for the finish.

Woodturning OnLine sent their latest newsletter. It is filled with some great stuff. Anyone who has ever had a catch, when turning, needs to watch the video by Richard Raffan. He explains and demonstrates the catches and why they happen. Great stuff.

I'm not sure how to add a video to this post, but here is a link to the You Tube video-

There is also articles on turned rings and how to make money from turnings!

The entire issue can be found here-

Popular Woodworking also released another in their series of Tim Yoder videos. In this one, Tim demonstrates how to turn a cylindrical box with a drawer. You can watch the video here-

    Lew I love those bottle stoppers and the Ruth Niles are the best ones out there. I am out of them right now and about to work up an order.

    I agree about her stoppers and I'm out, too. She just lives up the road a couple of miles. It's always fun to go there to pick up the stoppers and see what she is up to.

    I haven't tried any of the Ruth Niles stoppers yet. maybe I'll venture over to her site and get a few soon.

     

    Love that Rooke one.
