Running a little late with this week's "wisdom". 

I've been at the lathe, a little, working on that platter. I started a finish but did not like it so I'll be doing some sanding and reapply something different. Film at 11.

Brian Havens posted a video on using the scraper. His technical explanations on how the lathe tools work are interesting- at least to me.

 

Tim Yoder is at it again- this time with a turned bracelet. This project uses a metal insert as part of the turning.

 

All of us have different techniques when it comes to turning projects from wet wood and turning green bowls is no exception. Here's a video demonstrating the "twice turned" method. What I found really interesting was the drying procedure between the first and second turning. Also, check out the method of reverse chucking the bowl for the second turning. No jam chuck necessary!

 

Safe Turning!

Pretty Cool videos. 

Thanks for posting them Lew. They are always a help. You can always pick up a new tip here.

Thanks Lew!
