Our Patriot turner of the week is ATBT. Michael turns beautiful shaving brushes. Here's an example from one of his posts-

 

He also has a Facebook page that shows his work. Here's a link to that-

As The Brush Turns

 

Of course, a shaving brush is just half of the combination for a close shave. Michael also make awesome scales for straight razors. Again, a picture from his Patriot posts-

 

 

Welcome to the Patriot Woodworker, Michael. We are looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful items.

 

Easy Wood Tools, one of our most generous sponsors, has partnered with Carl Jacobson to produce very informative videos designed to advance the knowledge of beginning turners as well as those more experienced. One of the latest video compares the use of carbide cutters versus the traditional turning gouge. The video also introduces a nice air powered disk sander. The sander is covered first and the cutting tools start at about 2 minutes.

 

 

Finally, our buddy Tim Yoder has a nice how-to video on making a jewelry/necklace holder. Tim's videos are always fun to watch.

 

 

Safe Turning!

Those are nice pieces Michael. I too look forward to seeing more of your work.

 

Thanks Lew for the videos and the post!

 

Nice find on all three of those.

You've done it again Lew.  Interesting works for us to view.
