Tom has signed up for a turning class at his local Woodcraft store. He started a discussion about bowl turning tools. He had lots of great responses. Read the entire discussion here- http://thepatriotwoodworker.com/topic/19236-crown-turning-tools/#comment-100059

 

Mr. David Reed Smith published another whistle project. Looks like this would be a fun project to make and then send home with the grand-kids!

 

The entire article, with step-by-step instructions, can be found at-  http://davidreedsmith.com/Articles/Whistle/WarblingWhistle.html.  As you read the article check out the method/chuck Mr. Smith uses for eccentric turning.

 

New video from Tim Yoder- turning a winged burl bowl. Check out the Easy Wood Chuck, too!

 

 

Safe Turning

 

Thanks for the nod on my ornaments Lew.  Nice post a usual.  I like the whistles for the grand kids.  Made me smile, or should I say an evil grin.

Copying Dan but thanks for the nod from me as well. Great to have a place where like minded people can share with one another. Our club meets this weekend, ya'll are invited!

Yes we do Gerald! I took care of it for him.

Thanks for the kind comments. Guess I need to check more than the links, for accuracy, when I post these.
