The Patriot Woodturners have been busy this past week, with a wide range of projects and questions.

 

Ron turned a really nice looking little vase from a piece of old shrubbery. Beautiful colors and grain patterns.

 

His post is here- 

 

John turned a batch of seam rippers and some pepper grinders. These are real beauties-

 

 

 

Here's a link to his post- 

 

Dan showed us how he makes turned pens without spending a fortune-

 

He explains his process in this post-

 

Our founder, John, posed a question about using a chuck for turning a square blank. He is in the process of making rocking chair parts. Of course he had to make us all jealous by showing his awesome Easy Wood Chuck 

 

Check out what our turnes had to say about this-

 

Steve has created a very timely project. It is a special Easter egg.

 

The amazing part is that it is lighted!

Safe Turning

Thanks for the nice recap to the week.  I enjoyed Carl's video to.  What a great group of people woodturners are.

 

Another nice edition of Wednesday's Wisdom. Great Job, Lew

Yet another "home run" Lew!! You do good work!! Thanks!

Great recap Lew! And thanks so much for featuring my question about the EWT chuck! It is a nice chuck indeed. The fit and finish is akin to fine gunsmiths, just absolutely beautiful.

I see the turners here are making some great projects, way to go folks!

I know these Wed topics take time to compose Lew, we love them, thanks so much.

Thanks for all of the kind words, guys. I really do appreciate them!

 

You guys make the posts possible. Thank you all for showing us your projects and techniques and posting the questions for discussion!
