When my computer crashed, last week, I lost my "Wednesday's" topics list's most recent additions. This week's post is a little thin.

 

Sometime back, on another forum, I saw an interesting steady rest designed primarily for removing the tenon on a turning. The device was being manufactured by Jerry Mercantel. He is selling his steady rest through a couple of Woodcraft stores and is advertizing from his website.

 

 

He has other turning products as well. Check out his stuff at- https://www.woodturnerstools.com/

 

 

Carl Jacobson has a video demonstrating turning a crush grind pepper/salt grinder. What's different here is the method used to capture the mechanisms inside the turnins. Most of the instructions for these mechanisms call for removing the locking tabs and epoxying the mechanisms in place. Carl demonstrates using a special tool the allows the use of the locking tabs.

 

 

A nice article by RIchard Raffan, published by the AAW, on turning a simple wooden tray-

 

 

Here's the PDF- AW3101p22-26.pdf

 

 

Finally, a very short video comparing several Jacobs chuck for wood turning-
