Quigley and I missed all of the fireworks excitement, last night. He is terrified of the noise so he and I hide in the basement during the show.

 

@Gerald turned some really neat tulips this week-

 

Check out his post and how he made these at-

 

He also added some additional images of his stunning "Beads of Courage" turnings to his Hollow Forms gallery. Take a look-

 

 

@PostalTom is taking turning classes at his "local" Woodcraft store. He asked a question about Easy Wood Tools and which one(s) would the best to get. How about hopping over to his post and giving him your opinion. Easy Wood Tools is one of our very generous sponsors.

 

 

@Steve Krumanaker ran into a "minor" problem when working on a beautiful walnut hollow turning. You really need to see how he solved his problem. It might just very well come in handy one day-

 

The Woodturning OnLine newsletter came this past week. Their lead video has shown up a couple of places on the Internet, recently. If you haven't seen the video, it is worth a watch. A solution for a problem we all face- tearout-

 

 

In the "New and Hot" department of the newsletter they have highlighted a great deal on sanding mesh disks-

 

Here's the link to the supplier of the disks-

Carl Jacobson turns a neat project for a worthy cause. He makes a tape measure for "Makers Make It Matter". Here's a link if you are interested in helping out this non-profit organization- https://makersmakeitmatter.com/.

Nice post Lew.  The tape measure really caught my eye.  Have not watched it yet but it looks like the tape is flexible for measuring round objects.  Just up our alley.

Great Post, Lew.

 

I too missed the fireworks - Jake does not like them either so we gave him some meds to help with his anxiety (worked really well)

Nice Job Lew, I too like that tape measure.

Great job this week Lew. Found the Shear Cut video interesting.

Thanks guys for the kind words!
