Last day for relatives. Spent the day driving around the Gettysburg Battlefield. No matter how many times you go there, it is always sobering.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@Ron Altier posted a question about gluing acrylic to wood. He received a few responses. Pease check out his post and provide him with your experiences-

 

 

Ron also posted a knitting needle vase he made for his wife-

@hawkeye10 is looking for some input on a new four jaw chuck. He received several comments on the one he was eyeing. Why not give him your opinion about what you like in your chuck-

 

 

 

@Jim from Easy Wood Tools posted a picture of the Easy Wood Tools Christmas tree and it is beautiful.

What’s Coming Up-

For The Newbies-

Tim Yoder has a new video where he shows us the tools he uses in his shop. As turners we often wonder just what tools we need and Tim helps us figure that out.

 

 

 

One of the biggest challenges in turning is trying to figure out how to hold the material securely. Unlike flat work, turnings are moving while we are working on them. Mike Peace offers a video on how to hold small pieces-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

I've been reading a lot lately about "wet sanding" and "sanding paste". Mike Peace has produced a couple of videos on the subject. His explanations are easy to understand and the video are not too long.
