It's been a busy week for me but no turning. Computer upgrades and a 1960's tube type stereo problem. Can you believe a 6GW8 vacuum tube is $49.95 + shipping!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@HandyDan posted a pictorial journey of a super cane he made. He explained how he made this beauty and gave us some really great tips!

Please check out Dan's post and see how he did this-

 

 

@Ron Altier used his new Easy Wood Tools faceplate to turn a sweet little pine box.

He explained how he felt about the new faceplate in his post-

 

Ron also posted a picture of the new faceplate. Everyone who has used the Easy Wood Tools faceplates agreed with his assessment.

 

 

@Gerald showed us a "twisted" box he turned. At first I thought it might have been made on a Legacy lathe but Gerald explained how he did it-

@Jim from Easy Wood Tools shared a video with us from the "Dread Knot Workshop". This really demonstrates what can be done with the new Easy Wood Tools mini hollowers!

We all know lathe chucks are expensive. Every once in a while we might stumble into a good deal but unfortunately the chuck threads and the headstock spindle may not match. Mike Peace put up a video explaining how spindle adapters/inserts may just allow you to take advantage of that good deal-

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Some time during the past couple of weeks, one of our turners posted a recommendation for a turning text. I believe it was @Steve Krumanaker. Steve wasn't sure if he did it but he knew the book I was trying to reference.

New Turning Items-
