Abbreviated edition tonight. Life here has taken an entirely new direction.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@RustyFN showed us the beginnings of a vase he is going to turn. This will be from a glued up blank.

 

Rusty shows us some additional images in his ongoing post-

 

 

Last week we posted a bowl by @RustyFN. That posted generated lots of discussion on methods of attaching a turning on a chuck. If you missed the follow-ups, here's the entire post-

For The Newbies-

Mike Peace has a short video describing how to use a "non-turning" tool to help make duplicating on the lathe a little easier. I have used this idea in the past and it really works!

The AAW has offered a free digital download of Woodturning FUNdamentals.

Mike also has a review video of the D_Way beading tool.

New Turning Items-

Tim Yoder create a beautiful handle for a new stainless steel honey dipper. 

 

 

Everything Else-

I did manage to find a couple of minutes to put finish on the little hollow vessel I had turned. The finial was the one I used the spreadsheet formulas to design.

 

 

Safe turning

 

 

Looking good there Lew.

Nothing abbreviated about this post.  Still plenty to review.  Thanks and hope life gets back to normal soon.

Plenty for me to read, tomorrow.  Just got back from visiting my Dad, he had knee replacement surgery yesterday.  Came home today.  Wonders of modern medicine.  He's already up and moving about.

@Gerald Thank You!

 

@HandyDan Thanks! Life here has never been normal 

 

@Woodbutcherbynight Thank You! Glad to hear your Dad is up and around- hope his recovery and therapy are a complete success.

Lew, thank you for the videos and for this post.  I have taken the time during the heat of the day to watch these videos.  I also copied the booklet from the AAW to my hard drive and will use it for reference.  Thanks, Lew.

@FlGatorwood Thanks! I did the same thing with the booklet, now just need time to go thru it completely.
