Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners August 14, 2019

Our Patriot Turners-

@FlGatorwood gave us a heads up about a new "OneWay" lathe that can be used while sitting. Several of our turners have devised their own methods of using a lathe in a sitting position. Check out Steve's post for the link to the lathe and some of the comments and ideas our turners offered-

 

By the way, @FlGatorwood is feeling a little under the weather lately, How about we all send him some positive thoughts and good cheer!

 

 

@Gerald posted a new topic in the turners tip section. If you have considered textured embellishments, check out Gerald's tip-

 

 

 

What’s Coming Up-

A reminder that the Mid Atlantic Woodturning Symposium is getting closer-

For The Newbies-

Your new lathe came with a "knock-out bar". It probably works great for the manufacturer's supplied equipment. However, as you upgrade to newer accessories, you might find the bar leaves a little to be desired. Mike Peace has a nice video on making a better bar-

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Tim Yoder has a 2 part video on turning a thin walled Maldrone bowl. The first part of the video is filled with great tips on prepping this special wood (the second part is linked from Tim's YouTube channel)-

 

 

 

New Turning Items-

Carl Jacobson posted a YouTube video demonstrating some new turning accessories. I think we mentioned the magnetic light a while back but here's your chance to see it in action!

 

 

Everything Else-

Have to mark the knock out bar end as a needed upgrade.  Thanks for the post Lew!!

[Gerald]

Thanks for another varied and full post Lew. I probably would not check some of this out if not for your posts

[FlGatorwood]

Thanks, Lew.  I did not expect that.  I hope this lathe gives some ideas of how to much of the same thing with present equipment.  An update on me, the bathroom frequency is quieter and the burning is almost gone.  Feeling much better.  Thank all for your concerns and prayers.
