Popular Post lew Posted October 9, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 A little different format this week. No lathe and different scenery There were some additional comments and information about @HandyDan's finials. Please see his post for what was said- @Kevin Beitz is looking for a non-typical lathe head stock. Check out his request and see if you may know where he can locate one- @Gene Howe gave me a heads-up on a group that is helping combat veterans thru woodturning. Please checkout this YouTube video and share it with others to help get the word out- Rick Turns posted the September woodturning videos list- It's not too early to start thinking about turning those Christmas ornaments. Here, Sam Angelo does a birdhouse- And, Mike Peace let us know about this ornament contest- Mike Peace also added a video on making a tail stock cone center. These are very useful items especially when turning projects that have drilled/hollowed centers. Safe turning Cal, p_toad, DuckSoup and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerald Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Thanks for the post Lew. I have been thinking about a long center point for the live center but wood might do the job FlGatorwood, Cal and Gunny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted October 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 @Woodbutcherbynight Thanks! It was nice to get away. @Gerald Thank You! I have an Easy Wood Tools center and mad some cones that thread onto it. Still need to make one with a little steeper angle to fit a variety of hole diameters. @HandyDan Thanks!

FlGatorwood Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Thank you, Lew. A little late but catching up. The cone center, I have made one of cherry and it works very well. I used a Forstner bit to make it fit my tailstock center. then while it was fitted over the tailstock, turned the rest of it down. Since, I didn't have the funds to purchase one but had plenty of cherry, it has worked for me. I have a couple. Hope to make one in the next week or so and will post pictures.
