Popular Post lew Posted February 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 We are into February already. Yesterday the temperature was over 60° but today back in the 30's. Typical Pennsylvania weather! Our Patriot Turners- @Woodbutcherbynight showed us a really well thought out wire burning tool. This one can be used with one hand! Check out his post for a detailed description of the build and all of the great comments Gunny received! @Masonsailor continues the process of turning the pieces for his "vertical lazy susan". He has completed the three tulips- His complete thread, showing the progress, is at- @Ron Altier posted a beautiful blue ornament. As always, Ron's work is spectacular. I think he finally has a handle on that UV finish- Please check all of the great comments he received on this one- What’s Coming Up- Click on the above image for the link to the show website and registration information. Check out who is going to be there- Chris Caliendo- president of Easy Wood Tools! Thanks @Jim from Easy Wood Tools for the heads up!!! For The Newbies- As with most everything, there's more than one way to accomplish a process. Mounting a bowl blank, on a chuck, is no exception. Some turners use a recess while others will use a tenon. Here is video from Sam Angelo explaining his take on which to use- If you are looking for classes to improve your turning skills, Craft Supplies USA may have something available. Here's the link to their complete list- https://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/t/205/3-Day-Woodturning-Workshops-(Deposit-Only) Expand Your Horizons- I found a rather interesting video from Lyle Jamieson. He discusses the requirements for "reach" in turning advance shapes. New Turning Items- Woodturners Wonders has a couple of new items available. Along with their CBN wheels, they are now offering diamond wheels. They are also offering a new, two prong drive spur- All their products can be found at their website- https://woodturnerswonders.com/ Everything Else- We often mention embellishments to our turnings and have shown several methods to accomplish this. Mike Peace posted a video showing the tool he uses on small projects.- In addition, here is the link to a printed handout with sources for the parts needed to make the tool- http://www.mikepeacewoodturning.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Rotary-Texturing-tool-01282020.pdf Rick Turns has uploaded his list of YouTube turning videos for January. Why not give Rick a "Thumbs Up" and a positive comment, on his channel, for his efforts- @Cliff posted a neat video showing how one turner engineered the mechanics necessary to make specialized turnings. I remember a while back @BillyJack asking us about a more simple solution. Enjoy!

HandyDan Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Good stuff again Lew. I'm an expansion in a recess fan for mounting purposes. Never had a failure but have had a couple tenons break off. Cal, FlGatorwood and Gunny 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 @FlGatorwood Thank You! You guys make it easy with all your posts! @Woodbutcherbynight Thanks! I was hoping to find some of those bronze bushings locally but no luck so far. @Gerald Thank You! @HandyDan Thanks! I, too, mostly use the recess. I like the way I can shape the bottom and foot of the bowl with this method. Gunny, Cal, HandyDan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even bother to try, just ordered them. Worked for him, I should get fair results. FlGatorwood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
