Writing this between relatives in and out-

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@forty_caliber is the latest of our turners to join the Laser Engraver membership. He shows us his setup in this post-

 

Looking forward to seeing more of this setup and learning more about the software for running one of these.

 

Forty also gave us a look at the latest Pecan bowl he is turning-

 

Here's more about the turning-

 

 

In response to last week's "Wednesday's...", @HandyDan turned an ornament from Tim Yoder's video

 

Dan tells us a little about it here-

 

 

Something from our sponsor, Laguna Tools. This is a very important program and is being assisted by Easy Wood Tools as well.

Nice post Lew.  Thanks for the inspiration and the nod on the ornament.  It was a fun little project.

 

I need to watch the mandrel adapters video.  I have made a few for myself but I'm always open to learning new tricks.

@lew Thanks for putting this together.  I look forward to this thread each week.

Another great job, @lew.  We have some really talented turner here on this site.  It is good to see all the turners post.  I have missed Andrew lately.
