OK, gang, it's that time of year where we get to make a difference in a wounded warrior's life. We all have been blessed with good fortune and here is our chance to give back. Please consider donating and along the way you could win some awesome prizes!

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

Just a reminder, we now have a new sub-forum for those turners using the Ringmaster tool. In addition, @John Morris added a new gallery section for you to post your images!

Speaking of ringed bowls, @HandyDan showed us one of his turning. This was added to last week's Wednesdays...

 

 

Dan used an idea from Mike Waldt to create a neat little box

 

Dan received lots of positive comments and even some ideas for use-

 

 

 

@Gerald does a show at his local Ag Museum. He was kind enough to post some images of some of the activities. Looks like the turned tops were a hit with the little ones!

 

 

Gerald also gave us a heads up on an interesting video covering how to set up a new chuck.

 

 

 

@Grandpadave52 posted an alert that the Woodturner's Monthly newsletter is available! Thanks for the heads-up Dave!

New Turning Items-

Not a tool but a new site from Zac Higgins. If you are into resin casting, Zac has great tips and techniques. Check it out!

 

 

OK, I know you can buy these and Cindy Drozda has a really nice one. However, Harbor Freight often offers these for free-

 

 

Everything Else-

Safe turning and stay well

Thanks for the kind remarks Lew.  Nice thread again this week.  I liked Alan's ornament.  At the start I thought he would use a router to make the grooves.  The tool rest light by Tim Hatch sure is a unique idea.  I see other possibilities there too.

Amazing Lew the time you put in each week providing the resources you do as well as promoting the talent here. We'll done.

Even a couple that peaked my interest a non-turner like me; got them queued in my YouTube watch list.

 

Thanks for the mention too. Even a blind squirrel stumbles upon an acorn once in a while.
