Jeeze, half way thru June already!

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@RustyFN showed us a new vase he is turning. I really like the shape on this one. 

 

Check out his post for all the positive comments-

 

As so often happens, a new turning requires an additional piece of equipment. Rusty's vase project needed a Steady Rest. The one he built looks awesome-

 

Here's more and some comments-

 

 

@Masonsailor created a beautiful base for a protective glass globe. The entire project displays a prized possession

 

 

As always, Paul's post contain informative images about his processes.

 

 

An update on an older thread about lathe tool sharpening. @Bob Hodge has added CBN wheels to his sharpening arsenal and had some questions about using the Wolverine system with the wheels. Please check out his post and offer any advice you can-

Some projects require the use of metal inserts to hold threaded utensils. In this video, Carl Jacobson show a neat way to install the inserts from Ruth Niles-

 

 

A bowl turning video from Alan Stratton. What I found interesting in this one was the faceplate jig and the safety measures used when reverse chucking with the mortice.

 

 

Not sure if everyone can view this video from Lyle Jamison, on Facebook. An interesting method of assuring a reverse chuck maintains the original centerline axis.
