For The Newbies-

A nice spindle turning project from the AAW-

 

 

 

Turned kitchen scoops make nice gifts. Here's another presentation/method from Wood Magazine-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

One of the nicest compliments you can get from another turner is- "OK, how'd you do that?" Here's a video from Carl Jacobson that will surely get someone to ask that!!

[RustyFN]

Thanks Lew. A lot of great videos to watch.

 

[HandyDan]

Thanks Lew.  Often wondered if CBN wheels needed cleaned.  I guess this could also be applied to diamond hones too. 

[Gerald]

Thanks for the posts Lew. I think cleaning CBN may be controversial as I see posts on both sides.

@RustyFN Thank You!

 

@HandyDan Thanks!

 

@Gerald Thank You! I guess it makes sense that Ken Rizza would recommend it, as he sells a cleaning product . I'm still using my original green Tormek grinder. Never made the jump to CBN.
