Our Patriot Turners-

Last week's posted video on the skew prompted @forty_caliber to challenge us to show the eggs we created. @HandyDan accepted the gauntlet and posted this-

Fantastic work, Dan!!

 

Leave it to @Steve Krumanaker to create another awesome mechanism for embellishing a turning. This one is so cool!  Thanks, Steve!!

 

 

About a year ago, @smitty10101 posted a question about turning end grain and how to handle tear out. New member @Bill Blasic picked up with the posted and added his thoughts. Check out the additional comments-

Everything Else-

Rick Turns list of YouTube woodturning videos from last week-

 

 

 

Finished and delivered the walnut bowls. Nothing special. I really need to get more experience with the Sorby spiral/texture tool. I've watched Darryl Jones ( https://www.youtube.com/Dreadknotwoodshop ) and Jeff Hornug (https://www.instagram.com/jeffreyhornung/ ) to try and understand how they get those beautiful designs but so far mine are miserable failures.

 

I used the sanding paste,  Yorkshire Grit from Easy Wood Tools ( @Jordan Martindale ). Love the results!

The lady was happy o I guess that's what matters.

 

 

Safe turning

I saw this video somewhere and I thought it was you that posted it and gave it a shot then couldn't find where I saw the video.  Still was enjoyable to turn.

I will have to make time to watch this weeks videos.  A couple look interesting.

Your bowls look great.  I never used wax based finishes for fear that there would be a whiter residue left behind in the grain

Thanks for the post Lew. As to spiraling we had Jeff do a demo here and it is a lot the function of the lathe speed ( 500 for mini and 8-900 for full size) and the kind of wood you use. The bowls look great to me
