Our Patriot Turners-

@jthornton Posted a question about dust collection for his lathe. He posted pictures of his shop along with a description of what he currently has set. Please check his post and see if you can offer any suggestions to help him.

JT continues to work on his "Dizzy Bowl". He has taken a lot of time to document the steps a and share the progress with us-

You can catch up with his continued progress here-

 

 

@Masonsailor finished up the bowl that will be the prize in his neighborhood's get-together. Some lucky family will really be happy with this-

"What's On Your Lathe" got a post from @forty_caliber. I think he must have hit the jackpot on Pecan!

For The Newbies-

Ever use CA glue to fix a turning only to find out later that the CA stained the wood? This came in an email from Kent Weakley from Turn A Wood Bowl-

Richard Raffan demonstrates how to modify an already turned bowl. Notice the use of the jam chuck which will be talked about more in Cindy Drozda's presentation.

 

 

Another toothpick holder with a unique shape. Some spindle work and a little hollowing from Carl Jacobson-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Alan Stratton continues to add Celtic Knots to his turnings. This time he experiments with a bowl.

 

 

Embellishing a turning with color can turn an ordinary piece into something spectacular. This one from Craft Supplies USA on dying-

 

 

Ebonizing may only be a single color but it can add striking effects to a turning. This article from Fine Woodworking was written more for the woodworker but can easily be "applied" to a turned object-

A video for the recipe for the ebonizing solution can be found here-

New Turning Items-

Neither of these are really new. But some insights from other turners on equipment and resources.

 

 

 

 

 

Everything Else-

Been finishing up those little natural edge, flowering cherry tree bowls. Pictures to follow...
