ONE DAY LEEFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@Gerald started a new topic for our turners! I hope we can make this one as popular as the one @RustyFN started for showing what's on our lathes!

 

So far we've had two members add items.

 

 

Let's make this topic sail to the "Most Posts" list! 

 

 

Our other continuing topic of "What's On Your Lathe" also had activity!

@RustyFN and @forty_caliber both added some of what they are working on! Check out this post for more images!

 

 

 

 

@forty_caliber also posted a nice little "catch-all" bowl. I think these bowls are so useful. Not too large to take up a lot of space but large enough to hold most small items. Great for pocket dumps!

Of course, if you don't have a chuck, there are other ways to attach a bowl blank to the lathe. Sam Angelo shares his thoughts on some methods of securing that blank-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

It's just past the first of the month and the videos from "4 Ways" is available. This month Richard Raffan, Tomislav Tomasic, Sam Angelo and Mike peace each turn their version of a natural edge bowl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tim Yoder turns a beautiful Flame Elder platter. He eve uses some of his Easy Wood Tools in the process!

 

 

It is not too soon to start thinking about making Christmas ornaments. Alan Stratton creates one that is out of this world!

 

 

Craft Supplies USA has an idea for something that the ladies in your life might enjoy-

Wow!  What a round up of videos this week.  That should keep us bust for awhile.  Love it.  Liking the natural edges ones especially.

Thanks Lew and I know what I would like to add to my Christmas list.

@HandyDan Thank you!
