Summer's about over and the days are getting shorter. Less yard work means more lathe time!

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@nevinc has really put his lathe to work this week. He showed us a bunch of bowls, with different design!

He describes what he has done in this post-

 

Nevin also worked on a box elder bowl with a unique shape-

He provides us with more information in his post-

 

 

@forty_caliber also has been busy with more of his pecan stash! he posted a couple of bowls for us to drool over-

There's more images and descriptions at-

 

Forty then had a chance to finish up the bowl on which he used epoxy and diopside inlay-

More images and specifics can be found in this post-

 

 

@Gerald added a video of a neat little toy on which he has been experimenting. He calls them "Tippy Tops". Check this post to see what they do!

 

 

Another addition to our continuing thread- "Off The Lathe And Just Finished"

For The Newbies-

A few video short from Tim Yoder and Ron Brown 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Both Tim and Ron have been producing these short videos to help the newer turner understand some of the nuances of turning. You can check out their series at https://www.youtube.com/@woodturningwithtimyoder/featured  and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMD5dw_8FCyaHPjztP5sklw

 

 

I think everyone knows how I hate to sand, mainly because I never get the results I see from other turners. Cindy Drozda recently did a live Tool Talk showing her sanding techniques. I learned a lot.

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

@Gerald's post on Tippy Tops coincided with this video from Alan Stratton. Alan revisited these in hopes of having better success. Check out Alan's process from turning spheres freehand.

 

 

 

Kent Weakley turns a wooden bowl but not without some difficulty. He explains what happened and how to correct it.

 

 

 

 

Mike Peace shared a video of an IRD he recently conducted. The video is rather long but the demonstration of the threading jig/device is interesting.

 

 

Not all tree logs are suitable for turning bowls or larger pieces. Richard Raffan explains the phenomena of "wind shake"  or "cup shakes".

Safe turning

Thanks Lew.  Proper tool height is important.  I've often thought making one with acme thread would be a good idea until I get to the part of locking it in place without ruining the thread.

Thanks for the video posts some good stuff today. I think Alan's process on the top is a bit extreme. I feel that top speed is a major factor and really like his launcher idea. Also weight distribution is a problem so will have to try his idea of returning the bottom.

Lyle makes a threaded tool post , might give you some ideas.
