Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners February 7, 2024

[lew]

Our member @Gerald is recovering from knee surgery and some complications. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@Steve Krumanaker decided to get a head start on next years Christmas ornaments!

 

Steve does awesome turnings and embellishments. Check out our member's comments-

 

 

@RustyFN asked a question concerning a specific bowl saver system. 

If you can give him some information, I'm sure he would appreciate it.

 

 

@knockonit posted some of his recently turned rolling pins in the "What's On Your Workbench" forum.

 

You can see his post at- 

 

 

@Grandpadave52 gave us a heads up on a video from Tom Silva (This Old House). Tom makes a segmented bowl.

Dave's post is here-

 

 

We've had entries in both our continuing threads of lathe projects.

From "What's On Your Lathe" an almost finished platter

 

 

 

And from the "Off The Lathe And Just Finished" thread-

@RustyFN showed us his sweet pyrography work on his latest bowl-

 

 

Also posted was a little, odd shaped walnut bowl-

For The Newbies-

A turning tip for finishing, from Lyle Jamieson-

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

I saw this finished item on a couple of social media sites and was intrigued by how it was made. Then this popped up!

 

 

Tim Yoder turned a "bowl from a board"

In the video he used a device from Ron Brown's Best. https://longworthchuck.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=64

 

 

Kind of a neat  idea from Alan Stratton. I'm always amazed at how easily he make it look to turn spheres.

Everything Else-

Today  was laser day in my shop. Had several turnings and other stuff that needed signed/dated. The little scissor lift works really well for focus adjustments. I usually wait until I have several items as it requires a little space to set up everything.

 

 

 

Safe turning

Wow, awesome, info packed thread this week Lew. Appreciate the nod for my small contribution. I'm not a turner, but always in awe of the creativity and talent of all of you that are.

 

Prayers to @Gerald. Missing him here, but more importantly is his full and complete recovery. 

[RustyFN]

Thanks Lew. A lot of great videos again.

[Gerald]

Thanks Lew for the post. I see several projects possible in this post
