I hope everyone can enjoy a peaceful Easter accordance with your customs.

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@Smallpatch was hitting the yard sale circuit when he spied an old lathe. Not one to pass up a bargain, he took it home a refurbished it.

Check out his post for more images and the back story-

 

 

New member @User74 posted a question about carbide tools. We had a very informative discussion about the quality of tools and cutters. Check out the post and see if you can add to it-

 

 

@Steve Krumanaker created a beautiful Beads of Courage box. Steve used a special technique to create the staves for his turning project.

Last week, we posted a link to the Mid-Atlantic Woodturning Symposium. One of the presenters is Alan Lancer. Here's a short video of what you can expect to see from him-

 

 

 

For The Newbies-

A tip, from Lyle Jamieson, for holding small turnings without a chuck-

 

 

Easy Wood Tools shared a new video on how their products are made. Easy Wood Tools are made, in America, entirely in house- even their carbide cutters!

 

@Jordan Martindale

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Tim Yoder shows us how he makes his French rolling pin. Tim is always fun to watch!

 

 

Richard Raffan is bucking the trend of large turnings. In these two videos, he creates lovely small turnings. His commentary, while turning, gives an insight into his turning techniques-

 

 

 

 

 

The Woodworker's Journal has published the Woodturning Monthly newsletter. Nice article on how to add butterfly patches to a turning.

New Turning Items-

Got a heads-up from @Grandpadave52 about a great price on a Longworth chuck sale.

 

 

 

Everything Else-

 

Safe turning

Thanks Lew for the nod. My apologies to the group for not including sale duration, however, It does appear to still be in effect for now.

 

Another busy week with a lot to see and do.
