Tomorrow is the 80th anniversary of D-Day. There are so few of the brave men and women who served in World War II left to honor their sacrifices to keep our country free. The Greatest Generation is almost gone.

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@StaticLV2 posed a question to our members concerning turning if you are a "Lefty". Specifically, dealing with hollowing out the bowl's inside. If you van help him, please see his post and provide some input-

 

 

@Masonsailor has been building doors for a while. Paul got a chance to sneak over to his lathe to turn several of these door related items. Check out his post for the details!

 

 

 

@Fred W. Hargis Jr posted his turned box for use to drool over. First partially finished and then completely finished-

 

 

More information and descriptions at-

And

 

 

@Gerald finished up his work on an urn for his daughter-in-law's father. It is a beautifully done piece and a fitting resting place for a loved one.

 

Gerald's post includes some process images and description of what he has done-

 

 

A week or so ago, @RustyFN showed us some turned lidded boxes he made from boxwood. Rusty's friend does chip carving and he embellished the two boxes with amazing work-

 

Check out Rusty's post to see the complete series of pictures from start to finish-

 

 

Once again, our turners have come through with an amazing collection of work for our "ON/OFF" the lathe posts! Thank You!!!

From "ON"-

@Gerald and @calabrese55 worked on hollow vessels-

 

 

Lots of great comments. Pick up where we left off last week at-

 

 

And from "OFF"-

@StaticLV2 and @kreisdorph created some amazing work  segments and bowls-

Expand Your Horizons-

Craft Supplies USA has a nice tutorial for turning a utility box-

 

 

It is just after the first of the month and the "4 Ways" collaboration videos were posted. This project was a little different as each turner made their own favorite project.

New Turning Items-

Not new but I use this bandsaw blade for resawing inserts for my rolling pins. Thought maybe some of the other turners here may do similar cutting-

Also, last week we posted a new jig from Ron Brown's Best. @HandyDan noticed that one of Ron Brown's jigs was a hollowing stabilizer. Dan said he was unfamiliar with the tool. 

 

 

This is a simple design and has limited depth capabilities compared to the ones used by Tim Yoder or Lyle Jamieson

 

Everything Else-

 

Safe turning

Thanks Lew.  I see a couple videos I want to watch too.

Thanks Lew for the mention . I see that the 4 way has some interesting projects
