For The Newbies-

Lyle Jamieson's Tuesday Tip is about removing that little nub from the inside of a bowl-

 

 

Anxious to turn that first bowl. It doesn't have to be a monster! In fact small bowls are very useful as Kent Weakley demonstrated-

 

 

Another nice little hollowing project from Mike Peace that doesn't require a large hollowing system. Couple of neat tips included!

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Now that you have that laser, how can you use it with your turning projects? Carl Jacobson has some ideas-

 

 

 

New Turning Items-

Not any new products but Woodturners Wonders has revamped their website.

Everything Else-

I know it seems like I don't do any turning but I have a valid excuse. A month ago, I committed to creating rolling pin blanks for the local woodturning club. They've been a little slow in getting me the remainder of the materials. My shop is a "one man" shop- literally!! Only one person can fit at a time! Now I have everything waiting for more materials as time is critically short.

 

 

Also, a little over a week ago I did an Easy Wood Tools demo and will be doing another in about a week and a half. All my stuff is packed for transport and not easily accessible. In the middle of all that, I'm trying to work on a new jig (ala Alan Stratton) for the bandsaw.

 

 

 

Safe turning

Thanks Lew nice post.  Trying to do ten things at the same time leaves me frustrated at times too.

Thanks for the post Lew. I notice in AAW and FB pics more beading as in the Peace video

@HandyDan Thanks! Makes it especially difficult when the shop is so small.

 

@Gerald  Thank you! Maybe beading is the favor of the month.
