Our Patriot Turners-

@AndrewB converted some logs into turning stock the old fashioned way- hammer and wedge!!!

 

A lot of work!

Maybe I'll finally be able to get back to the lathe!!

 

 

Safe turning

 

 

Thanks for the great content Lew.  I'll enjoy it as always.

Thanks Lew.

Thanks Lew! Bad computer days and “hammer and wedge” just go well together don’t they? 😤😂

What happened? 

Thanks for suffering thru the intolerable computer to get us the info.

That video on the jam chuck was useful, thanks. I'll be trying to make one this weekend (I hope).

@HandyDan  Thank You!  

 

@RustyFN   Thanks!

 

@DeVere   Thank You! It came close to a hammer and wedge solution!

 

@Gerald Thanks! Fortunately there are 3 other computers in the house!

 

@Fred W. Hargis Jr   Thank You! I usually add a layer rubberized shelf liner between the turning and the rounded part of the jam chuck. Adds a little "sticky" to prevent slipping. Something similar to this-
