Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners October 16, 2024

[lew]

Beautiful chilly fall weather here in south central PA.

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@AndrewB has himself a brand new lathe! He posted his adventure here-

Check out the discussion on his post!

 

 

@Fred W. Hargis Jr asked our members about how they attach a glue block. 

 

Fred received some great advice. Please see if you can add more to the conversation.

 

 

@RustyFN is considering the purchase of an electric chainsaw. He is looking for input and advice from your experiences. If you have an electric chainsaw, I'm sure Rusty would appreciate your thoughts.

 

 

 

New member, @OldBullWoodworks, asked for our help with a sticky situation he has encounter. Seems he has a bowl stuck on his worm screw. He is looking for ideas of how to remove the turning with out damaging it. Please check out his post and see if you can provide some help.

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I started it to see if it worked and everything seems fine. Thanks.

[HandyDan]

It works for me.
