Well another election is in the books. I, for one, will be glad to return to commercials for Ozempic and Liberty Mutual car insurance.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@RustyFN picked up some great looking Sycamore logs-

 

He received lots of comments on the popularity of Sycamore for turning. Check out the comments at-

 

Rust also made a super score at his local Woodcraft store.

Head on over to Tony's post and see more images and the comments from our gang-

 

 

@Fred W. Hargis Jr was perusing some of our older topics and posted an observation about a commonly turned wood-

He has some interesting stuff he is thinking about storing in this one! 

 

 

@forty_caliber has several serious hobbies along with turning. It's fantastic when you can meld them together. In this post from "What's Off Yor Lathe...", Monty turned an adapter to help build his short wave radio antenna farm.

 

 

Also, in the "OFF" topic is a really nice bowl posted by @user74-

+1 Lew. Always an informative thread. I'd already seen the grinder incident video. Valuable for everyone to watch.
