Not a lot of activity this week by our turners. I guess everyone is winding down from the elections.

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@RustyFN scored some freshly cut maple and was able to put it to good use-

Rusty also showed us a sweet walnut turning he is working on, looks like this could be a real knuckle buster!

 

 

Check out his post to see why he chose to make this one-

 

 

We had an entry on our "What's ON" this week. A partially finished wave bowl-

For The Newbies-

Sam Angelo posted a video with his thoughts about the necessary tools for the beginning woodworker

 

 

Richard Raffan has a really nice video on the entry cuts using a gouge. Lots of closeup images.

 

 

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Several of our members have built their own drying kilns from various materials. In this video, Glenn Lucas provides some insight into how he built his.

 

He provides a link to more complete information for those who might want to duplicate his efforts.

This sure puts my cardboard box and lightbulb to shame!!!

 

 

Richard Raffan makes, and demonstrates, a tapered sanding drum for his lathe. Pretty neat idea-

Sam Angelo puts the Mike Mahoney hollowing rig through its paces and critiques the results.
