[lew]

Looks like we might have to opportunity to help a deserving family for Christmas!

 

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

@AndrewB updated us on his new lathe purchase. Really nice lathe stand for his new Jet.

 

He mentioned there was some vibration as certain speed. I'm wondering if it might be a "heavy spot" in the bowl blank he was turning and creating a resonance vibration.

 

Check out Andrew's post here:

 

 

@Headhunter posted some of his Ringmaster turnings in our Ringmaster Sub-Forum

 

He received lots of comments and some questions about the pieces. Check out his work at-

 

 

@Bob Hodge posed an interesting question about an item he was asked to duplicate. 

 

After a lot of input, ideas and guesses, Bob decided to decline the request. We had some really interesting input!

 

 

@RustyFN gave us an update on the beautiful winged bowl he turned. 

 

 

He said the picture is of the "unfinished" piece! Wish my unfinished turnings looked that good!

 

 

We've had some entries on our "What's Off..." this week! @Gerald posted several of his recently completed items.

 

 

 

 

Catchup with all of the images here-

 

 

And, we've had entries in the "What's On..." too!

@calabrese55, @Gerald and @Fred W. Hargis Jr added to the continuing post!

For The Newbies-

Texturing tools can add a new dimension to your turnings. In this video, Mike Peace compares and contrasts several of the available tools.

Nothing for this week 

 

 

Everything Else-

If you have been turning for any length of time, you will probably recognize the name Nick Agar. Nick has been diagnosed with cancer. Here is more information-
