Expand Your Horizons-

Last week's posts by the "4 Ways" collaborators discussed cutting threads in a project. Three of the turners used hand chased threads. This week we are adding some additional information on thread cutting for those who might want to dive in a little deeper.

 

 

 

Turning Time With Easy Wood Tools-

Welcome to the latest addition to our weekly post for woodturners.  As many of you know, Easy Wood Tools has been a sponsor of our site for a very long time. As a small family owned business, I felt we should provide a little more exposure for them. They have always been kind enough to support our fundraising efforts. 

What you will see, in this sub-heading, are turning ideas, tips, projects, and tool reviews focused on Easy Wood Tools products.

Let's start this journey with the Easy Chuck, reviewed by Craft Supplies USA-

Lew, I love the new EWT section!

They do so much for our community, from their year long support to the fundraisers they participate in, thanks for highlighting our sponsor EWT Lew! And the layout and format looks great!
