lew Posted March 26 Report Posted March 26 Last Wednesday in March already!! Our Patriot Turners- Been quiet on our forum this week so I thought I'd bring back some pieces from out of the past. Pulled these from the Gallery. From @Jari From @Steve Krumanaker From @Gerald What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration- For The Newbies- Mike Peace posted a video on Jam Chucks.

They have both the original and the microfine pastes available. Carl Jacobson demonstrates using the Original grit in this video- Some turners apply a lacquer sanding sealer prior to using the paste as explained in this video. I have used the paste with and without the sanding sealer. It produces and amazing surface! If you are in the Sacramento, CA area, the owners of Easy Wood Tools will be there demonstrating their products at the Woodcraft store March 29, 2025.

Steve Krumanaker Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 Thanks for the nod Lew, that WAS a long time ago. I think maybe it's the first I tried pyrography and I'm sure it's the first zentangle I used. lew, Grandpadave52 and Fred W. Hargis Jr 2 1 Quote
