Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners September 24, 2025

Our Patriot Turners-

@Steve Krumanaker has been making these for quite some time and keeps coming up with interesting designs

 

In his post, Steve shows us more laser designs and how they are put together.

 

What's Coming Up-

Picked this up from a Cindy Drozda's  video  last week-

More information when it becomes available.

 

 

For The Newbies-

From Tomislav Tomasic a couple of nice shop projects-

 

Tim Yoder explains his preference between oil vs. poly in this short video-

 

Expand Your Horizons-

Tomislav has been busy this week filming some projects that would make great gifts or a additions to your sales inventory.

First, some cool salt "shakers"

 

If your skew chisel is feeling lonely (like mine), here's a nice, skew turned kitchen utensil! Great skew practice.

 

Mike Peace turns a 3 axis tool handle for an interchangeable tool collet. 

Link to the collet in "New Turning Items" below.

 

Sometime back, I remember reading about a turning club that made wig stands for donations to the Cancer Society. Richard Raffan shows how to turn one. He called his a "judicial" but the general shape should work for most applications.

 

Turning Time With Easy Wood Tools-

Easy Wood Tools is looking for more demonstrators!  Click the image for complete details.

 

EWT pays a stipend, milage and has discounts for demonstrators. If you belong to a club, spread the word. Maybe a member would be interested.

New Turning Items-

Sam Angelo and Mike Peace both did videos on this wooden handle adapter from Carter and Sons. Just add your own wooden handle. Inserts are available for different diameter tool shafts. I suspect it is a relatively new item.
