Our Patriot Turners-

Stand by to be WOWED by our turners!!

We have a new member, who just joined our ranks. @Geezer introduced himself and it would be great to give him a warm welcome-

Member @Steve Krumanaker has been very busy this week. Steve does amazing laser work and pyrography. Some of his creations are sold to a local artisan who sells bee products. Steve tells us about he came up with the design for this honey dipper lid.

Steve embellishes the bottoms of his bowls with pyrography. This week he posted two of the bowls he is working on

Steve calls this design-"Phicops in a circle"

And a walnut bowl-

@RustyFN turned another one of his gorgeous ornaments! His finials rival those of Cindy Drozda!

His post tells about the species he used-

@Rusty S finished up a spectacular hollow vessel. The grain patterns are unreal!!

Check out his post for more about this beauty!

From our continuing post of "What's On Your Lathe"-

@Fred W. Hargis Jr started a multi part discussion on his shop made vacuum chuck. Fred explains how he made the chuck, sources of parts and how it is working so far. Great information and we thank Fred for sharing his journey. Be sure to scroll through the comments and to the next page to see the entire process.

And from "What's Off Your Lathe and Finished"- Celtic Knot rolling pins

We found some turning stuff also posted in the "What's On Your Workbench" forum, too!!

@Rusty S is making a walnut table. He showed us the progress in this post-

For The Newbies-

Tomislav Tomasic discusses some of different tool rests and talks more about sharpening.

Mike Peace has some suggestions on how to improve your turning skills by turning "multiples".

Turning tops would be a great way to practice making multiples. Craft Supplies USA has some tips and ideas-

Tim Yoder talks about lathe speed.

Expand Your Horizons-

Tool storage around the lathe has many adaptations. This solution is pretty neat although the "tool tube" may fill with shavings.

An idea for @Steve Krumanaker, honey comb bottle stopper.

Everything Else-

I had saved a video from Sam Angelo, posted on YouTube. When I tried to add it to this post, this is what came up-
