For The Newbies-

Have you been itching to try turning a bowl. You've done some research and came across the "twice turned" or "rough turned" bowl. Sam Angelo discusses the procedure in this video.

Mike Peace shows us a fairly simple spindle gift project. Mostly turning along with some neat sanding devices.

New Turning Items-

Not so much new but a comparison of the the different lathe lamps available from Woodturners Wonders.

Kind of a neat device for laying out mortice/tenons on a turning, from the Woodturning Tool Store. I've never really been very good at doing this calipers,

Everything Else-

As mentioned last week, we will be posting ideas for Christmas ornaments. Some of the ornaments will be from our very own pool of talented turners. Our Premier features "Handy Dan". Dan passed away a few months ago. He was a fantastic turner and designer. He always shared his techniques on how he designed/turned his ornament. This s for you, Dan!

Safe turning

Thanks for the post Lew. Always good to remember the hundreds of ornaments and other turnings Dan gave away.
