June 26, 201412 yr comment_1358 A lot of wood working this week but nothing on the lathe. As I mentioned before, the ongoing bathroom project has taken priority. The "Old Jail Pens" project is moving forward. The check arrived so we will be ordering at least 100 pen kits this week and I still need to make another pen presentation box. I found a couple of woodturning blogs, in a link, from one of my Twitter contacts. These are short reads but have some useful information. This one has some stuff about bowl turning- http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/06/bowl-turning/ One on the importance of tool sharpening- http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2014/04/sharpening-woodturning-tools/ And a link to the author of the posts http://www.craftsy.com/blog/author/ed-pretty/ Finally, the latest issue of Shop Notes (Vol/ 23 Issue 136) has an article on lathe chucks. If you are thinking about purchasing one, you might want to check it out! Safe Turning! Report
