Maybe Sugru

There’s some stuff that works with UV light 

I'm almost certain I posted about this fire extinguisher at some point. It may have been in the General Woodworking Forum or the Woodturners Forum. Made a quick search but didn't find it.

In any case, PLEASE check out out this recall from CPSC-

Our Patriot Turners-

@Smallpatch was hitting the yard sale circuit when he spied an old lathe. Not one to pass up a bargain, he took it home a refurbished it. 

Check out his post for more images and the back story-

New member @User74 posted a question about carbide tools. We had a very informative discussion about the quality of tools and cutters. Check out the post and see if you can add to it-

@Steve Krumanaker created a beautiful Beads of Courage box. Steve used a special technique to create the staves for his turning project.

Head on over to his post for more images and our members' comments

A tip, from Lyle Jamieson, for holding small turnings without a chuck-

Expand Your Horizons-

New Turning Items-

Got a heads-up from @Grandpadave52 about a great price on a Longworth chuck sale.

Everything Else-

Safe turning

Looks awesome there!

What @Grandpadave52 said 

Square in to square ft need to divide by 12 swim/144= .083 sqft

I think you need to convert the area of the hose to sqft before multiplying

That’s a great idea!!

I have a friend who belongs to this club- https://www.masondixonwoodworkers.org/toy-shop

They do a similar thing. Maybe some ideas at their website. 
 

I have plans for a doll cradle if you need it. 

They haven't started here, yet, but it won't be long. 

That is pretty!!

Something like this might work for the timer-
