A lot happening this week! Our Patriot Turners- New member @Turn n Learn posted a question about chuck jaws and which ones we use. He is lucky enough to own an Easy Wood Tools chuck. Please stop by his post and see if you can add to the advice or members gave- This is his chuck- And a picture of his lathe- Tony introduced himself Please make him feel welcome! We've had a couple of additions on our "What's On" running post. @Gerald and @calabrese55 both added items. See more images and check out how Mike makes his segment calculations starting here- @Fred W. Hargis Jr is making great progress on his coin holder plaques. He posted this picture in the General Woodworking forum- Fred tells us where he is in the build- What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration. For The Newbies- A nice video from Craft Supplies USA on Scrapers. Covers the use, sharpening and some of the myths about scrapers. Expand Your Horizons- Turn Geometric Shape into a box, a hollow form for this months "4 Ways" collaboration. Some really neat ideas! John Lucas has published a new video on turning an end grain bowl. This short video is just a preview. All John's videos are available from https://www.glennlucaswoodturning.com/product-category/guides/ Turning Time With Easy Wood Tools- One of the more recently added products to the Easy Wood Tools line up is their Wire Burning Kit. The set consists of two handles and 3 sets of wires. Both wire ends have colored plastic grommets for quick attachment to the handles. Red grommets signify .016 diameter wire, white grommets are .020 diameter wire and blue grommets are .026 diameter wire. Each gauge wire is available in 3 lengths- 6", 9" or 18". This video from Carl Jacobson demonstrates the burning operation And this shows the product being unboxed and used If you are in any of these locations, during June, check out the live Easy Wood Tools demonstrations and take advantage of the sale prices on all the EWT products- A little shameless self promotion (above right) @Jordan Martindale New Turning Items- A new item from Ron Brown to help with centering a turning blank, on the lathe. Ron calls it a "Centering Genie" A short video of the operation- A bunch of sales on turning tools are currently happening. From Lyle Jamieson- http://lyle@lylejamieson.com From our sponsor Woodcraft- https://enews.woodcraft.com/q/0fOPEbuuaMTfutmbE1_HFhUhY0i90HGE0R4AaZvh1CIRPbWQSj2NQL50r Spiracraft is having a 3 day sale. You may remember that Bradley is closing shop, for a while, due to health reasons. https://spiracraft.com/ From Taylor Tool Works- https://taytools.com/ Everything Else- I'm doing a local club demonstration in August. I thought explaining/showing how the John Beaver wave bowls were made would be an interesting presentation. The process from start to finish can take a couple of days due to glue drying time so I thought I would make several bowls showing the stages of development. Those 7 roughed out spalted sycamore bowls have volunteered. Four have been drying for about 8 days and the other 3 for 5 day. I weigh them every day and look for checks/cracks/splits Only 2 of the bowls have shown excessive cracks. I used CA on them as soon as the cracks appear and that seems to stabilize them. The crack were expected on these 2 due to the branch inclusions/knots. I think they will be fine for the "early stage" of the bowls construction. Safe turning
