  1. We have started our annual site fund raiser. There are some fantastic prizes to be had for the lucky winners. If you like this site, consider donating to the operating costs! Also, don't forget this coming Sunday is Mother's Day. We can't forget our Moms. Our Patriot Turners- It has been a slow week here on the Woodturner's Forum, so we will jump ahead to What's Coming Up What’s Coming Up- Click on the above image for more information. Looking for some inspiration, ideas or conversations on turning? Check out the World Wide Turners web site. Lots of great turners there- https://worldwidewoodturners.org/ For The Newbies- Last week we posted a video from Record Power on lathe maintenance. Here is the second part- Highland Woodworking published a nicely illustrated article on using the fingernail gouge, by Temple Blackwood- The article can be read here- https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/woodturning/woodturning-with-a-small-fingernail-gouge.html?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Read+the+May+2021+Issue+of+Wood+News+Online&utm_campaign=May+2021+Wood+News&vgo_ee=SSZUGqILrYqLrMaaxASZAzpxdzkQNl9LgdxZ9pnzLRY%3D Expand Your Horizons- Jim Rodgers has a very nice series on turning miniature articles. This is Part 1 and the others are referenced on his YouTube channel- I've been making Celtic Knot rolling pins for a long time. Although the wood I use matches the pepper mills and salt cellars I make, I always wished there was a way to duplicate the knot in those items. Thanks to Alan Stratton, I think this might be the answer- Our sponsor, Laguna, linked this video on social media. Turning a coffee spoon. It incorporates multiple media and some cool jigs. New Turning Items- We mentioned these wooden threads before. Here's a short video, From Ron Brown, showing the steps to using them on a pet urn. Turner Carl Jacobson has quite a large following on social media. He recently posted a video answering questions about his favorite tools. The last tool he mentioned is a pneumatic sander. Here's the video- And the link to the sander he mentions- https://www.woodworkingshop.com/product/WK45950/ Also, check out his comments about that awesome Easy Wood Chuck The folks at Woodturners Wonders have a new product to help fill those cracks and splits in your turning. It can also be used for decorating and embellishments- Check it out at- https://woodturnerswonders.com/collections/featured-products/products/wonder-putty-two-part-sculpting-epoxy Everything Else- Rick Turns list of woodturning YouTube videos from last week- Safe Turning and stay well aaa
  2. Well I was at work today getting together the tools for our Easy Wood Tools Loan and Review project. We will be shipping this case of tools out to our members to use for two weeks before they forward them on to the next user, each user will be asked to post a review here on The Patriot Woodworker. I worked on a used aluminum case today that I procurred to install the tools into. The case will then be shipped out to our first tester and reviewer Lew Kauffman, and after he is finished he'll ship them up the line to the next woodworker. The program will be in effect shortly, we still have a few more logistics to get down, but in a nutshell, this will cost the user nothing. All shipping fees are paid to and from the user. All you have to do is just use them! The following images are the Easy Wood Tools on loan to our members and guests by Craig and Paul Jackson of Easy Wood Tools, I still have to cut out the foam to fit the tools, but they are laid in place how they will ship, and there is plenty of literature and videos on disk for you guys to watch and read too. This is going to be fun and exciting. Each user will be able to grab an Easy Wood Tool pencil and EWT cool looking sticker to put on the rear window of your pickup truck! Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to getting these wonderful tools in your hands! Final set of tools as shipped
  3. The Easy Wood Tool package arrived and over the next couple of weeks, I will share with you my impressions and experiences with these amazing tools. The very first thing I noticed was the weight of the case in which the tools were shipped. Even before opening, it was apparent these were no lightweights! I’ll concentrate on the Easy Chuck this week. This is my first experience with a quick release jaw chuck. I must admit, I thought that quick release jaws would be something of a luxury and not really necessary. I changed my mind in a hurry! The overall fit and finish of the chuck is impressive. This monster weighed in just north of 4.5 pounds and that’s without jaws! The quality is evident from the get-go. I really like the “zoom†ring and its ability to quickly reposition the jaws without the needing to use the chuck key. The ring turns smoothly with practically no effort. Jaw changes are made via a spring loaded quick release mechanism. Simply inserting the release tool into the chuck release port allows the jaws to be detached. Replacing the jaws requires no tools, they simply snap into place. I found the jaws locked securely with no slippage. Once a work piece is positioned and the jaws snugged down with the zoom ring, a hex key tool is used to securely tighten the jaws. There are two hex key tightening locations 180 degrees apart to create balanced pressure. A really nice touch is that all of the adjustment directions are engraved into the chuck. Easy Wood Tools has a wide variety of chuck jaws available and included most of them in the loaner package. If I could make any design changes, they would be engraving a reference mark on the chuck body and engraving numbers on each chuck jaw. This would ensure reassembly in exactly the same orientation. But, hey, a good old Magic Marker can do the same thing- if these were mine. Edit: As pointed out by Craig (see below), I should have mentioned that any jaw will fit into any of the slots so numbering isn't necessary for correct assembly and use. My comments were more for assuring that, when remounting a workpiece, everything is positioned exactly as it was in a previous operation. To help get a better idea of the chuck/jaw system, I videoed the operation which I hope helps enhance the previous explanation. Next time I’ll show you how I am using the different jaws and tools to create a project. A BIG Thank You to Easy Wood Tools for this opportunity!!!!!!!!!!
