Although his project was posted in the Patriot Woodcarving Forum, I wanted to share @FrederickH's latest work- it does have some turning involved. Ricks use of leafing is amazing! Check this link for more images and while you are there, go back and read about the entire project. Leafing is an awesome way to embellish turnings! What's Coming Up- Click on the image for the link to registration and more information For The Newbies- A sharpening tip from Tim Yoder One of the best species of wood to turn is FREE WOOD! Unfortunately, the opportunity to obtain this species doesn't always coordinate with your turning schedule. Being able to keep the wood from cracking/splitting until you are ready to use it is important. This video, posted by Popular Woodworking, demonstrates how to seal the ends of the pieces.- Looking for a project to boost your spindle and hollowing skills? Richard Raffan's scoops might be something that will help. They also make great presents! Expand Your Horizons- I thought about @Steve Krumanaker when I saw this video from Mike Peace. Steve turns miniature birdhouses as Christmas ornaments for presents. Mike turns a way to feed all those miniature birdies! How about combining some woodworking and woodturning in the same project? This tutorial is from Popular Woodworking https://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/shaker-side-table/ The table is similar to one "Norm" made on the New Yankee Workshop. He called it a Martha Washington Candle Table. His had a tilt top. I made one for my "Mrs. Washington" but she hated it- gave it to friends.

I built the Media Stand and posted it here along with an in depth, full length video of the build (53 minutes). The part that interested most folks is the section on making the books for the bottom shelf and I've been asked to make a separate video on just that portion, so this video is really a freshly made subset of that video with additional footage. This video is only about 12 minutes long and since I have virtually no voice right now there is no voiceover, just typed descriptions on the screen.
