September is slipping away! Although he is not a turner, please send a prayer and well wishes to @Grandpadave52. He is recovering from some surgery. Our Patriot Turners- @Drumone posted a question about lathe height. He is building a stand for a lathe he is restoring. Several of our members offered their suggestions. If you have any additional ideas/tips on building a cart, please check his post. @Gerald was lucky enough to attend this years SWAT event. He put together a video of the projects gallery. Amazing turning talents on display- @Fred W. Hargis Jr posted a video of a scary turning accident. Fortunately the only injury was to the turner's ego. Fred's post got lots of suggestions and great information on catches and how to avoid them. Can't thank you all enough for keeping our "What's ON/OFF Your Lathe" full of new projects! From ON- @Gerald is working on one of @Steve Krumanaker amazing patterns which he burns into his turnings. Catch up on everything from last week- And from OFF- @kreisdorph posted two lovely bowls- flame box elder and cherry! New material starts here- What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to registration and more information- If you missed Cindy Drozda's Tool Talk last week, she has made it available on YouTube- For The Newbies- @Fred W. Hargis Jr's post, above, started a conversation on catches. @Gerald mentioned Tim Yoder's series on catches occurring while using various lathe tools. Here's a link that will take you to the complete series- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgd2j-BTilZshIM5CcMiXNNJ4MnUq9nDB Expand Your Horizons- Last week we posted a video from Mike Peace where he talked about various thread chasing tools. Mike takes the process further by posting videos explaining what species of woods work best for threading and some additional tools useful when chasing threads Kent Weakley demonstrates how to create some pizazz on the foot of a bowl- New Turning Items- Not new but a sale from Niles Bottle Stoppers- Check it out on the Niles web site https://nilesbottlestoppers.com/ Ron Brown's Sphere Jig is shipping- https://longworthchuck.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=77 Everything Else- Got a couple of slabs of Sycamore. It has a little spalting which is soft and punky. Maybe I can salvage it with CA and shellac. Gonna try and make it into a salad bowl. I'm not sure how long it has been laying, but it is surprising dry. I'll rough out the inside tomorrow and put it in the soap and water soak for several days. Safe turning
