Our Patriot Turners- @Gerald has been turning more than his favorite Georgia Pecan! Check out what this piece is going to be! @RustyFN received his new double ended bowl gouge! Rusty provided a source in his post- Rusty also gave us a heads-up on a great looking air filtration system from Rikon. Our members liked what they saw and added information on what they were using. Why not share your setup! Thanks, Rusty! @smitty10101 asked a question about turning a specific pattern as an access ring for a segmented turning. We had some detailed responses from our segment specialist. Check out Smitty's post and see if you can provide additional information- We had additions to our "What's OFF" the lathe as well as questions on natural edge bowls.
