Our Christmas project is underway! Please consider making this a special time for a deserving military family! Our Patriot Turners- I think all our turners are out shopping for presents this week! I was gifted some spalted, maple (I think) and was turning a small bowl as a thank you gift. Normally I turn bowls using a mortice to attach to the chuck but went with a tenon this time. Shaped, sanded and discovered the tiger stripes with beautiful chatoyance Then reverse chucked to finish off the bottom using the chuck jaws in expansion mode, making sure to protect the inside from marring and not applying too much outward pressure. Switched the lathe back on and spun it up... BAM!! Never heard a crack or any indication that the blank was stressed when opening thee jaws. No visible cracks. It simply came apart along a spalted line. I think this would have occurred earlier in the turning process if I had been using a mortice. The chuck jaws were probably holding the piece together.

Can you believe it, school is starting this week!!! I don't think I'll miss substituting. Our Patriot Turners- Our sponsors Laguna and Easy Wood Tools are awesome. Both sponsors are doing their part to help our veterans by supporting the "Vets Turn" program. This video, from Laguna Tools, gives us an idea just how much the Vets Turn program means to those participating. You may remember @PostalTom started a chess set for his grandson. Well he has finished all the chess pieces and they look marvelous! Tom tells us about this part of his adventure and what comes next- @RustyFN finished up the lidded box he made for his Mrs. and it is awesome! We showed the "before" picture of the Milliput bands and now we get to see the how it turned out- Lots of great comments from our turners- Rusty is this week's winner for the most turning related posts. He was lucky enough to score these turning accessories, and more, from his local Woodcraft store- Check out the complete list- What’s Coming Up- SWAT is happening this coming weekend. Several turners will be doing live remotes.

Check out the shop made jaws for his scroll chuck- More and more prominent turners are turning (no pun intended) to multiple social media platforms to share their knowledge. No longer is YouTube the only source of information for the isolated turner. Although platforms like Facebook and Instagram are the bane of most of us over the age of 50 (far over, for me), I am finding more and more information available from folks like Cindy Drozda, Lyle Jamieson, Jim Echter etc. If you have a Facebook account, maybe checkout some of your favorite turners. As an example- https://www.facebook.com/732440147/videos/799343681075338 New Turning Items- Maybe something new will show up at SWAT.
