Lots of stuff this week! Our Patriot Turners- @calabrese55 posted a concept for modifying a set of calipers- See his post for what he proposes and additional information. @Gerald posted information concerning Teknatool USA Bankruptcy filings. Lots of folks use their products. Guess we will have to wait to see how this shakes out. @Fred W. Hargis Jr added a comment to the end of last weeks "Wednesday". Fred said that even though he has watched a lot of turning videos, he is still having trouble with tool presentation to the work. I did some searches on the topic and found several videos that might help him, and others having the same difficulties. For bowl gouges, this one has really great closeups- These are from noted turners, however, they are from live demonstrations. There are not a lot of closeup images- This link is to free Stuart Batty videos and other information that may be helpful- https://stuartbattytools.com/free-videos-and-articles What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration- For The Newbies- If you are new to carbide tools, Easy Wood Tools has posted a nice videos demonstrating the making of a little LED candle holder. There are lots of opinions about whether the tenon or mortice is the best option when holding work on the lathe. Stuart Batty explains pros and cons in these 2 videos- Expand Your Horizons- It is just after the first of the month and the "4 Ways" collaboration continues. Threads are this month's challenge. Thanks to Tomislav Tomasic, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan and Sam Angelo for posting their turnings. Mimi puts decorations in our front window for every season/holiday. If your Mrs. does the same, she might appreciate this for March 17- New Turning Items- Many of our turners use casting resins for different applications. This information came in an email from Alumilite The email linked 3 turners who pretty much specialize in each one of the 3 types of resin. If you have access to Instagram, you should be able to see example of their work. Click on the images for links to their Instagram accounts Jake Thompson- Clear Slow. Michael W Kusmierz – Amazing Deep Pour Troy Shipley – Alumilite Clear Not new but Woodcraft is having a sale on turning kits. Specials and closeouts! Click the image for the link to the sale age. Everything Else- Picture of the Easy Wood Tools demo in Harrisburg, PA last Saturday- Had a great time! They set us up right inside the front door. Lots of interest! The one for March had to be cancelled due to scheduling conflicts @Jordan Martindale. Safe turning

I just called Teknatool for the first time today. I am looking for parts for a Nova Brand Lathe (1624). I was sent to Customer Service message line and was told I would be called back within 48 hours. Is this crazy? I've been in Customer Service for 30+ years and have never, ever received this type of service. This in my opinion is ridiculous! 48 hour wait just to talk to somebody? They don't even know what my problem is yet. Is it just me? What is your experience with this company and the service they provide? Please note... this is for me personally, and has nothing to do with Easy Wood Tools.
