Sometime back, I remember reading about a turning club that made wig stands for donations to the Cancer Society. Richard Raffan shows how to turn one. He called his a "judicial" but the general shape should work for most applications. Turning Time With Easy Wood Tools- Easy Wood Tools is looking for more demonstrators!

As the rotary axis jobs don't move the X axis I thought I'd cut a handle for a parting tool I bought. Glued up a 1.5" x 1.5" x 7.5" block to use. First cut the block into a cylinder, Sorry no photo. Cut the end for the ferrule as a pocket cut first. Cut deeper than it should of, but I'll wrap it in tape to the ferrule will fit. Next proceeded with a moulding toolpath. Just over the hump so far: Then approaching the end on the CNC: Once finished: I took it out to my garage lathe to sand and trim off the end. Still needs a 1/2" diameter hole in the end for the tool. Then some finish: Other than the ferrule end being smaller than I expected and needing a fix, the handle will do the intended job. 4D

I recently had a chance to play with some beading tools, something I'd never really used before. However, they weren't mine to keep. After returning them I found that I missed what they could do. So, I invested in a 3/16", and a 1/8" beading tool from D-way tools. I like wooden handles so I purchased them un-handled. When I received the tools it occurred to me the cutting edge could be easily damaged. Knowing they are not a tool that will get daily use I needed a way to protect them from getting knocked to the floor or dinged up if in a drawer. I also do a club demo now and then so how to protect them when transporting? I had an idea to make a self storing, reusable handle and this is the result. Not real pretty but I think it will work well. It's a take off from my collet handle video with the handle drilled out to accept more of the shaft. This is with the tool in cutting position. This is with the cutting edge stored in the handle. The fittings are less than ten bucks at my local hardware. I used a 3/8" compression by 1/4" FIP straight and a 1/4" FIP close nipple.

Just realized that yesterday was 55 years ago that I was discharged from the Navy. Left Treasure Island and took a 3 day train ride across this beautiful country. That was the year of the airline strike and there were no commercial flights anywhere. Our Patriot Turners- @AndrewB has been busy casting and turning resin. He showed us his cast blanks and they turned out perfect- Andrew describes the process in this post- From this casting he is turning a "dragon's egg"- More about the process in this post- @smitty10101 would like to do some "inside-out" turnings and asked our gang for some help. He has received several suggestions. If you do these types of turning, please hop over to Smitty's post and chime in- @HandyDan is always making such neat projects for his family. He posted these turnings- Our turners gave him lots of praise for making these! Check out Dan's post at- @forty_caliber has been busy in his workshop! In last Friday's "What's on your weekend agenda", he posted three projects he has in the works. The first is a jam chuck- Next is a bowl made from pecan. Some really beautiful grain in this one- A little more here- And, a handle for one of his turning tools- @Fred W. Hargis Jr Asked our turners for input on turning a pepper mill. Several of our members have turned them and were willing to give him some help. If you have any tips that can make Fred's first attempt any easier, please check out this thread- What’s Coming Up- The AAW reminds us of future events- More information at this link- https://www.woodturner.org/Woodturner/Events/AAW Virtual Events/Woodturner/Virtual-Events/Master-Series-Landing-Page.aspx?_zs=ceDib&_zl=guGi2 Craft Supplies USA has training workshops- More here- https://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/205/7317/Workshop-Woodturning-201-with-Stan-Record-August-18-20-2021-(Deposit-Only)?utm_source=csusa&utm_medium=email&utm_content=record&utm_campaign=21-08-workshops Don't forget that S.W.A.T. is live this year- For registration- https://www.swaturners.org/swat-registration-2021.html For The Newbies- Here's a nice little project to add some piazzas to your desk. Mike Peace turns a cable grommet- Not everyone has this tool in their arsenal but it can create some interesting effects. Carl Jacobson turns a beaded bowl using a beading tool- Expand Your Horizons- How do you finish your turnings? Do you like no gloss, some gloss or maximum gloss? For maximum gloss and wear, some turners prefer a CA glue finish. Here's a video from Darryl Jones showing how he uses CA and obtains some spectacular results. New Turning Items- Not so much new, but some sale prices from Woodturners Wonders in conjunction with S.W.A.T. Check their site for prices and more goodies- https://woodturnerswonders.com/ Everything Else- Rick Turns list of YouTube woodturning videos from last week- I mentioned that I had ordered some sanding/finishing products. They arrived yesterday and I had the opportunity to briefly try them. I need to do some experimenting with topcoats other than wax to see how they adhere. From what I've read, most any finish can be applied over the Yorkshire grit. That seems to fly in the face of convention as the sanding paste contains mineral oil and beeswax. I got a can of each Here is Mike Waldt's take on the product Safe turning and stay well

Hey folks! I'm a new turner. Just been making shavings trying to learn the tools but I think I'm ready for my first project. I need some tool handles for some carbide turning tools I picked up. I have quite a bit of sassafrass just lying around so I think that would make some good handles. I'll be posting pics (of course) and I'm open to any and all critiques, tips and general advise. The pieces are about 8", 9" and 10" long by about 2.5" in diameter. My first step will be to shape the handles, then I need to find something to use as ferrules before attempting to mount the tools. Thanks for putting up with "the new guy".
