    Fair

    Have a fair July 3, 4 and 5. Been busy. Here are a couple of things in the finish stage. Everything else is priced and packed. Ad yes the honey dippers are sanded and smooth now.
  2. ONE DAY LEEFT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our Patriot Turners- @Gerald started a new topic for our turners! I hope we can make this one as popular as the one @RustyFN started for showing what's on our lathes! So far we've had two members add items. Let's make this topic sail to the "Most Posts" list! Our other continuing topic of "What's On Your Lathe" also had activity! @RustyFN and @forty_caliber both added some of what they are working on! Check out this post for more images! @forty_caliber also posted a nice little "catch-all" bowl. I think these bowls are so useful. Not too large to take up a lot of space but large enough to hold most small items. Great for pocket dumps! See more images here- What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration Well, it happened last week, but if you missed it, Cindy has posted the video- For The Newbies- How fast should I turn is a question we often hear. There really isn't a hard and fast rule. Ron Brown has some thoughts in this video "short"- Mortice or tenon to attach the bowl to the lathe. Ask 10 woodturners and you'll probably get at least 15 different answers. My personal choice in a recess and use it to incorporate the foot. Here's what Kent Weakley thinks about it- Of course, if you don't have a chuck, there are other ways to attach a bowl blank to the lathe. Sam Angelo shares his thoughts on some methods of securing that blank- Expand Your Horizons- It's just past the first of the month and the videos from "4 Ways" is available. This month Richard Raffan, Tomislav Tomasic, Sam Angelo and Mike peace each turn their version of a natural edge bowl. Tim Yoder turns a beautiful Flame Elder platter. He eve uses some of his Easy Wood Tools in the process! It is not too soon to start thinking about making Christmas ornaments. Alan Stratton creates one that is out of this world! Craft Supplies USA has an idea for something that the ladies in your life might enjoy- New Turning Items- Ron Brown has a new Ladle Chuck System- Safe turning
  3. Hadn't posted anything for a while so here's the latest from the shop. I have been experimenting with tree slices on the Ringmaster and have been pleasantly surprised by the results so far. I didn't have any slices large enough to make a decent size bowl so I improvised, adapted and overcomed. Or something like that. The mesquite was three 6" diameter slices that got cut into 120* wedges. Quite a few cracks so there's quite a bit of epoxy filling. The other two came from a branch cut down by a neighbor from his large, dead ash tree. The branch was about 4" in diameter and just at the very limit of my miter saw. The small bowl was four slices and the larger one was nine slices. I'll even attach pics of the original blanks for those enquiring minds... And a couple of teak and walnut trivets that were SUPPOSED to be bowls but the glue-up went astray. Thanx for looking.

    Left overs

    Spent my shop time yesterday doing very small projects , sanding bottoms of bowls, cleaning up some gifted wood, putting tools away, weighing the sweet gum I just put in the kiln. Had a bowl with some tear out on bottom rings. Very difficult to sand so tried riffler files and that did pretty good to the point it looked like sanding scratches easily removed with 220. Would have never thought that as a solution. Still lots of small things to pickup but I did get those cutoffs hauled to firewood pile. It never ceases to amaze at the things I put off until it just looks like normal shop clutter when it is really unfinished projects. Now it is your turn to tell about all those projects you have unfinished. Oh and I did not tell all about the vase with a crack to be laced, the box from a club demo to finish and raffle off, the box lid with spiral cut but no bottom. MMMM maybe another shop cleanup day soon.

    Emblem

    I finally got my laser working. It mounts into the router on my cnc and the cnc controls the laser. I made these to cut out and glue into the mortise on my bowls. I will probably change it and add to it.

    Experimenting with Protocols

    So Gerald you inspired me to start embellishing the bottom of my turnings. It occurred to me that the Shaper Origin had potential to make it easy. Before glue up I routed a circle into the bottom piece to exactly match the diameter of the faceplate. After the piece is finished I cut a disc that exactly matches the depression I routed for the faceplate, add whatever engraving I want onto the disc and then glue it into the circular depression. The first one I wasn’t ready to get involved in the design of the engraving and I just added my name. Now that I know it works I will try to design a logo or something fancier. Paul

    refinishing cedar chest

    Ugh, another project courtesy of my daughter's mother-in-law. When they moved, she gave my daughter an old cedar chest. It has been a project! MIL is famous for giving them something that I have to finish up. First problem is that the front legs (turned) were about half gone due to dog chews. Well, I don't turn, so I broke them apart, stripped the frou-frou, and made tapered legs and plan to move the legs that are in reasonable condition to the front, and the tapered ones to the back. Then on to stripping and cleaning the carcase. Next issue is the top has more frou-frou, a scrolled piece on each end and turnings all the way across the back. It was hard to strip it and get much of it off, due to the frou-frou and tight clearances. So I removed it and then can get under the scroll work and joints. Then on to scraping and sanding the concave profiled edge trim. Spent all afternoon today cleaning up and sanding just the back piece. I finally, after several hours, found that the turned pieces were just a bit loose in the ends. So I took them apart. Then I sawed off the turned parts from the squarish center. Put them on the Shopsmith in lathe mode and sanded like a turner. I'll have to drill out and add some dowels to rejoin. But at least the sanding went faster and I could get into all the little concave areas. Next will be the base cabinet. I wish it would be easier, but there are two large C-shaped scrollworks, and a raised panel of burl veneer. And base molding all around. More fussy frou-frou cleanup. All the panels are walnut veneer and all the frou-frou is poplar. Another challenge down the road in the finishing stage. Let's just say, it was way easier for the factory to spray on some finish and toner than it is to get it all off. I do hope daughter appreciates it. I wish I'd taken "as is" pictures. Here's some in-progress.

    It Had to Happen

    I've been rolling along pretty good with spindles for Shaker stools, feeling pretty good about myself, feeling a little cocky actually. Then the powers that be will always smack ya down, just to remind you. I got a little aggressive and she dug in. got lucky with this one, it just kind of fell to the floor without fanfare or violence.
  10. the Photo Galleries alone are more than well worth the look...

    it's new to me... Greater Vancouver Woodturner's Guild the Photo Galleries are more than well worth the look... I hope this list grows...
  12. Sometimes it really pays off to having so many good friends "in the business". I've been involved in the woodworking industry and have made many life-long friends over the past 35 years. Woodworkers for the most part are friendly and generous types in my experience. So I've been sitting on a piece of spalted maple for a very, very long time, waiting for the right project. We just introduced negative rake carbide cutters to our line here at EWT. I've honestly not been a big fan of turning resins / acrylics / man-made materials, always much preferred turning wood. When we tested these NR cutters I was very surprised what a difference they make in turning this man-made "stuff". So I finally found a great use for this piece of maple! I sent it off to my friend Heath Knuckles, and he transformed this piece of wood into some very cool hybrid blanks. If you are not familiar with Heath and his work, here is a link to one of his projects: So Heath took my piece of maple... and sent these back to me.... Now I just have to wait for my lathe to come back from a trade show to spin a few of these!
