Mikes Peace turns a lidded box from Holly New Turning Items- Mike Peace also reviews a new chuck from Record Power. Everything Else- Looking for turning ideas? Ron Brown's latest newsletter may provide some. Turning Wood Is Like An All-You-Can-Eat Buffet There is a seemingly endless variety to choose from. Some you know instantly you want, some quite the opposite. There are others you might want to sample first before digging in. There is something for everyone’s taste in the world of woodturning. General Categories: Dried wood, wet/green wood, branch wood, wood from trees brought down by storms, projects using glued segments, wood suitable for spindles (grain runs parallel to the lathe bed), bowl orientation (grain is perpendicular to the lathe bed), hybrid wood and resin, structural projects (columns, posts, balusters, etc.), furniture parts (legs, stretchers, stool seats, etc.), projects using kits (pens, seam rippers, bottle stoppers, pepper mills, etc.) Within each general category, there are several sub-categories. Most folks never venture beyond 3 or 4; a few will try 5 to 7, then usually return to the category they are most comfortable with and know the most about. Here are a few items for your consideration: Bowls, vases, platters, goblets, pepper mills, candle holders, pens, bottle stoppers, Christmas ornaments, spindles, rolling pins, tool handles, jewelry boxes, decorative eggs, mortar and pestle, egg cups, honey dippers, spurtles, garden dibbers, mushrooms, finials, drawer pulls, bracelets, desk organizers, cake stands, salt cellars, lazy susans, mallets, yo-yos, coasters, napkin rings, birdhouses, chess pieces, plant stands, picture frames, serving spoons, tealight holders, fruit bowls, urns, platters with inlays, sculptures, toys, tea kettles, coffee scoops, trays, jewelry trees, herb grinders, clocks, letter openers, spinning tops, furniture legs, balusters, posts and columns, segmented urns, vases, basket weave illusion plates, vases, and bowls. That should get you started. Safe turning

A friend wanted to "borrow my lathe". No experience, so I thought I could get to know him and give some lessons. He gave me this an example. Now, he thinks maybe it would be easier if I just did it. Familiar? This looks like an ornament made out of a voice print. Pretty cool. Yet, it is so thin. How would I even begin to do this? Any tool I have seems thicker than the spaces here. I wonder if it is even wood.

Beautiful chilly fall weather here in south central PA. Our Patriot Turners- @AndrewB has himself a brand new lathe! He posted his adventure here- Check out the discussion on his post! @Fred W. Hargis Jr asked our members about how they attach a glue block. Fred received some great advice.
