Well, it looks like we made it through another year! Thanks to all who tune in to this little weekly turning post. Hope everyone has a safe and healthy 2026! Our Patriot Turners- We have had several posts from our turners this past week. @Gerald posted a bowl, in "What's Off..." ! He turned this for and AAW event- The embellishments are absolutely magnificent! Check out this post for more images! Another finished turning was also posted. This one is an interpretation of Trent Bosch's "Vessel of Illusion" More can be found here- @RustyFN turned another cherry box. He did the most amazing laser work as part of the embellishments! See his post for more images- Rusty also updated us on a newly acquired gouge. He reshaped the tip for a more efficient turning. Rusty shows the results in this post! A couple of weeks ago, @Rusty S showed us some really neat Christmas ornaments the contained Celtic Knots. Rusty's species orientation really caught my eye. Rusty was so kind as to show us just how he created these gorgeous knots. Thanks for the process pictures!!! What's Coming Up- In this case, what's NOT happening. This is from Lyle Jamison's email- Here's his web site- https://lylejamieson.com/ For The Newbies- Tim Yoder is uploading informative videos to the TikTok social media platform. Theses are generally short and aimed at newer turners. Opinions on TikTok are mixed and not everyone has an account. We will try to post some here to provide another source of turning knowledge.

The link to the article- https://www.woodsmith.com/newsletter/2025/12/22/turn-a-decorative-lidded-box-on-the-lathe/ And the video- @Gerald's embellished bowl led me to the Sorby video on embellishments including the use of their spiraling and texturing tool- Turning Time With Easy Wood Tools- Easy Wood Tools demonstration for next week- https://www.alamowoodturners.org/ From "across the pond" JP Woodwork uses Easy Wood Tools to create another beautiful project! Easy Wood Tools on sale! https://www.woodturningz.com/Easy_Wood_Tools.html https://neureiter-shop.at/en/produkte/drechseln/drechselwerkzeuge/easy-wood-tools/ @Jordan Martindale New Turning Items- Everything Else- Started another Vessel Of Illusion. This one is just slightly larger than the last and has a little different overall shape. Roughed out- Hollowed Profiles The remaining collar is for an attempt to add a more organic opening. It did not work on the previous version. Maybe this time I can approximate Trent's piece but not sure about the squiggly carved lines. Safe turning

I have about 17 or 18 boxes of "vintage" (to use an auctioneer's term) woodworking magazines, including a whole set of #1-243 (and probably more if I sorted them) plus a number of years of sequential and scattered earlier ones of FWW. They are too valuable, I believe, to just scrap them and probably time (according to the Mrs.) to get rid of them. I see them selling on eBay by sets of 1-20 or so, but have no idea if they actually get sold that way. Nor do I want a part time job selling and running to the post office every couple of days for onsie-twosies. There's way to much volume and weight to ship out (the 243 set occupies about 5 full boxes) The Cinci Library would probably take them, but just sell at their annual "garage book sale." The more local library does not seem to have any archives like that. Every time I go there, there's a couple of carts of books being downsized for $1 a bag. Any thoughts on a quick and easy way to sell them? I've enquired at a local online auction and waiting to hear back if they are interested.

This past week my local woodworker’s guild had the opportunity to visit Woodsmith magazine and Wood magazine studies, both in Des Moines, IA. At Woodsmith, our host was Logan Wittmer, assoc. editor. Phil Huber, multimedia editor, also spent much time with us when we toured their video studio. While we were at the Wood magazine facilities, we were hosted by Sr. Editor, David Campbell. We were able to see their video and photo studios, product work shops along with many of the past and future edition projects. The day ended with a visit to the Des Moines Woodsmith store. This store is large and has many tools on display along with having large lumber and finishes departments.

This week's Woodsmith's e-Tips has a pretty cool and resourceful idea IMO for a "poor man's" panel saw or an occasional user anyways. Of course the caveat is you do need a garage door. I usually select the Printer Friendly Version function, then Save As a PDF Woodsmith e-Tip Panel Saw
