I do not think price is the problem as I know it is very good value. I expect distance is the main issue. I will give it another week and then remove the ad and try elsewhere.

Brko,

I could only load 10 photos. There is another set of pin and standard jaws (standard jaws are brand new). I have tried to name each photo as to what it is. If you need more I will do another...

smife,
a beautiful piece! I'd be willing to give you some wood if that was what I got in return :D
cheers

I run it wet

had the same issue as my scheppach wheel started diminishing in size. After a reasonable amount of research (and some recommendations from those I respected) I bought a CBN from Jim Carroll (Carrolls...

great job there Bob!
cheers
Mick

doing fantastic!
cheers
Mick

well done Bob. They work a treat but as you know the noise level is high
cheers
Mick

I would not mind if I had a tree with such beautiful timber that needed felling
Mick

totally agree. My shed has less dust than our house! Previously, it was everywhere and not doing me any good
cheers
Mick

smife,

some very nice stuff there. Well worth entering.

cheers

Mick

Ted,

what everyone else said - a very nice bowl (as usual). It is an art you have in making a reasonably simple looking bowl look so good. It is great you keep posting your work - it is...

Ted,

assuming the second photo is the 'new and improved' then I think it is a change for the better

cheers

After finding a couple of forum members with CBN wheels and one who had fitted it to a Scheppach 2500 this is what I went with. Ordered from Jim on Thursday (who answered all my questions promptly),...

Thanks again. I have never tried that method.
cheers
Mick

Jim,
thanks for the above information. I was nearly always using the Scheppach on the fine grit so the Tormek at 1000g seems to offer me an advantage, although I am not really sure how much this is...

Pat,
do you know how these compare to a Scheppach or Tormek wheel? They do look interesting
cheers
Mick

Peter,
thanks for the above. Is the Tormek wheel a lot better than the Scheppach?
cheers
Mick

As I only use my wet grinder for my turning tools I thought this would be the appropriate forum, so a couple of questions:

I have a Scheppach 2500 wet grinder. The stone started at around 250mm...

Christos,
thanks for the above. From my reading of this, at some point you were using the parting tool between the chuck and the bowl (ie: under the bowl) until you got to around 20-25mm. Is that...

Christos,

how did you manage to shape the bottom of the bowl? Any natural edge bowl I do ends up with the chuck shape somewhat incorporated into the bottom.

thanks

Mick

Bob,

if you are in Laurieton NSW.........

I am just around the corner (Bonny Hills) and even travel to Laurieton twice in most weeks. Perhaps more importantly I have 2 x 150mm blast gates that...

Ted,

another great post. I also have a woodcut bowl saver and have not sharpened it at all. Very slack of me but I am now inspired!

Also, what wheel are you using on your grinder?

thanks
...

Ted,

great post. Many of us (especially me) appreciate and benefit greatly from these 'how to' threads. Sometimes I had not even thought of doing it in the first place, let alone how to!!
...

I like them very much!

What was the diameter of the tree as I have some jacaranda? Also, what did you finish them with?

thanks

Mick

woodboy,

I definitely like it and prefer a bowl with so called blemishes on it.

What wood is it and what size? Also, what did you finish it with?

cheers

Mick

smife,

whatever it is, you have done a great job :2tsup:

cheers

Mick

I would have cried
Mick

mobyturns,

that blog is scarey reading but a good eye opener for me as alot of my wood seems to have cracks somewhere along the line.

thanks

Mick

fletty,
much appreciated with the detailed reply. Now I think my lathe is in its permanent position I'll look at bolting the stand to the concrete or at least adding some heavy weight.
cheers
Mick

smife,
there is more than one crack but I tend to leave them as they are. All I now need is the rest of the world to like them this way :D
cheers
Mick

Hi all,

I have lately turned a few reasonable size 'bowls' which are not balanced (see attached camphor laurel platter - wood courtesy of smife (thanks again) which still needs its finish).

thanks. However, I do not ge the reference to summer:?

cheers

Mick

Paul,

thanks for the excellent detailed reply. Some great ideas for me in re-flattening the bottom of warped bowls. In general, I plan to leave them warped but need to have them sit properly so I...

Hi all,

I have not posted for a while but here are a couple of cedar bowls. I scored the cedar when my next door neighbour (who basically does furniture restoration) was horrified when the bloke...

excellent :2tsup:

Mick

great to see a group of forumites giving a helping hand. With all of the good advice that Ted has given he is certainly a worthy recipient.

All I need is someone up my way to teach me how to turn...

I've had one for a couple of years and am very happy with it. From memory, it was the cougar that I also looked at but went with the DVR XP as the head turned and I did not have room to do outboard...

smife,

a real beauty, worthy of a 50th anniversary present. How did you do the black circles as they add a very nice contrast

cheers

Mick

all of the above

Mick

2 hours! Looks like a 2 week job (even if I could make it) for me

cheers

Mick
