sex (no jokes, please) read this BB....:p

When I started turning, I did a lot of research
since I wanted to buy quality tools. I ended up buying Hamlet ASP2030.

Here are some comments from the Craft Supplies (USA) catalog on steel...

I like your style!!

Thanks again, Phil. Lots of useful info for
me to try...

Well, I guess since we have "borrowed" this
little part of the BB, probably should return
it to the "others"..... :p

Talk to you...

Phil: Thanks for all the info. I have the Vari-Grind attachment and
do use it on all my gouges. My "main" gouge (1/2") is the
"fingertip"grind.. sounds like the Irish grind except not nearly...

Thanks, Phil. I pretty much agree with all your comments
on thin/thick, etc.

I got the small Kelton hollowing set and have been using it
a little. I think the hollowing is just "muscling"...

Hi Phil: Well you remembered my DVR.... I love it!!!! Best
turning money I ever spent!

At the present time, I have gotten into segmented turning.

It is lots of fun and so many ways to...

Sir Chiz: As a fellow "Yank", your work is
beautiful....

My house is in a "regular" neighborhood, but on a
corner. So that probably helps the noise
complaints a little....

My contr saw is in my "used to be" dining room.
So that probably helps a...

John: I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for the info.

Phyllis:D

John: What a great idea for the compressor. I purchased one a
while ago with my nail gun, but it has been stored under the
"shelf" since I don't use gun too often. The brand I have is a
Porter...

Toasty: Again, WOW! What a beautiful bowl. I love to see
other turners work. Is very inspiring and wants to make me
go back to my lathe, IMMEDIATELY!

As to the EEE, I thought I would not be...

Thanks, guys! Learned some stuff I hadn't even asked about....

(as usual):D


Oh, well, back to that beautiful lathe.... (did I mention that I have a Nova 3000 DVR?) It's swell!! :p

Stopper: It sounds like coolibah is very hard? Anything like ironwood?

Phyllis

Went home last nite, sharpened my bowl gouge, chucked up a blank of walnut and had the greatest
time just turning.... the walnut is not really, really wet, just kind of "damp".... and I
revved...

:D Neil, Johnno, Stopper: Thanks for confirming some of my thoughts on the general issues of turning. I love your collective enthusiasm, it just spills over and in this case, I am the lucky...

Hi all:

I have been woodturning for about a year now and
over the time, some questions have come up. I know I will get good answers from this BB (butter-up enough???):D

How do you approach...

That is great!

If you can't manage to "get rid" of the last
jar, I will take that, too!

Need any info from me?

Cheers, Phyllis ;)

Neil: If you have any left, I would love to
have two jars (or one even)...

Phyllis:D

Kev:

I'll just say "Ditto"

Phyllis

Okay, Tim...... BE that way!

Merry Christmas anyway... http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif

Thanks, Tim. Very helpful explanation.

Now..... what happens to the rest of the apple?? http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif

And Merry Christmas to you.

Cheers, Phyllis

Thanks, Neil!!

I have wanted this information for a long
time and you have thereby answered all of
my "polish" questions. http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif


....and thanks Darryl, for...

Hey Tim: When I actually make one of those
SEGMENTED things that I think would qualify
in your eyes as NOT AWFUL, I might actually
send you a picture...
You are a tough critic, so it may be a ...

Mn2tx, Red neck, Phil, Tim, GC:

I knew I would get a really good answer from you and the consensus of "freehand" with circle markers, wins the day! http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif

I am...

I know there is a way to cut turning blanks
round on a bandsaw by drilling hole in "center" of future blank, placing it on dowel that has been embedded in some sort of flat base. I can't picture...

Darryl: I maybe have taken the "easy" way out, but I, too have the Vicmarc 120. I purchased the "Adjusta-Jaws" for finishing the backs of bowls, inside of lids, and
platters. They attach to your...

George: Thanks for the info. I have made
application to join your BB.

Iain: Oh, gosh, pretty funny.... http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/smile.gif

I am baaaaaarely chuckling, even now...

Cheers, Phyllis

Kev:

I would like to apply to be a "co-gloater"...
I too have a new DVR. Only a couple of
weeks old. It is the best "tool" money I
have ever spent.

I KNOW you will have a great time with...

Tim: That better be a BIG collection....
you don't expect me to feed these guys, too, do you??? http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif

By the way, the first jar of "cream" I got turned out to...

I am not sure what catalogs you see down under, but the Woodcraft (USA) catalog has a template that attaches to the bottom of your router, steel pin, etc. It is really a small trammel and makes...

Gosh, I wish I had known sooner..........

That's right.... make me feel bad....

My FAV product. I suppose it's too much to
ask you to show up at the wood show in Orange
County, California on Nov. 8-9-10 with your Shellawax in...

Gosh, I didn't think it showed...... http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif

I have taken a segmented bowl class at local
college and am having a great time. These
are really time consuming, but very interesting and beautiful.
And a great use for my giant pile of...

I have to agree with B (that stands for Barbara)! I haven't read so funny and interesting post in a long time! http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/biggrin.gif
