Hi Crocy,here is a pic of the huntertool .its a #1 RH 3/16 x 3/16, number ht1316s. cuts like a bugger, i try to use it only when needed, i usually waste as much stuff i can with an oland tool that...

i bought a Hunter tool, and decided to make some handles and holders for it. i had 1/2" square steel laying around and some lovely scraps of birdseye maple and walnut and thought i would try...

the wife and i were down in oz in april, visited Henry in Sydney, Ian in Townsville, and had a great time. Henry gave me a piece of huon pine and i turned this platter with a lead filled black walnut...

Camo,I recently stumbled upon a site called Delcampe, and it seemed to have a nice catalog on danckaert, of course sold, but it looked nice.Do you know anything about them? Right about now I just...

I like them, are they designed for looks or is there a witch catching thing about them? I saw something similar in Norway and my buddy said it goes back years, kind of a spikey finial in the ends of...

Thankyou sir.I think the mortiser is very close to mine, and there is a stub as you can see where the counterweighted arm would have gone. WOuld this have added mechanical advantage, do you think?...

Oh you mean like -45C to + 35C and conditions from drought to really wet. That would be the prairie. And temps from -40C to melting in 24 hours,that would also be the prairie. Its a weed and you know...

No, I have found with this wood, if you can get it off the lathe, get it sprayed, and let it go, it seems not to crack, sometimes the burl areas will go all lumpy like distressed leather. I like what...

a bowl for my sister, who was bugging me because "you never have made me anything" . I warped like mad as I was turning it wet,so the I had to sand the bottom flat, so you are not going to see that,...

To...

I managed to get this bandsaw this past winter, with a bunch of other tools as well, they might show up here sometime. Henry stopped in to see me the other day and we had a good chat, and so I...

Really like the push stick, and the second circle cutter is slick. Now to figure out a way to do it without the pin.

Thanks for comments , I want to comment on the hole in the bottom . It is an indent so i could mount it between centers, using a cone. I had "what you call, painted myself into a bit of a corner" and...

When I first saw the piece of wood it looked like an old cedar fence post which were quite common out here on the prairies of western Canada. You still see them occasionally with a new post still...

I use a Helmet with built in ear protection and face screen,sold by Husqvarna. Its designed for chainsaw work. Im always wearing a mask and hearing protection anyway and the tip up face shield works...

A wine goblet done for a challenge, in quilted soft maple. Done with spindle gouge and a scraper, there were some soft spots that just did not want to cut, or sand either. A bunch of coats of spray...

Really like that,great idea. We don't have nuts like that around here but maybe something else would do. Love it, thanks for sharing.

Actually,it is a Magma Black Line TITAN 400.Rather than post some pics just google that and see the monster. A buddy and me made up an extension to the bed ,its roughly the same size as the one from...

A Canadian invention by the way, amazing to see some guys still using slotted screws and the amount of crappy screws you get with most hardware these days. I grew up with this type of screw and they...

Hello Christos, I didnt lock the c clamps at all. The blocks they were clamped on to were glued with Titebond 2 and screwed, and clamps were nice and tight. All the levers on the clamps were in the...

Hi Willy, yes if you look on the right side of the blank at all times there are 4 C clamps that I used to balance this thing. Worked well, just dont get in the way! I was turning at about 250 to 300...

I played baseball for about 10 years, I could catch and throw and run like a damn , but not a very good hitter. On another challenge I decided to turn a bat that perhaps would describe my career....
