Mpot, while you’re there…can you tell me how to insert SOLD in red capitals in the title of the thread? Thanks if you can help

Queensland maple boards wanted for table top. Min 1200mm long, 25 to 35mm thick. SEQ area. Cheers

You're flattering me mate, a lot more than that passes me by without me noticing.

I'd probably prefer to replace the motor with a 2hp rather than rewind, but wouldn't it be hard to find something...

Bob, I wouldn't even know where to look for the coils or what they were if I saw them. And I don't have anything to measure Ohm resistance. Point taken about the size of the motor, it does have a...

So this old linisher goes well most of the time, but cuts out (or rather throws the safety switch at the power board) when the motor gets too warm - I wouldn't call it hot. After about 15 minutes...

How did you go?

That's a god bowl. Collecting your own wood and making something from it is the best way to get in to woodworking, good to see someone doing it.

I'd say the wood is poinciana (from your...

Great looking chair, congratulations. Lot of work there. Good weaving too.

Jacaranda should be fine. Avoid the centre of the branch (pith).

Pagie, I've been doing similar with saplings of various trees, including soap tree/red ash (pictured). But using smaller sections as you can see. Considering doing the same with black wattle (not...

Love it. Idea and execution

No I don't have a photo

The tree is on a block of land next door to a friend of mine. Removal (chipping and trashing) is already organised. The 3m long main trunk section (which looks sound and knot free and and is actually...

Give away.

Includes a straight section of trunk 3m long by 60cm diameter. Probably the only piece worth milling. Located in Chelmer. Large section already on ground.

Really like the concept.

I like the white colour, but would not want to see paint concealing everything. Contradicts the organic feel of the pieces.

I think this is the best suggestion you have...

Nice work Andy.

Does the protruding piece above the head and the carving on it add meaning, or is it aesthetic?

I'll keep you posted. I suspect my 100mm diameter sapling offcut will be a lot less volatile than the beast you tackled on your link

Because it's red ash, or whatever the species?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Happy with this raw and rustic look achieved with the scraper shown. Yes, I confess the gouge must have contacted the wood before the toolrest. But I am a curioius...

Now I have two:(

Yes I'm aiming for 5mm to 1cm

I have jaws that make life easier (see photo first post) but take your point about face plate mounting.

Regarding cutting direction...I agree that from inside out...

Thanks for that, some new info for me.

Don't have an oland tool but do have several good scrapers so will use those to finish. Do have a bowl gouge!

Thinking a rounded bottom might reduce some...

I'm planning on having a go at turning hollow forms (boxes, with lids) from 100 to 150mm long and appx 100 diameter sections of young red ash/coopers wood. These are from saplings about 5 to 10 years...

This could be a problem for you Jeremy, as a week or so is a minimum with tung oil.

Apart from that, I like the choice of tung oil. Bar tops in pubs are usually offensively shiny, while tung oil...

Looks good

Australian red cedar

This style of carving looks more suitable, given the wood and the carver's minimal skills and tools

Bowl is to be appx 30mm deep by the way

Bit confused by all this but I think I see where you are coming from. Thanks for the tips.

The photos incidentally come from English cabinetmaker Alan Peters' 1984 book, which also shows this...

Fantastic clear directions, just what I was hoping for, thank you very much.
