    Trim Router Table *Found new home*

    Small router table for a trim router. Got it and never used it, ended up getting a larger router table. Hoping someone here can use it. No charge, just take it. Faceplate is for a Makita router. Barnardsville area

    Not quite a new woodworker in Marshall, NC

    Sounds good, sir. Not sure how much of a 'wood worker' I am, but I do turnings, some charcuterie boards and blacksmithing/knifemaking. Still relatively new to all this.

    Tool Identification - specialty pliars

    I think this.... They look awful short for blacksmith tongs. Would singe your hand pretty good using those for such. That said, I have made several shorter tongs for smaller work. I can use them blacksmithing, they just arent NEAR as comfortable to use as full sized tongs. That forge...

    Wooden Cups

    I have turned several small shot glasses and have used walnut oil mixed with powdered pine rosin. They turned out ok and didnt leak.

    Box Elder Burl Platter

    Great stuff, T. I've experimented with some dyes and havent quite been able to master it yet. Thanks for the site... a new place to send my money! I'd not heard of them, but already eyeing a few pieces there.

    Rikon lathe 220v help...

    Morning, sir. I got mine from Klingspoor, but did have to order it. Took a month or so to get in. I looked all over for one and didnt see one so ordered sight unseen. As far as likes and dislikes, I cant think of any negative other than you will need another person so help unload and set...

    Rikon lathe 220v help...

    and that seems to be the standard response... 'it'll work and has for a long time, but I cant recommend it'... haha I may just go ahead and tape off the N at the plug and forego the accessory plug. I've had the lathe now for several months and have yet to use it for a light. I've got very...

    Rikon lathe 220v help...

    Yes.... you are correct, sir and I suppose I should have updated this thread. Rikon admitted that the manual was in error. I've still not changed the plug over as it will require me to run another ground. I only ran a 3 wire bundle in preparation after seeing the manual. I've tied the white...

    New Member form Weaverville, NC.

    Welcome... Just a touch north of you in Barnardsville here. Wood turning, blacksmithing, knifemaking is where I concentrate time. I have a nice scroll saw and hoping to incorporate that, but as of yet.. I've not delved into it!

    I’ve been practicing and learning as I go!

    Just ordered a pyro kit last night, in fact. Wanted a way to sign projects without using a sharpie. Nice to see there are other applications for this as well and one is only limited by talent/skill! Great work

    Simple Wall Display Project

    99% of the steel I use is 1084, 1095 or 5160. Those are the easiest to heat treat. I'm just not set up for stainless.

    Simple Wall Display Project

    Had gotten a request from a lady for her grandson (soon to be born) on a project for a wall hanger. Parents wanted a 'cowboy theme' display and wanted it rustic. 'Rustic' is in my wheelhouse so I took it on. Had some old pallet wood I'd been keeping. Snagged a small hat and boots. Gave them...

    Trip planned to Asheville/Weaverville area

    True... I grew up in Weaverville and I always forget about Vance Birthplace. Never been to Cormark though. Need to drop in some time. As to Stony Knob Cafe. Funny... back when I was a kid, it was called Stony Knob Restaurant and it was a little dump. They changed to 'cafe' and cleaned...

    Trip planned to Asheville/Weaverville area

    There is Old Souls Custom Creations in Barnardsville. Just a little hop away from Weavervegas. Rik is a a great guy. His shop is just about 3 min away from my house. Not a storefront, but lots of slabs to drool over.
