    Building a Chestnut workbench

    This fellow from Holland has a property in Italy that he is rebuilding. In this episode he has some help removing the stone roof and he builds a chestnut workbench. Most of the structural wood he uses is locally sawn chestnut and oak. Some of you will find his work interesting.

    Is this Ash?

    The upload button is not available in "Gallery," but somehow these got properly loaded from my laptop. First time for everything. I have given up on uploading properly rotated pictures on here. Thankfully, these look OK from any angle.

    Offset "j" tool rest questions

    I am looking to purchase an offset interior tool rest for better tool control in deeper bowl work on 10 to 16" diameter bowls. I have a Jet 16/42. So far, I have looked at pricey Robust and Oneway; and less costly EZ Glide and Best Wood Tools. EZ Glide are 5/8 posts and would require an...

    Here are most of my turned Christmas gifts as of now. I still have several bowls and ornaments to complete. The ornaments are my usual Appalachian pine galls. One spalted maple bowl, one maple crotch plate, one cherry crotch plate, and the experimental fan dried maple bowl.

    New way to quickly dry green bowls

    I chanced to watch a yall-tube turning video by a novice turner and found this idea. I tried it Friday afternoon on a 10" maple bowl which I took from fresh cut tree to the lathe within an hour. I roughed it and left only a 5/8" wall thickness. This method reduced the % moisture meter readings...

    Valentine for my bride

    This Pine gall was found by my wife on a hike last year. As a valentines gift, I mounted it on another half Pine Gall, which I turned as a base. I also added turned ebony eyes. The breast was wire brushed, and the back was oiled with walnut oil. Other than that, both pieces are as-found. My eyes...

    Nice corner brace on e-bay

    Here is what appears to be a circa 1907 corner brace at a decent price, but plus shipping. Total cost reaches a cost-to-value level which makes one pause. Still, if you are looking for one...

    A good start on the 2015 ornaments

    This group is about half of what is needed for this year's commitments. All are made from Pine Galls, a sub-specialty I like to turn even though it gums up the tools a bit. Each gall is different, and most have open areas that I like to leave natural. This year I filled some of the ant trails...

    Anyone have a 14/16" Jet lathe bed extension?

    I am wondering if anyone has the 20" version of the Jet bed extension they don't need, or knows of someone who may have one to part with. My lathe is a 1642 and I want to make a yoke (gap) so I can use the tailstock and banjo on the extension to hold and turn larger than 16" platters in the gap...

    Safety Forum?

    Since I have been following posts (less than two years,) I have seen several by injured members who are sharing their tool safety errors and the near tragic results with us after the fact. It strikes me as odd that we have no tool safety discussion forum. Oh now I see it... it's a sub-forum...
