    pore filling success!

    After giving up on the wet-sanding-danish-oil-fill-pores-with-sawdust approach, I decided to try filling the pores with shellac. The process involved many coats of shellac. After every 3-4 coats, I would cut back the finish on the surface (leaving it in the pores), and then more coats of...

    some success with resawing

    After several rounds of trial and error learning, I'm starting to have some success resawing on my bandsaw. It certainly seems like setup is everything. I took advantage of the Hartville Tool sale and scored a Kreg Bandsaw Fence. It was not pre-drilled for my 16" Jet, but adding one slot took...

    Some bowl turning success, but...

    Here is the purty picture: That's a blank I cut from stock, mounted on a faceplate, formed a decent bottom with a tenon, reversed it and chucked it, removed the waste in the center down to a reasonable and mostly uniform thickness. Surface is decent; needs some sanding/scraping and I have a...

    Irish PIpes Regulator -- success and failure

    I've had a reasonable degree of success at making a square-bore ("segmented turning") version of the traditional-style turned baritone regulator for the Irish Uilleann PIpes: The greatest difficulty was the keys; they are sawn from 0.094" brass, with a keel made from two pieces of the same...

    Success in Distress

    LOML pointed out article in December Southern Living (at least that's my version and I'm sticking to it) about Wilmington woodturner Ron Vavra who focuses on distressed wood. Another in-state WOW 8-O No doubt others are familiar with his work, I was clueless. Anyway, check out the article under...
