Looking for lathe chisel sharpening recommendations
Hi all! I am getting back into woodturning and part of the reason I got out of it last time is that I didn't have a great way to sharpen my turning tools. I have used an 8" rikon slow speed grinder with the one way wolverine jig before and fell in love with it, but could never bite the bullet...- Vanilla Gorilla

Using Epoxy
I have been turning a lot of spalted maple in the past year and some of the material was riddled with worm holes, tunnels or however you wish to label it. I have used the 5 minute epoxy from Lowes to dye and fill the voids. As many as I have I need to find a more economical source for epoxy...- walnutjerry

2nd attempt at a goblet
Here is the 2nd goblet I've made to date. It was turned from an old piece of cedar given to me by a friend. An inclusion in the base was left in it due to the shape of the log. Thought about cutting it off and turning a separate piece then gluing them together but the wife said she liked it...- Sam Knight

My first try at a goblet.
Hi all. Had a Bradford Pear tree blow over from the storm last week so I cut it up and used a section to make my first goblet. Another first is the captive ring. Saw some turnings by Mike Mathews that had captive rings and wanted to try it myself. Used Capt'n Eddie's "Shine Juice" on it then...- Sam Knight

A Couple of Great Books
Just picked up a couple of new (well...new to ME) books this week. The first, "Bandsaw Handbook" by Mark Duginske is crammed full of useful information on setup, techniques, safety, and even projects for any bandsaw owner. I could easily recommend it to any woodworker - not just for the...- CommGuy107
