I now use "Old Brown Glue " http://www.oldbrownglue.com/ Longer expiration date.

Re: Turning - Stick pen
I usually use some mechanics safety wire. One time in a hurry, I wrapped the ends around a couple of 2" deck screws. I get 2-3 sets of grooves per wire, then pitch it. It can get red hot and break.

Re: Turning pens and pencils

Re: Questions about router mortise cutting
Last week I used the Shopsmith Speed Increaser under the table to rout edge rabbets on 3 foot long 1 x2 pieces.

Re: lathe chisels
