Maple Bowl Finally Finished

Nice job! I especially like how you worked thru your situation, enabling you to complete the bowl. I would offer the following, pick up a moisture meter when you can, and like previously stated....when turning green wood, allow 10% of diameter for wall thickness before bagging the wood in the bag. T...

Rockler's Silicone Brush

The last two days in Concord, Ca. we have experienced a cool down which reminded me that I should have made it clear that the glue on the brush needs to be completely dry before removing the glue residue. So many projects tell you to glue up your work, and let dry overnite. Well, this does not alway...

Rockler's Silicone Glue Brush

Sometimes the simple things get overlooked, and I feel glue brushes are one of them! Applying glue evenly, and properly can be frustrating at times when using various glue brushes, especially if the glue has started to harden on the brushes. Most of the time, you end up tossing them out after use, i...

Thinking of Building Shutters?

Today, I went to my local Rocklers to see the demonstration of their shutter system as explained by Chuck. Needless to say, I was very impressed! The only question that a person has to ask himself is how they want to hang their shutters on the window, whether inside the window or on the outside. Als...

Here's Why

Culprit brought a smile to my face... His comparison of the Male Know it Alls, to the females hit the nail on the head! Over the years, I have taught Fly Fishing to newbies. I have learned, over and over again, that teaching females to fly cast is a whole lot easier than trying to teach guys to cast...

Attention Lathe Turners

Just a couple thoughts and a observation...... Al, You raised a good point about removing stuck centers, and I feel this would be a good habit to get into. Dusty, A couple of things...... First, the damage that was on my Center Adjustment ring was on the "upside" from the set screw, not th...

Attention Lathe Turners-Update

Okay......I received the new Center Adjustment Ring, purchased the tap and drill needed, and most important, finally found the time to start working on the additional set screw. One of the things that I noticed right off was that the wall thickness on the new adjustment ring was different! I decided...
