Re: melting pot vessel
Thanks for the link. I rthought that was what they were doing. They look nice. Just never tried one always something else on the burner.

melting pot vessel
Melting pot vases are very unusual. I'm trying to figure out how to make one.
Are these the steps:
turn to the shape you want. then saw rings off with a bandsaw, sand the outside edges of each ring and place them back in a stack.
Then turn the inside smooth.
Would like to know the real steps

Re: Shopsmith hacks
I like this. If I had a PowerPro headstock I would definitely try something similar. So the squirrel cage blower is blowing air into the headstock, correct? This gives a positive air pressure inside of the headstock compared to outside of it. Just curious if you ever find any sawdust inside of the ...

Re: Shopsmith hacks
I had to add one more hack... Here is my second cooling fan for my SS. The first one was using a shop-vac to cool the headstock. It worked fine, cheap, filtered air and plenty of air flow. But it sure was noisy and added a little heat to the air flow. I've used the the shop-vac version for several h...

Re: Shopsmith hacks
Over the years I've made a lot of different jigs / add-ons for my Shopsmith. I'll see if I can list a few of the better ones. Tail stock brace that's adjustable, left, right and back and forth. After bending the quill shaft twice I built a way to convert the 5/8" shaft to 1" for turning la...

steady rest for the Shopsmith
I finally need a steady rest to turn a large vase. I saw this hanging on the back wall in some YT video and liked the design. Turned out great. Actually the picture is wrong. I used the tail stock just to set up this picture. Actually turned the vase without the tail stock. Looks like I posted this ...

Re: PowerPro low voltage
Well, I think the noise is coming from a loose aluminum pulley on the motor. or at least the slapping noise. I tightened it about a week ago and put loctite on the set screw, but loose again and still has a rocking motion. I thought about shimming it but think since it rocks I might as well get a ne...
