Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Bad day for Band Saw... Good day for LatheA good number of lathe projects finished today. Tried doing some additional Christmas ornaments on the band saw but popped a blade. Really need to figure out what I am doing wrong on it. After that happened I just decided to finish up all of my turned projects which included some new kits.
Secret compartment whistle key rings
Candle and fan pulls- fun kits, pulls made form Canary wood that I just got in the last swap. :)
Telescopic Magnetic pick up tool
Kaleidoscope/Teleidoscope- comes with the parts to do either other than having to wrestle some with the mirrors I really like these kits.
All came from Penn State.Hope you all had a productive weekend.CtL

Third turned bowl

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Third turned bowlThis is the third bowl I turned, and the second made of birch. I managed to get the sides a little thinner, and the bottom thinner as well. I almost avoided tear-out on the end-grain sides of the bowl, only using the bowl gouge, but there was a little, so I sanded to clean things up.Turned this one in a single session in the shop. Maybe three hours total, including cutting it octagonal on the bandsaw, mounting it on the plate, cutting it free, and using the belt-sander to take off the last nubbin on the bottom.It's a little over 5 inches in diameter, and about 1- inches tall.Six coats of shellac, with some light sanding with 400 grit between the fourth and fifth coats. I'm trying to decide if I should pull out my French polishing kit and try to really put a nice finish on it, or whether this is good enough.Thanks for looking!
