Bad day for Band Saw... Good day for Lathe
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
A 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)
This 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!
