RIP David Ellsworth
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
From wiki:
Quote:David Ellsworth (born June 25, 1944 died 16 June 2025) was an American woodturner known for his tools and techniques for creating thin-walled hollow wood vessels.
Sad news. I learned about his passing on NCWW.
I got to attending a couple occasions when he did guest turning sessions for clubs or symposia. He was always fun to watch and I always learned something new each time.
One of those sessions was where I learned to not use CA glue for segmented turning. He had had a couple of museums reach out to him because the CA glue was failing just sitting on a museum display after a decade or 2.

Air Line system
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
I have the Rapidair system for the garage. Or the Rapidair Home Garage System. I want to move a line. So I need about 6 feet of the nylon 1/2inch line to extend it, not the Maxline. Which I bought the Maxline not knowing they were different. So now I'm back to square one. Looking for a short piece of the 1/2 inch nylon hose that excepts the Rapidair push on connectors. I was thinking about putting a mic on the hose and then getting a 1/2 hose from the big box store. But I'm afraid it will collapse. Any suggestions

Remembering and thanking Pat Warner aka Router Man
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
How many of you here still remember Pat Warner aka Router Man? I still have his custom router bases and use them regularly. Needed to route a 6" discand recalled that the elongated base he did for me included centering holes to do 2" to6"circles in 1" increments.
However, I always used the base on my fixed router base. Wondered if it would go on the plunge base and lo and behold it worked! I cannot do 2" or 3" circles but 4" to 6" are no problem.
Said a silent prayer of thanks toPat for his engineering and foresight. Miss his cryptic post and vast knowledge of routers.
RIP Pat! You left this world a better place.

What kind of wood?
Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)
In the barn this week I saw some old boards leaning against the back wall. Rough sawn, some 15 feet long. Enough to make a dining table. Here it is, glued up. Ash? White oak?
