    Woodturning world wide symposium

    I hope this is okay. i found this $10. Off coupon for the 3 day online symposium coming up this month. I attended the last one and it was outstanding. They let you view all the courses for a month or longer. I can’t remember exactly how long.

    Post a photo of the last thing you made

    Very nice. You have just motivated me to get my *** in gear and get off the iPad and get making things I’ve put off for years. I have so many gouges, scrapers with no handles sitting in my collection. With a huge ash board sitting close by. Time to cut some handle blanks and start turning. Now...

    Canadian Western Red Cedar alternative?

    That will be one heavy lid. Cedar is 330 kg/m3 and iroko 660 kg/m3. Twice the weight exactly. A side note, western cedar is the only Canadian softwood that the sawdust is carcinogenic . No wonder it’s good outside, no bug will touch it. As a carpenter we always mask up with that stuff. I can...

    Did you buy any cheap tools that surprised you with being actually good?

    Those big slots are for beginners so they can try and take an 1/8 of an inch off each pass. You need the clearance to eject the chips. Just gotta go to the gym first to pump up the biceps

    How to safely turn very thin

    If it’s close to paper thin and wet wood. It would be like getting hit by a wet lasagna noodle at 500 rpm. At 12 inch diameter I think that’s 17.8 miles per hour. I can’t see it hurting with a full face mask on. But tell us how it goes. Video of it blowing up on first try would be nice. Slow...

    Rail saw wierdness

    If the rail wasn’t straight he would still be able to push the two boards tight together. after thinking about this it could only be two things , the sheet is bowing after cutting or the blade is wobbling or track not tight to saw whole time. Unless I’m forgetting something.

    Rail saw wierdness
