Yes he did a lot of teaching in his whole career of fine woodworking. With this I think his first video, book, in 2003.

Lol. If you put an old washer on curb and no one takes it, put a sign on it $100. For sale. It will disappear by morning!

My neighbour got a person charged for stealing his garbage that was sitting on the curb to go to dump.waiting for garbage truck. It's not yours to take. Ask. The people where actually taking the bags for identity theft looking for any bits of thrown out mail , etc. under pretext of up cycling...

Another piece to inspire in the new aaw June magazine.By Christian Burchard. I'm going to have to make a micro spindle rest to turn those "almost toothpicks" !

You are so right and some of the newer most expensive tools pride themselves in reinventing tools to make them better or the best as they say. Look at Woodpecker. They start there tools videos off saying just that. Even when we go to doctor we ask for the generic version of drugs. Thats why new...

You are so right. I've been racking my brains trying to imagine how to turn a hollow form without losing some of that pointy icing Layer!

Well haven't made anything, but going too. My wood supplier texted me and said I have a couple blocks of wood about 10" cubed. Might you be interested!

Yes it gets pretty bad when you want to ask a question about sharpening or other related things and you just know what type of posts are going to follow immediately. I'd hate to be a new member doing it not knowing about certain characters and getting turned off forum immediately. Trying to...

It's called the price of labour!

wowzer! they are over the top. don’t you love it , when you can just whip out and make a few gifts. i’m the wife’s go to for presents all the time. The way i look at it it’s saving me money as it’s just my time!

beautiful! you are a natural, make sure you save a piece of your work every so often, then you can look back over the years and see how you change things, as you go along on your woodturning adventure. i’m just going to make a big pile of dirt into a road today! if i look really close i can...

try this link to fix your veritas. A lot more constructive post then, " I wouldn't waste your time on a veritas marking gauge" lol.

But Phil, what Jacob keeps saying is he is stuck on the old stuff, yes people in the Stone Age always rubbed two sticks together to start a fire. It's easy, there are sticks every where. Jacob can show you how. It's easy. But I just use a match I'm to lazy! I keep up with technology. Thinks move...

You do know every walk of life and forum has a Jacob. What you have to do is get on ignore. Then you can finally get back to your iTunes rather sitting having to skip over the broken scratched , out of date record that keeps getting played on the old gramophone!

Totally impossible on an oil stone to quickly put an edge on a scraper every few minutes! I can do on a 600 grit wheel with my jig in less than 30 seconds. And every edge is identical.

I've been to my sharping jig every 5 minutes when turning some woods!

Yes the German ones can be very expensive. I just bought 4 carbide ones for making pepper mills. Razor sharp, but over $500 Canadian for 4.

You have my vote on that. Particle steel gouges are a game changer when you do a lot of wood turning. I mean you can still turn with an old hss tool if that's what you learned on in the 1920's but the new metals are night and day, holding and edge longer, etc. people get stuck on what worked for...

Here is some inspiration . A bud vase turned on two axis.

Can I ask a question Jacob. How come you always jump in and cut up people who have or do things that are against your beliefs. You seem to be a real piece of work. He asked a valid question. And when I fist saw the post the first thing that came to my mind was, wow Jacob is going to show up and...
