    I want to learn bowl turning

    My first few attempts were slightly disastrous, and a little violent. :lol: I do chisel handles and basic spindle stuff from time to time but could use some pointers with the bowl thing, starting right at the beginning from wood types and sources, grain orientation right on up from there. I...

    Deja vu

    All, This past week we got some test results for my father, and while the chemo treatments he has been going through are in fact reducing the size of the cancer and he has been tolerating the treatments much better than he has before (he's been through this a few times now), they also show the...

    this weekends flea finds

    Blazing hot but I hit it fairly early and was home by 11am. Got a Mussehl and Westphal Musical Saw (that is a strip of tape on the teeth). Then I found this 18" Disston tenon saw, I think is what it is. It looks rough here but I think it will clean up pretty well. I plan to use this...

    Stanley #3 rehab

    More Show and Tell. Here's a Stanley #3C, type 17 WWII era I just finished giving a makover. It was a fairly bad rustbucket but was solid underneath with good wood. Stripped and refinished the body (most of the jappanning was gone) as well as the wood, just cleaned the rest without getting...

    Keepsake box

    Wanted to post a pic of the little keepsake box I made for my Mom for christmas. I forgot to take any pics until it was time to wrap and go so didn't get any of the inside, but it was red felt lined. The body is spanish cedar and the top panel is tiger wood.

    shop layout

    How did you folks arrive at a final shop layout? I'm in a one car garage, and even then one whole wall can't be used due to floor-ceiling cabinets. I want to get a good idea on arrangement, then pull out everything and paint the walls/ceiling and put it all back where it will go, but I'm at...

    Table saw vs. cat

    My wife's cat stays in the garage at night. Lately he's been getting on top of my table saw, evidently straight from the litter box, because he's left rusty footprints and a little cat litter on there. While I am trying to stay calm, I REALLY do not want to have to cover/uncover my saw when I...

Of course...

Found this place on a recommendation when I was inquiring about joining TWA, although I think I have stumbled over here from Woodnet before. I'm a garage worker, I seem to be...
