    I stepped in it or I wonder if I can sleep tonight?

    Today was my lucky day. I replied to a past CL ad for an estate sale that listed as one of the items "Dewalt Scroll Saw, brand new in the grease." Well the grease turn out to be the original cosmoline coating. The saw had never been used. It was coated in dust. When I wiped the dust off the...

    Used my new Grrr-Ripper tonight

    I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who responded and convinced me to get one and a special thank you to Joe for teaching me how to use one safely. It came last night and I put it together. Tonight I gave it a short trial run; just cut 4 whistle blanks (and still have 10 fingers :) )...

    Class Tonight

    Green Mulberry. About 9" wide and 5" high. Mulberry is interesting, it didn't really create much in the way of long peelings. I did some practicing last week on some firewood with gouge technique. I've been having problems with depth control but the practicing helped a lot on this bowl.

    Made my first tote tonight

    I picked up a #5 from James Davis last week (thanks James for the plane and thanks Bryan for actually doing the "picking up"!). I decided to set it up as a fore plane. After some slight tuning, putting a camber on the blade and honing it is taking heavy shavings with ease: View image in...

    Had My First Turning Class Tonight

    The only turning I did was some roughing of a bowl blank - all the students got to try and roughing the head to my walnut mallet round. OTOH, I learned I need to replace the factory wheel on my grinder with something finer and I really need to make a wolverine sharpening jig. I also got some...

    I need a trailer asap...

    All, I found a ride mower that I need to pick up tonight if possible. It's a Murray ride mower and not real big. Is there anyone in Charlotte that has a trailer that I can borrow tonight and I'll bring it back tomorrow? I've tapped my 2 resources here on NCWW and our schedules aren't working...

    Dragon Returns Tonight

    Dragon will be automatically reinstated tonight at 10:00PM. As I anticipate a peaceful return, his posts do warrant close scrutiny while being careful not to over moderate him. Dragon brings a lot of good to NCWW. Just wanted everyone to be aware that he will be back to a full registered user...

    I created spare parts tonight

    So I got inspired to go out to the shop tonight to try pen turning day two. So I thought I would try one of my good pen kits and nice wood blanks, since the first one went so well, I cut the blank to the two lengths required and drill the first hole and messed it up, I don't have a drill press...

    Picked up an old piece of arn tonight

    I just wanted to gloat for a second about picking up a great old piece of arn. I got a Craftsman/Parks 12" planer tonight from a really nice gentleman up the road a few miles from me. He helped me get the darn thing in my van, but now I haven't a clue how to get it out and down about 7 steps...

    Tonight's bowl/HF lathe update

    (To skip the Harbor Freight story, scroll down to the pictures) Last night I spoke to my Dad about the HF lathe motor burning up on Monday night. He told me to return it and come to Charlotte and he would pay the difference in price to get a comparable lathe that would be more dependable. So...

    Tonight's Work: Bowl Blank Prep w/ Ci1 & Ci2

    Almost 2 years ago I chopped down two bradford pear trees in our front yard. I kept the main base section of one of them (the other is at PeteM's house, I think). Anyway, tonight I finally decided to cut them down a bit and actually turn them rough-way to bowls. All of this was done from...

    Carving JOAT's way tonight

    I have a post over in hand tools looking for advice on keeping the head on my adze as opposed to well... Anyway, since the head of my adze keeps slipping off the handle, I resorted to mallet and chisel on this: The lines are circular saw kerfs. When I switched to mallet and chisels, the...
