    I broke 1 of a pair of 2 lamps in our house and unfortunately, it's been discontinued. The other one is ceramic but it seems like it would be possible to build one with woodturning. I, unfortunately, have no woodturning experience or equipment. So my questions to you fine people are: 1) Is...

    I made this urn recently, set it down on my assembly table where I had put my smock, and thought it looked like a setup for a killer photo so I took it.

    My first try at a goblet.

    Hi all. Had a Bradford Pear tree blow over from the storm last week so I cut it up and used a section to make my first goblet. Another first is the captive ring. Saw some turnings by Mike Mathews that had captive rings and wanted to try it myself. Used Capt'n Eddie's "Shine Juice" on it then...
