Did the Trent Bosch and David Ellsworth class and learned a bunch and really improved my technique and finished product. Tried to take the end of my thumb off while doing something stupid on the lathe, that's about healed up. Taught a very nice guy from Mo. for 2 Sundays had a great time. Was getting ready for a show next weekend, but now won't be able to attend as I going up to the Southern States Woodturning Symposium. Should be fun, going as a helper to a vendor. Hope others will start using the Groups again!

I will post pictures if anyone is interested. I will also try to take copius notes and try to put them in a coherent form for those who like that kind of stuff.

I made a new one that is 22+" long for my large carbide bit tool. Nice and heavy. I was dreading putting the PVC hose on the pipe as the last time I used black pipe is was a bit of a pain. Well I put the hose in the oven at 225 and the pipe in the freezer. I know the pipe isn't going to shrink, but when you take it out of the freezer you get a fine layer of frozen water and the hose slips right on and in a couple of hours the hose tightens up and will not go anywhere. Very cool.

I've bought the carbide bits and some square 1/2" cold rolled steel, but I have yet to shape any of it. I was hoping to get a buddy of mine to turn a round shank on the end for putting in the handle, but he's having some problems with his metal lathe.

The 3/8 is ? steel, I think it’s supposed to be cold rolled steel, but i’m not convinced. I get most of my steel from Alro Steel here in town and their cut off area is not always what it’s marked. That may be part of my problem. I use a 1 x 42 POS belt sander to shape the tool and then the top surface is make flat on a diamond plate. I really like the belt sander, I'm planning on making a better one. The 1/2 I used an ”end mill bit” in my drill press to but the recess. I’m not sure the recess is necessary except to lower the blade on the tool. Any thoughts? If the supporting surface is flat to support the bit, why does it ”need” to be recessed? I know that some will say to stop the bit from turning. But I’ve used it on some really nasty stuff, 10 year old Live Oak Burl, and it didn’t move.

Used it on green wild cherry and an old oak burl (really dry) made a big mess. Like it so far, but I'm not giving up my bowl gouges or hollowing tools...ever.
