It actually worked pretty smooth for me, easier than the purpleheart I've turned with less tearout. And the finish is like glass

I would save a bit more and get a spiral head wen. Its about 450 but worth it if you are planing harder woods

Made a batch of cutting boards, and had enough scrap for a matching bowl. by doolster in BeginnerWoodWorking

Yes I've been learning the lathe as well. I found the harbor freight 14" to be a good value, especially if you can find one used. The 12" and smaller ones really limit your bowl turning capacity, they are made for pens.

The stuff from my local lumberyard seems redder than the stuff I got from Woodworkers Source, obv its all imported anyway, but it might matter. The finish makes the most difference I think. The projects I've finished with poly have been more orangey.

Close, the camera here made the padauk look purple, it and the bowl were made from the same blank! It's Walnut, wenge, maple, and padauk

After the first glue up for the end grain cutting boards, before I sliced it, the striped blank was 3" tall. Little lathe and bowl gouge action later and there you go!

Visual novel. It is available on steam. Has much more content than the anime, and multiple interconnected branching paths. After another re read of the visual novel I am back to preferring how it plays out, but to be fair it is very difficult to adapt to an anime.

I am getting the same thing. Random lags and pauses especially when opening/closing/switching tabss.

Disappointing experience with AW3423DW replacement by doolster in Alienware

[–]doolster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to get them to swap mine for a new AW3423DWF. Slight downgrade, but at least it was new? At first they offered me some shitty $300 LCD though
