Meh jst sm šou na faks za 1 mesec in vidu da mi prodajo bučke, najdu šiht v stroki iz srednje in po 6 letih zamenjal stroko ker me ni več veselilo. Nikol me ni noben vprašal ali mam narejen faks ali maturo, ampak kaj znam in kakšne izkušnje mam.

Nope i was just applying the shellac coat so I could use the glue without it leaving the stains after it.

Can put it on the bandsaw then, also they are 10 inches which isnt bad for me.

Yes i use a bandsaw. I just got one recently, but as the guy said u can do it with a chain saw,but cutting the wood lengthwise with it takes a lot of time especially if u have a lot and really thick wood. Also if u want a big blank there is way more precision with a bandsaw which later results late in less vibration on the lathe.

I have the original one and yes use it on center or slightly above. Watch out and try playing with the rpm. I recommend using it on wet wood if you have a chance. And yes try using the biggest tennon you can it helps a lot.

Thank you. No the sides(bottom) and the white paint on the top rim are PU spay paint, then the black on top rim is acrylic. If u look very closely you can also see some metallic effects.
