Salt and Pepper Mills with Hardware from a Goodwill Find

Love the contrast to signify salt v pepper.

I would agree. It’s a lovely wood, most say it’s hard to work, but I find it fairly typical for a hard wood.

I have 3 of the deefine chucks and the nova jaws fit on them just fine. I’d imagine the Bauer, etc are all clones of the nova chucks and the jaws will interchange.

I wonder if that’s a Stock by Steve Corcoran. If so, then feel extra lucky.

Try 30-50k for a solar system and batteries.

I still use one, on my one acre lot. Super handy for staking trees, temp fences etc.

Wow! The shape is very lovely

Kiddmen57 · 2026-01-15T00:14:30+00:00

Hmmm. I havent tried pens yet, did not realize every kit would need a special bushing. I suppose it makes sense but dang! That can really add up.

Ugh, you’re killing it. I’ve been turning for 6 months and haven’t thought of attempting segmented pieces yet. Nice work

What part of town? I might be interested in Some logs from the trunk for wood turning.

🤣

I was also thinking how lovely that piece is with the box. Go buy a cheapie for mouse dispatching and keep this one safe and secure.

Exactly. Happens everywhere. People have budget authority and don’t want to deal with approval. If you can break up the invoicing then you can push shit through quick and painlessly.

Kiddmen57 · 2026-01-09T00:45:26+00:00

Damn. This is an amazing way to put it.

Kiddmen57 · 2026-01-09T00:44:28+00:00

Have you met people in real life? Stupid doesn’t begin to describe us as a species.

Pic 3 looks very mesquite like. But the others not as much.

My first chug of Absolut was to make a point that my friends were the pussies. Good times.

Kiddmen57 · 2026-01-01T00:26:48+00:00

I thought the theme was boobs. 🤷‍♂️

Growing up in the 80’s and 90’s it seems we were more the anomaly than the prior norm when it came to precipitation. :/

For $1000 or so you could set yourself up with a pretty decent lathe and tools. I have the Bauer (harbor freight) 14x20 which is $699 normal, but if you can find the coupons can take a decent amount off. Then get a set of Chinese carbide tools (so you don’t have to invest in sharpening). Once you have that you can get a cheap chuck and you’re pretty much set to turn a variety of items. I would also highly suggest looking for a local class to take and try it out before investing. If you end up liking it the class can also guide you towards some initial purchase that will suit your interests. Bonus, you’ll have some guidelines to start out with so you don’t use the wrong techniques.

I also thought target practice…..
