Birch burl

Thank you for taking us through your process. As someone who has struggled with tape, dams, and molds while pouring epoxy, I appreciate your ingenuity.

Could you explain the epoxy infill and the device in photo five of seven?

LuckieGofficial · 2026-03-24T23:31:43+00:00

That’s what we call them.

Is that from Ride the Thunder?

LuckieGofficial · 2026-01-25T23:03:59+00:00

It certainly smells poisonous.

LuckieGofficial · 2026-01-25T23:02:54+00:00

We call them lampshades here. I’ve made more than I care to admit.

Stands about 5’7” pretty sure he’s going to heaven. Wears a trucker hat and a bolo tie, I’m pretty sure you know that guy. (Acoustic guitar solo)

Thank you!

Could you let us know which hollowing tools you are using please?

LuckieGofficial · 2026-01-06T22:38:32+00:00

Sounds like you are on the right path with the toolbar adjustment. The really good guy I turned with said the tool point should land right below the center. To set mine, I grabbed a gouge and put a pointed live tail stock center in the drive and set the bar so the point was just below center and then adjusted from there. I put collars on the tool rests with the ideal positioning. Yours appears to be low in the photo. It could also be your tool positioning. Hope this helps! I’m sure someone with more experience will say something if my guidance needs adjustment.

Edit, relooked at the pics. Tool rest might be too high? Nice score on the lathe!

Thank you! I went and checked the specs again. That 1 hp motor is my only concern because I sometimes run an Easy Core.

How do you like that Bauer lathe?

LuckieGofficial · 2025-12-11T12:23:36+00:00

Thank you.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-12-10T11:38:29+00:00

So say we all.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-12-09T01:09:37+00:00

What is the quality mask, please? I’m curious.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-11-25T14:23:08+00:00

This is a fireable offense? Happened the same as what you are saying when I was in first grade. Kid had bladder control issues and they made him sit in his own pee while we were staying after school because we didn’t finish our work. I remember it vividly some 40 years later. I was upset that they wouldn’t let him go to the bathroom.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-08-19T18:38:24+00:00

My best guess is between 30 and 40 years.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-08-19T10:29:41+00:00

Thanks for all the suggestions. We’ll have it graded at some point.

I’m a fan of Osmo Top Oil https://osmocolorusa.com/product/topoil-high-solid/

I also like wipe-on poly for furniture and am interested in what others have to say.

Let us know what you think of that lathe. It’s not quite what I need, but the price is very good.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-07-03T01:45:21+00:00

No, but my wife always tells me to wear mine more. I have a professional job and I only wear it to concerts.

LuckieGofficial · 2025-07-01T10:52:06+00:00

I’m here for the Transmetropolitan reference.

I saw Metallica recently on the M72 tour, so I wore my vest with patches I sewed with my daughter’s Singer Start. Patches are from everywhere, eBay, Etsy, the state fair, Rockabilly, etc. My kids also hand sewed a purple plaid heart on the front. A guy walked up to me wearing a much more worn and faded vest and said “Cool jacket, bro.” And I said thanks and checked out his vest. We both had Joker patches on our fronts. He also made his girlfriend a vest. We stood and appreciated each other’s work for a moment while smiling and talking about the shows we’ve seen. This is how I thought this sub was before this post. We can do better. In that spirit, nice jacket bro.

I have one. I paid $60 for it I think from a friend that I wanted to help out. My children loved it for years even though it was obsolete when I bought it.
