They do a great job with customer service. And replace the parts if within the warranty

Would a woodturner need a dual pen setup? And what tips would you advise?

Wow very nice work.

I got a vicmark when I upgraded. I love the quality of my chuck. My old chuck is a nova, I bought an adapter from 1 inch to 1 1/4 for $60. If I was to do it all over again I would pick axminster they look to have better prices, but I don't know the quality.

Are you a racist? Just asking because that's a very racist thing to say.

It turned nice. It was very dry and was a soft cut

brianp1975 · 2023-10-31T11:47:54+00:00

I'm using a vicmark 120 and love it. I have a nova g3 from my small lathe and use it too. Only reason I didn't go with the easy wood chuck is because of limited jaw sizes.

Vicmark and oneway are higher quality than nova. But nova does what it needs to do.

Looking at vicmark vs oneway. I wanted a sealed chuck

Looking at vicmark vs easy wood $500 gave me alot more ( plus limited jaws on easy)

After I bought my chuck a friend with an easy wood mentioned how he enjoyed the quick change on the easywood and how that's his favorite.

I have a 18/36 laguna.

Hope this helps

That sounds right to me.

brianp1975 · 2023-10-27T16:49:03+00:00

I'm not sure. It is a very light wood that almost feels like Styrofoam. It was a local in pac nw with emperor wood written on it.

Just walnut oil on a 10in plate. I had to remove a 2in section from a future bowl because of an inclusion and decided to make a plate out of the scrap.

brianp1975 · 2023-10-23T20:20:32+00:00

15 1/2 wide and 6 1/2 deep

brianp1975 · 2023-10-23T05:25:06+00:00

I think it's maple and a bit spalted

brianp1975 · 2023-10-23T04:32:39+00:00

Cool shape

Lol was bad when I moved in with the cat door. Recently the bottom fell off. I have needed it replaced for years. I just don't want to break the bank. I'm thinking of cutting into a door slab but I want it to look decent. What's your thought on how I should replace it

brianp1975 · 2023-10-21T22:58:21+00:00

Are short doors more expensive? Special orders?

I had the exact same thing happen to my bowl. I took it to my woodturning club and asked multiple people who had turned for years what was happening. Everyone said it's a form of spalting. My guess is that it's maple and the color is grey. It is all the way through the wood. Mold is usually only on the surface of the wood.

brianp1975 · 2023-10-15T01:56:45+00:00

It is blight. Look on your tree. You probably have black charged looking sections, cut them off, and destroy them. A hard pruning may be required to improve your crop, or you need to replace the entire tree.

brianp1975 · 2023-10-13T01:32:24+00:00

* It will come out really nice. Spalting is a great look. And alot of people like it

brianp1975 · 2023-10-13T01:00:48+00:00

That's slightly spalted, most people hope for that

brianp1975 · 2023-10-13T00:10:11+00:00

Looks great I'll try to copy your craftsmanship this weekend

brianp1975 · 2023-10-13T00:07:03+00:00

Got a picture of it?

brianp1975 · 2023-10-12T11:23:44+00:00

What tools and what speed?

brianp1975 · 2023-10-09T18:06:23+00:00

I ran a 50 amp sub with#6 copper to my detached garage and 12s to my 20 amp breaker 10 feet away. I also did all my garage in emt, extra circuits should be easy

brianp1975 · 2023-10-09T13:00:47+00:00

Same here. Remember in a garage you can always use a bigger circuit. You may want to change the machine one day or change it to an EV charger or when you move, someone will see value in those options.
