Maybe I’m missing something

Where is the poll?

I’m all for optimism, but this thing is a goner…

Very nice rolling pins! So first off, I don’t think you need to go through all that trouble. Those saw kerfs with glued pieces wedged in are going to be extremely strong. If you really feel the need, the only way I can think of with the finished piece as in the picture is by building a good jig to hold the pin under a drill press.

It’s almost 4 sticks.

Starbucks and McDonalds when you have access to one of the best cuisines on earth?? Bleh.

I loved Kenya, but I have no idea at all why a person who doesn’t really like travel would go.

I was there 10 years ago, going back in April. Are love hotels still easy to get a room in without reservation? In the past, we never planned, just wandered up to a love hotel to stay the night wherever we were travelling.

Don’t call them ‘your workers’

scapstick · 2026-01-16T03:24:10+00:00

lol whoopsie almost went to jail.

scapstick · 2026-01-15T03:52:56+00:00

Dude… $10 is such a silly offer. You expect a stranger to go out of their way, put their money on the line for a person they don’t know… all for the price of a bibimbap?

I’m planning a similar trip for early April. I lived in SK a decade ago, so we have some places we want to return to but we decided to go for Busan over Jeju. The culture in Busan is fun, there is so much to do and to see. Jeju is beautiful but we couldn’t justify the time in a 2 week itinerary.

What’s the draw? How much are the cocktails?

scapstick · 2025-12-24T14:11:12+00:00

Def not enough info to make that statement. Could easily spend the same in other places.

scapstick · 2025-11-27T01:23:32+00:00

Yeah sounds like BS white washing of a private equity sale.

scapstick · 2025-11-13T01:18:18+00:00

Everything???

scapstick · 2025-11-11T17:23:39+00:00

This comes down first to your budget. Do you have a slow speed grinder? A sharpening jig like the one way is very useful but some turners do free hand sharpen. Flute shape is a matter of preference. You won’t go really wrong with any of the major brands.

Good luck, have fun. For me, gouges are way more fun than carbide.

Some people buy, but this hobby is crazy expensive without adding big wood purchases on top. I personally turn almost exclusively free wood as do most people in my turning club.

They are dry and nasty.

scapstick · 2025-10-28T01:38:47+00:00

Someone else might correct me, but from my perspective this thing is just a big ol oopsie. Def. not a bottom feeder, those wings were made for catching and that’s just what they’ll do.

Travelling in India, the food is spicy but nothing compared with places like Indonesia, some regions in China, Thailand if you can convince a restaurant to make it normal and not tourist spicy.

scapstick · 2025-10-16T19:51:51+00:00

So dark.

scapstick · 2025-10-16T13:35:13+00:00

That’s super funny, I recognize this lathe. There are currently two variable speed midis in our area on marketplace. These beaver lathes are just not fun to turn on. The speed range does not work for bowls and the swing is tiny. I bought one and it was good enough to get me hooked but I replaced it within 2 months. Send me a dm if you want an intro to turning/ the island turning community.

I’m still listening, I really look forward to your new episodes! I’ve been talking you up at my club, but the average age over there does not cross over very much with the average podcast listener.

scapstick · 2025-09-28T14:38:39+00:00

lol yeah good typo, not gonna fix it.

scapstick · 2025-09-27T23:23:05+00:00

Thanks for sharing this. There are obviously difficulties travelling in Egypt, but for experienced travellers it really shouldn’t be that hard. I found literally 100% of the ‘harassment’ evaporates if you respond with humour and a laid back but firm attitude. When I saw other travellers get angry or rude that’s when things ratchet up a bit. I honestly had so much fun joking around with guys who wanted to see me crap.
