I vaguely recall seeing a vice which mounted to the banjo of a lathe and would hold a faceplate / chuck. It used a ball / socket set to allow (almost) infinite positioning. At the time I thought "that's nice but not for me", now I have a use for one. Will someone please refer me to that vise?
I've been turning some half rounds of Cedar that were cut 2 years ago - amazingly there are very few splits in the 16" high by 17" wide blocks.
While doing this, I discovered I could peel the bark off intact from the wood, and got to wondering if I can dry the sheets and do some carving or...
Remember to visit my demonstration on Thursday, 3-5pm at San Jose in the Instant Gallery room where as one of the four Emerging Artists I will demonstrate embellishments on turnings.
I'm the first demonstrator and then turn into one of the videographers for the rest of the symposium.

I bought a Powercrafter at last year's symposium and use it for piercing. I am not happy with the high-pitched noise from this unit though and am considering going to a dental drill. These can be had on Ebay for as little as $50. My question is has anyone tried any of these and do they hold up...

Ginkgo leaves carved from a turned bowl of ginkgo wood. The wood came from one of the ginkgo trees that used to live in the courtyard of the Botany and Zoology building at Ohio State University. The trees were cut down to make room for an auditorium that was built during the renovation of the...

Some time ago I posted some preliminary pictures in another forum of a 16" bubinga platter I was working on that included some carving to mask a defect. A could weeks ago I finally got it completed and "finished". Given the shop renovation in progress, I ended up top coating it...
