As the Wood Turns: Curves on a Table Saw
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2012/02/curves-on-table-saw.html
Friday, February 17, 2012. Curves on a Table Saw. Curves on a Table Saw. Perfect Arc on the Table Saw. Maybe you have guessed by now this is a terrible mistake and a big screwup. I was cutting some pieces of plywood for our annual family gingerbread house construction. Behind the blade. And be careful out there. By the way, the way you know you are pretty far gone is when something bad happens, all you can think is “Oh wow, that’s a great blog entry”. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And, that's a wrap.

As the Wood Turns: Making a Spoon by Hand
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2012/03/making-spoon-by-hand.html
Monday, March 19, 2012. Making a Spoon by Hand. Woodturning Projects: Making a Spoon by Hand. I have been thinking about dipping into spoon making (Wow, did anybody not see that one coming? For a long time. A couple of months ago, I finally did it and I think I like it. And search for spoons in the list at the bottom right or click “Spoons for Hunger” at the top right of his page. His spoons are beautiful and painful to me as I am reminded of how far I have to go. The fourth source is Drew Langsner over ...

As the Wood Turns: February 2011
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. Ok, let’s get all the puns out of the way. Try not to skew this up. The taming of the skew. Situation normal, all skewed up. Is that all of them? Can you think of any more? Can You Do This? Scares Me to Look at the Picture! What all this is coming to is, I am finally taking a turning class on using the skew. Can we be honest here for just a moment? Hal Simmons will teach a class at Highland on Taming the Skew. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). And, that's a wrap.

As the Wood Turns: Shaker Candle Stand
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2012/04/some-things-dont-need-fixing.html
Saturday, April 28, 2012. Some things don’t need fixing. Witness “New Coke” in Atlanta about 25 years ago — somebody thought they could fix Coca-Cola. Duh! How would you improve a ’57 Chevy? Did anybody give Elvis singing lessons? Who would have stopped Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers and said “Wait, you’re doing that all wrong: you dance backwards and let her dance forwards, and by the way, lose the top hat and cane.”? Go watch the Roy Underhill video. Hancock Shaker Village Table. A couple of years ago ...

As the Wood Turns: Woodworking Resolutions for the New Year
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2012/01/woodworking-resolutions-for-new-year.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. Woodworking Resolutions for the New Year. Here are some resolutions for this woodworker for the New Year. 2 I will clean the filters in my dust collectors. I looked up at the ambient air cleaner in the ceiling of the shop the other day and it must have a pound of dust in it. The filter is two inches thick and it costs upwards of thirty bucks when you buy a new one. Sure would hate to ruin it. 6 Add the skew to that. Still working on that boy. 7 I plan on cleaning the shop very...

As the Wood Turns: July 2012
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 18, 2012. My current Habitat project. This construction brings up two thoughts for wood workers. The first is about tolerances. One of the hardest lessons I had to learn as a newbie engineer many moons ago, was how many decimal places were required in a calculation. If the first decimal place cost ten dollars to calculate, the next one was a hundred dollars and the third one a thousand dollars, how much is the answer worth to you? Links to this post.

As the Wood Turns: October 2011
http://asthewoodturns.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 20, 2011. The Woodturning Snob tries another Easy Wood Tool: The Fullsized Finisher. Did you ever notice how we have these woodworking cliches? Same thing happens in woodturning — we never have a catch, we always have a “nasty” catch. I agree that catches are always nasty, and I still hate them. They scare me pretty good most of the time. I was practicing last week with the next tool in the Easy Wood Tool group, the Full Finisher. It is hard for me to watch the video cause I know what&#...
