Fence was purchased by my friend who passed  recently. Used very little. The base is drilled for multiple routers so it should fit most others on the market. Asking 150.00 + shipping

I am a fairly new woodturner and I want to start learning how to turn hollow forms.  Looking for suggestions on which brand, type, etc, more experienced woodturners of hollow forms use and/or would recommend.  Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  Thanks in advance...

Anyone know what the thread size for this rabbit bit might be? I know it's a long shot.. thanks in advance

I'm getting ready to CNC this Index Wheel design that I made for my 10" Midi Lathe.  It's 8.5" in diameter. 

I'm looking for feedback from those with more experience on the design and number of holes per ring.

Thanks

   

Started making these pens the other day.  This one is Gun Metal with Bocote.  Most popular is Pewter with Bocote, Redheart, Bloodwood or Cocobolo.

   

   

I lost my only brother two days after Thanksgiving last year. He had several health issues over the years including colon cancer twice and and about ten years ago contracted a rare muscle disease called Inclusion Body Myositis that eventually put him in a wheelchair. For most of his life (he was 73 when he passed) he was a big game hunter and used to spend a couple of months every year in Wyoming Elk hunting. He was my best friend and was the one who first introduced me to woodworking.

A couple of weeks before he passed he was hospitalized with abdominal pains. The doctors never determined the exact cause but they were pretty sure his colon cancer had returned. I think he knew this was the end and he told me he wanted me to make his Urn.

I don't care much for the standard short squatty Urn designs so I made it more in the shape of a large vase. I decided to do a staved vessel design and made the main body from Curly Maple with Ebony and Holly "splines" and used a Cherry Burl for the top section.

Here's a picture of the Curly Maple staves and the stock for the Ebony and Holly splines. The second set of staves are Red Terara I plan on using for a second vessel. 

     

Here are the splines glued up. I used three pieces of Ebony and two pieces of Holly for each spline.

   

I glued the staves up in two half-rings.

   

I then glued the two halves together and mounted on the lathe to turn the outside.

   
   

Next, I mounted it in my modified donut chuck to turn the inside. I need to get a better light!!!

   

Next, I added an Ebony ring to the top and turned a mortise to accept the top section.

   

Then I started working on the Cherry Burl for the top and discovered it had a big bark inclusion in the middle. I started to trash it and do something else but decided to fill it with black CA glue and continue turning it to see how it turned out.

   

It ended up looking pretty good so I finished it up and turned a tenon on it and glued it to the main body .

   
   

All have been freshly reground and are flat within .001. The sides have been ground square to the bottom. I took the Keen Kutter 7c apart  to show that all all parts work. The #3 has been repainted and it needed to be taken apart to do that so I didn't take it apart for a picture. The blades have been precision ground so no lapping is required. The knob and tote on the 7 are rosewood.  The keen Kutter is basically a Bedrock round side with the casting numbers changed. Asking $200  plus shipping for the K7 and if you think that is high check out the prices on eBay unground.

Anyway pictures

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

Asking $95 for the #3 plus shipping 

Thanks for looking

First, I don't cut firewood, I don't cut timber, all I do is basically cleanup any debris on my property. I've always used a gas powered chainsaw. For the last couple of years, I've had issues. I ended up replacing the carburetor and it sorta helped. I'm really frustrated with having to work on it or now I feel it's time to put it in the repair shop for a complete "fix", mainly correcting my failed attempts at a DIY repair. So, I'm mow considering a battery powered chainsaw. I don't have any large trees to worry about plus, I have neighbors if needed. My question, does anyone have experience with a battery operated chainsaw? Pros and cons.

Thanks
