I just want to post a few things I learned and maybe you can too - Arlin Eastman - 12-16-2015
Since it takes me awhile to do things and I hate repeating things or even guessing I do this
1. Use a Angle Gauge when doing two parts that need to match.
2. When making a box or any other turned object that needs a lid. When making the cut to separate the top or lid from the base I leave a 32nd of wood on the base instead of cutting it flush so I know where I can hollow to.
I also found out lately that when I put Deft oil on an object while it is not moving it really soaks in and than I turn it up to 1800 rpm and get it hot and it brings out a gloss and seals it up nicely and I do the same with Shellac afterwards.
Anyone else have anything? Add at any time.
