I just want to post a few things I learned and maybe you can too

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.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
