Forgive me if this is the wrong area to post this. Recently we had a shed destroyed by wind. One of the items in the shed was my dad's old wood saw that was driven by a belt attached to a tractor wheel. We are thinking about selling it and I am trying to get an idea about value. Any thoughts...

Starting to turn again now that my shop is warming up. Started turning some pendants and had a piece of cherry burl turn out like this. Sprayed a couple of coat of lacquer on it. Needs a few more Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated

I have ordered my backer plate to join "pendantmania". One question. How thick are you making them. I am trying to determine what pieces in my "scrap" pile are suitable.

Finally decided the only way to make a goblet is do it. Since the cup did not explode during hollowing and the stem is smaller than the cup I consider it a successful effort. All comments appreciated

This one is out of a piece of cherry burl. I really like it but am not sure which side is the top because of no grain direction.

My latest pocketwatch. It is made out of bocote. The first time i've used that wood. really like the grain. I have to put the post on for the chain. Any comments appreciated

I decided to try a bowl out of a piece of scrap sycamore just to get back in the game the other day. My dad says it looks like I found a bowl in a bowl!

Haven't turned anything in a while so I decided to make a box today out of a piece fo Canary wood. Thanks to Mike Stafford and his class at the NC woodturning symposium last week. I know this isn't a mosque box like he did in the class but I picked up several handy bits of advice.

Made out of Canary wood. I have to work on my photo setup. All comments appreciated. I just have a coat of BLO on it for the photo

My novice question for the day. Someone is sending me a few pieces of sample burl cherry and oak. Not sure how dry it will be. Does burl lumber need to be sealed to avoid checking?

This a my latest attempt at a box. Wood is bubinga. So far just a coat of sealer on it. All comments appreciated

Comments welcome

I am looking into dust collection. I have a jet mini that I get to use on weekends if time permits. Not a high volume turner. What are thoughts on portable collectors versus air cleaners?

any comments on sharpening a skewigouge? Did I spell it right?

Sorry if I am in the wrong forum. I was wondering if there are any chip carvers out there. I am interested in learning more about this.

I would like some comments about signing work. Type of pen, before/after finish, etc.

I was thinking about trying some captive rings and have seen articles about using dental tools for the job. I would like any comments, especially about making your own tools. I might try this before expense of a specialized tool

Warm weather brings a chance to get back into my shop. I decided to try a lidded box with finial. The box is sycamore and the finial walnut. I have not put a finish on yet. Let me know your thoughts

Not sure if this is the right forum but I was wandering the proper way to sign work(Type of pen, before/after finishing?)

I needed to practice(or is it all practice) my spindle turning and decided to see what I could do with a piece of ash I had. All comments are appreciated.
