    Woodturning Tools I wanted to write about turning tools and sharpening, and that is what this post is about. Keep in mind that there are two main types of woodturning: spindle turning (legs, pens, and other "long" items) and face turning (bowls, platters, etc.). Woodturning tools come in many...

    I recently bought this old lathe. I know zero history, except that it has been stored for the past 10 years, and was only used once in a blue moon before that. The guy I bought it from is a cabinet maker, and rarely turned wood. He owned it for 25+ years. He bought it initially at an estate sale...

    I need help identifying this wood lathe I got from my work, I've seen some similar ones from searching old lathes on google but I think it might be a Craftsman lathe. I know it's mostly home made as far as the stand goes but I'm trying to find parts for it.

    Hey there, I have a PSI Barracuda 2 chuck currently and I’m looking to upgrade. I do a lot of bowl turning and the biggest jumbo jaws available for it only accommodate up to 8.25” bowls. I also don’t like that all of the jaws for it have teeth which mar the foot of my bowls. I have a delta...

    We have a brand new CM lathe and for some reason I can not adjust the speed to go below 4. Today is only the 2nd time it's been used but no matter if the machine is off/on you cannot turn the handle lower than 4. Unfortunately we can't find the manual. Any idea how to fix this? Also, anyone know...

    Hi all! First time user and first posting. I have a drop leaf table that I was given. The only issue is the main leg is split. Would it be worth gluing or replacing it? Thoughts and recommendations are always appreciated!

    So I am brand new and want to setup a workshop in my garage. I am cleaning everything out of my 2.5 car garage that I haven’t used since I moved in and have a ton of space to fill, but I need recommendations on what tools to fill it with. My budget is 1-2K, but I can go up to 3-4. I have a...

    I built a Lathe cart. My lathe isn’t big so I had it sitting on a garage sale table without casters. It was always where I didn’t want or need it. In keeping with building things with leftover and scrap wood I created it in two parts an upper and a lower. Never to be separated – I just...
