I have posted a couple of pics of my attempt at making an Oland tool
on alt.binaries.pictures woodworking

The rod is 3/4 " x 18" with a 3/16" hss cutter. I have yet to make a
handle for it but will eventually. Will probably make another one
fitted with a 1/4" bit.

Next, I have to check out your website again as I freehanded this one
but would benefit from the consistency gained by your suggestions in
regard to sharpening jigs.

Thanks !

Thanks Lenny, the picture makes more sense now. I use a lighter shaft, 1/2",
on the 3/16" tools and a 5/8" shaft on the 1/4". I think it lets me get a
bit closer for cuts inside a bowl. The first thing I do for an edge is to
use a rough grind stone to give a 45* angle and then use the fine stone to
refine the edge and round it a touch. I use jigs for the latter but free
hand is not hard.

To be honest, I had planned for this one to get the 1/4" bit but I was
so anxious to try it out that once I got it drilled enough that the
3/16" bit would fit I stopped. I do have a 5/8" shaft waiting in the
wings. When I get another chance perhaps I'll prepare that one for the
smaller bit and redrill this one for the 1/4".

Hi Lenny

I tried to have a look, but am unable to get to it, Rogers has decided
in cahoots with Yahoo to deny us access to most newsgroups, even if
that was included with the contract.
Even with this group I have to go through Google to get here.
Them being unable to bombard us with advertising is probably a sore
point to them.
If you and anyone else has a way to post pictures on an website other
than the news groops, that would bypass their attempt to shackle us to
their boards and ads.

Have fun and take care

Leo, I just want to take this chance to thank you for your many posts
and website info that I have been looking over the last several weeks.
Like George and Darrell and Mac and so many others here, you have been
a wealth of helpful, informative resources for turning information.

I have added a page here that hopefully you'll be able to see:

YES
Thanks Lenny

Good sharp pictures, nice job to, what kind of steel shaft is it ??
looks very shiny.
Yes Darrell has a wonderful website with info and not just for the
"newbees", I have been there many times, down to earth info,no bs and
pushing some fancy high priced "new tool, gadget" like others, just
help yourself info.
I made a boring bar couple of years ago, after a article that I saw in
fine woodworking, I used a 1" square steel property stake, that was
taken out by a dozer as they were widening a nearby road.
I sawed out a slice and then clamped a 3/8" tool bit in there, with 2
bolts, and just out to one side,so as to try to control the amount of
wood the tool cuts.
I really have to watch it or it will hog so much that either I can not
control it, or it will tear the turning right out of the chuck.
The lesson is next one I make, the bit is going to be smaller, so I
will be able to better control it, making it bigger is not always
better.

(but your welcome and thanks for mentioning me in the ranks of Leo, George &
Darrell!)

There is always the WoW (World of Woodturners) site, which interested
parties may be invited to for the asking.

Hi Chuck
Yes I know Chuck
However I am all for freedom of expression, and that is what I like
about this rcw group.
You saw I'm sure the latest rucus in the news, and I do not want to go
in to this here it's not the place for that, however there are powers
out there that want to control what you read see and say, where and
when and how, etc.
Just go an Email of a lurker that is unable to post here, only read,
and there are probably many more, we just don,t know how many just got
knocked off by the latest one from Rogers and Yahoo.
However
Have fun and take care
Leo Van Der Loo

Leo:

Don't despair. I am not sure what rucus you refer to, but try this for
your web image needs:

http://www.free-webhosts.com/free-image-hosting.php

I know some have used the Easy2Upload with sucess, and it has a link
there. Missing from that list was

www.photobucket.com

and

www.flikr.com

The last two are being used a LOT by folks on other NGs and forums and
they seem pretty happy with them. I know Flikr was just acaquired by
Photbucket, but they still seem to make their services as stand alones,
even though in some cases they are cross linked.

Sorry to hear about your problems with your ISP, but this may make a
nice workaround for you. I had the same problems for years when I had
AOL, and those weasels finally relented and made it so you could read
and post from their service. However, I left soon after. I just kept
the old address and post through Google.

Let me know if you need some editing software and I will post some
links. There is some really neat free stuff floating around these
days.

Hi Robert
Thanks for the site addresses, but I think I did not explain my problem
well.
I do have a website at .Mac (Apple) and have my picture albums there,
also a gig for keeping backups safe etc., no problems there.
The problem I have is not being able to contact or get to any web
address that starts with "news".
So if anyone puts up something on any of those sites, be it pictures or
messages, I can not get to it.

Have fun and take care
Leo Van Der Loo
