Nice! I used to do some amateur wood working but nothing like that. After the table saw "oops, brain fart" I kinda lost interest (and a finger). I do appreciate nice work though!

Very nice, Brian. Now you need to get a lathe and really turn out some bowls.

Brian - you waste so much walnut with your oversized cuts - but fear not,
because I'm right here behind ya brother. Just send all those cutoffs to me
and I'll put 'em to some use.

Oh yeah - nice tray.

Yes! I agree 100%. That'll be my next big purchase. I keep drooling over the Powermatic 3520B. I need to convince my wife that I "need" that much lathe. :)

Ha ha! In all seriousness I throw very little away. That which I do toss gets burned in a wood stove in the backyard with the kids and a few marshmallows.

Better to resaw off what you don't need than to plane into useless chips. That's what I tell myself anyway :)







Oh yeah - nice tray.

Thanks for that Lew! Saved.

I wonder if the router collet extension can stress the router bearings from the added leverage?

With out question there is added load on the collet end bearing;
however,
you are not going to add enough load to cause problems if you only
take 1/16-1/8 cuts and let the cutter do it's job.

IOW, don't get in a hurry and try to force the cut.

Take only enough material fast enough to prevent burning.

"IF" you are not turning now and think you would like to get into turning,


Turning is a whole different aspect to woodworking and a fortune can be
spent on equipment and tools before you even know whether you will like it
or not.

I would strongly advise to buy close to entry level, but a decent brand,
lathe and start off with carbide tipped tools, something equivalent to
"Easywood Tools"". You really only need 2-3 of their tools to turn almost
anything and they do not require any sharpening equipment.

I have owned 2 different lathes for 30 plus years and never really got into
turning until the last 5-6 years.

It takes years of practice to become as proficient with a lathe as you are
with a table saw. You may not like it or have the patience.

Just remind your wife that bigger is better because size does matter.
