And here's a 16-piece forstner bit set on sale at Woodcraft through the end of July. You could drill any sized hole you need to drill...

Joe-I haven't played baseball in decades, and never was much good at it when I did, but yeah, that would be a great turning project!

One other issue I'm trying to solve is how to turn a drilled...

Speeds for different operations is one thing I'm still hearing a lot of different opinions on. Point is, being a babe in the woods at this, I am absolutely open to suggestions on speed and other...

Okay, I finished my 1st one I'm not embarrassed by after a few halting attempts with cheap wood. I liked this 3" square redheart spindle for starters, as I have some redheart scales I can match up...

Just a quick follow-up. My wife and I agree that this guy's tutorial on grain direction, the 4 cuts (planing, peeling, slicing and scraping) as well as how to use the main tools effectively without...

First of all, I should have known better than to say I wasn't going to get into turning. Everything I've ever said I wasn't going to do, I ended up doing somehow! But once my woodworker friend put...
