Very nice idea for a good set of French knives. And nice choices for the contrast Jerry.
Laguiole knives keep a terrific serrated edge.

I use CA to hold things together while turning sometimes.
Before they let go to far, works great.
Couple nice turnings Jerry!

If you just resharpen the bottom angle only Jerry, eventually your tool will look more like the one in my pic, and you can tell me if it behaves more predictably then.

As far as direction to...

25’ top, and 40’ bottom angle works for me.
Efficiency of resharpening mostly.
Set the top angle about 3/16 wide, then I just maintain the bottom angle in use till I almost run out of top curl,...

Lovely lamp, nice shading and fade through where you got the mushroom cap so thin as well.
A treasure for the young princess to last a lifetime.

Ahh tis gonna be the summer of rekindling passions and projects for sure Jerry.
I’m excited after a record week of warm weather to get the yard opened up early and see what we can get done this year!

Nice shave puck bowls Jerry!
I turned one for my penhaligon suds rather than repurposing another makers bowl.
Those are very attractive buddy.

Alumilite makes some awesome chemicals. I have used their various duro meters of rubber in industry, and their clear casting resins for a bunch of brush and scale creations at home.
Look forward to...

My experience with non pressure pot urethane is limited to Bar top type pours and the like.
I use both vacuum and or pressure depending on the work, both for bubble expulsion or compression, but...

Nice pen, the blank has a nice translucency to it!

I suppose the only critique would be how long it would take to lather only traveling in straight lines across your face?
:hmmm:

Nice piece to make a handle from!
And the spalted beech goes so well with the boar hair.
Terrific results.

This was all skew and round chisel work, and honestly I prefer free form curves over parallel, symmetrical lathe work as a rule, unless it’s in steel.
But it is good practice to try to free hand...

Yeah it feels really nice to sharpen the edge and make shavings again.
I’d like to think this’ll be a good year, all around. Lord knows we are all do a fair shake coming out of the last three years...

He sent me the blank ages ago and asked if I could make it up. Life, car and wife kept getting in the way and his patience deserves to be rewarded.
Although as this take shape, I’m thinking it will...

Finally getting around to a long overdue project on the lathe for my buddy Roy.
An African blackwood blank, near as hard as ironwood, to be caressed into a meat grinder podge.

I’ve used those sizes, but not the brand. Nice looking gouges.
Never used allow turning handles before. Look forward to your feedback on them. If they feel cold in hand, or are too vibraty like.
I...

It’s a pretty cool example of easy tools for small soft item turning.
Can hear the dress up stone in the back he uses to clean up the jig.

Beautiful pieces.
Like the rooks in particular.
Well turned.
:tu

Really nice looking turnings Jerry. That zebra wood is so pretty to look at. Nice choice for a kaleidoscope.
:tu

Really nice take on a weeding tool. Love the results. Gives me yet more inspiration to try my hand at smithing sometime in the future.

Nice grain on those. Captured well in the profile you chose too.
Nice job buddy.

Ya never know what is going to be on the block this year Shaun!
;)
And regarding the pepper mill being sticky, make sure the grind isn’t set too course as that can make them hard to start,...

I’m cleaning up my wood shop finally as I have a few things to turn this fall!
Can’t wait to make some shavings once more .
Those look terrific gents..

Lol,, and Movember is just around the corner too!
Could be new builders boxes available.
Great job on the kits you’ve produced so far Jerry!
