I recently posted a platter on the projects page. I mentioned that I used a home made chatter tool on this. Karson asked that I post a picture of the chatter tool with the project. The photo shows an assortment of lathe tools, some home made some store bought. My challenge is to see how many lunberjocks can correctly identify the shop made tools. Correct answer will be posted sometime January 7. In the meantime you can see the tools with the project.

Casework is complete ending construction of major componets, twin towers on either side of the center console are starting to show the final form. The center piece will be fitted between the top of the towers forming a connecting bridge. Still a long way to go with most of the trim, all the finish work, hardware, glass, doors and panels remaining. I have been thinking of ways to make this piece a little unique and I hope to have a few suprises before it’s all done. Thanks for fol...

Controversy and Knots
....i love the controversy that comes from working the wood, i love the controversy of knotted knotty knots, picking up pen and paper i stir some words that cut like wood, soon i realize that words and wood and knots are all what it’s about….
....controversy ‘just is’ the sweet smelling aroma that describes my knots, and so i throw out some descriptive words by telling tales of knots, ...

I am getting emails from fellow Jocks which I would like to answer but they do not include their email address and the LumberJocks site does not allow for replies so I can’t respond.I’m probably missing something. Can someone tell me, is there a way to respond? My address is <riches3182@mypacks.net.

My jet dust colector bags are starting to get cloged, and I can’t find the manual to see if the bags are washable. Has anybody run a set of these through a washer and dryer?

We’d like to share an experience we had way back in 1973.
I just happened to find these slides I took of the fire at our school, which was across the street from our home.
It was on a Saturday afternoon, & we got a phone call from my mother.
She said “the Brooklyn school is on fire”. We happened to be in our basement rec-room.
We went upstairs, & our house was full of smoke, it was a dreadful feeling.
We thought our house was also on fire.
There was...

I’m trying to keep it all in the family, and it seems to make sense, at least to a degree. You see, in an effort to take a part of my woodworking business to the internet, I decided to pick up a pen turning lathe, a bunch of kits, and some padauk and rosewood. Good start, then I could get a feel for it, and perhaps hone my business skills. I shared all this great thinking with my bride, who thought it was great thinking and was therefore intrigued by the whole idea. Little did I know…

I should have posted this back in late October, but this gives me time for a little reflection, sort of a three-month checkup.
I’m supposed to be all busted up, worried, angry, frustrated, and all five stages of grief all at once. About two weeks ago the stable owner of the stable company I was working for called a bunch of us together and told us that we could come in the next day and get our stuff, or we could take it with us as we left, along with our barely adequate severance packages...
