There has been a lot of chat about card scrapers lately so I thought I would take the opportunity to post my first video!
Now I am by no means an expert at hand tools. I am learning a lot as I go. But I found something that works for me. My hope is that someone who has never tried a scraper will see how easy it is and give it a go.
This amazingly simple flat rectangle of metal always seemed so mysterious to me but it is so simple once you get the hang of it. Many difficult or highly-fig...

Hi Folks,
Welcome to the first installment of the Lumberjocks.com Cyber Skill Share. Please read the Lumberjocks Forum for information on this concept, sit back, and turn the bottom of a bowl. This series will also include hollowing, sanding, finishing, turning tools, and some sharpening.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated as we, the lumberjocks community, refine this concept!

LUMBERJOCKS – Lights, Camera, Action!
FYI – this video was shot with the video feature of a small inexpensive pocket digital camera becuase my digital video camera was included in the shot. So if you have a pocket digital camera, you can start posting woodworking video content!
If you are like me, when not in your shop its fun to watch woodworking videos and podcasts.
Did you take the Digital Lumberjock Quiz?
See if you can answer the following questions:
1. Wears...

This is the first in a series of screencasts and video clips demonstrating how to capture and upload digital content to Lumberjocks. The ultimate goal is to add to your skill set and your ability to enhance your LJ Projects, Blog entries and Forum topics. The first episode focuses on uploading photos to photo hosting site, in this case Photobucket, and subsequently posting the photos to a LJ forum entry. I will be correcting some broken photo links for my forum entry on the Kreg Miter Gauge.

Hi Folks,
Here’s the final in the bowl turning series. Finishing cuts, some sanding (ooo, that’s fun to watch) and applying a finish. I hope you’ve enjoyed this series. In upcoming videos, I’ll go through turning tools, sharpening, and chucking options.
Cheers!
