Sometime over a month ago I had one of those “I wonder…” kind of moments. I’d been wearing a Wavy Zebrawood ring that was finished with natural oil, giving it a very low-lustre appearance. The only way I could tell where the seam was located was by a small shiny area on the ring, where a small bit of cyanoacrylate adhesive remained. Normally my rings are poly-finished, and the tiny amount of squeeze-out glue at the seams is invisible. But due to the way this na...
I wanted to start off with a big THANK YOU to everyone who commented on my jewelry, and to those interested in the process. It’s appreciated. I had a few inquiries to make a blog on how I made the ring, so I decided to accomodate. After all, isn’t this what this site is for. I want to make something clear first. I’m in no way an experienced turner. My experience on the lathe is pretty minimal, so take my methods of turning with a grain of salt. I think the main focus...

I ordered a 0.3 micron replacement filter from Wynn Environmental to replace my Jet DC1100 30 micron bag. Originally I was going to make a simple review for people to benefit from my experience with the new filter I got… but since it had gotten a bit more complicated, I figured this is blog-worthy, and the ‘regular’ review will follow once I experience more the performance of the filter. Disclaimer: I have had nothing but great experience from Wynn Environmental, from ...
