Very nice work Darren. I've been turning since 1978 or 9. I still love the sound of the tools cutting. I watch turning videos from beginning to end at normal speed. My Laguna 1836 stopped like that around 2 months ago. Then it ran just perfectly for a couple of months. Then, it started stopping a couple of times on each project. A few days ago it started randomly slowing down or stopping. Then it stopped and stayed stopped. I hope your PM doesn't do the same thing.

Thank you and me too. I did find a loose connection on the speed control. I hope that was the issue. I was also putting the machine in reverse for sanding and I noticed I flipped the switch a too soon and I had a little problem. So I stopped and fixed the connection and so far so good. Thank you again

As to your question at the beginning, I never skip through your videos, I love the way you do a few passes, then stop to show us how the piece is looking, it's a great format and one of the reasons this Aussie subscribed to your chanel Thanks for the content Dazza.

That is true. Cold days don’t help with that problem. And flying chips are also a problem with that. I thought the first complaint I got would be the earbuds hanging down the front of my shirt. I usually tuck that inside but I did see it on this video while I was editing. Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.

Thank you James. I like unusual wood.
@JamesCouch777Ай бұрын
That is some very interesting wood. I guess the closest thing we have is Osage Orange or some call it hedge. I try to use epoxy sparingly since it's so hard to keep my tools sharp when using it, even carbide. However, good job on the piece 👍👍 I like it 😊
@darrenswoodworks8695Ай бұрын
Thanks again James. The part I dislike the most about epoxy is that it’s slow to remove the material if you use beveled carbide. Straight carbide removes it fast but leaves deep chip out. But it does come off fast. As for dulling the tools you are right about that. I use a diamond wheel that I can hold the carbide tip on and resharpen it an about 5 seconds. I just replace them and resharpen when I have a few to do. I shape the beveled carbide right on the tool. I just swing it back and forth. And it’s done. One day I’ll show how I do it. Thank you.
@mikeperth8027Ай бұрын
Really didn't expect that ugly bit of wood you started out with to yield that colour. Wasn't sure at first about how I'd feel about a wood base with the resin on top, but I really think it looks good mate. Nice job Dazza.
@darrenswoodworks8695Ай бұрын
Thank you Mike. I really appreciate the feedback. Always looking to see how others feel about my work. I am currently adjusting to the resin work and trying to see how I like it as well. I have another one planned for next week. This one is similar, but hopefully with a wood rim on top. Not just resin. In my opinion, a little resin goes along way. It’s really about the wood.
