Kim, where have you been? You’ve got to have your lathe up and running by now. Your channel was one of the first ones I started watching about for years ago when I took up turning. Your work is some of the best out there and I really miss watching your projects. I hope all is well and hope to see you back on the lathe soon. Take care

Any project where I can find inspiration on using all these shavings is very welcome! Thanks for sharing this video. Ever try bowls or other things with resin shavings? I'd really love a purpose for those :p

Hi Kim Very nice . Thank you. Some questions:: I'm new to turning-- 2 1/2 years. I'm working on an Alder (Oregon) vase. 9 in tall, 4.5 in diameter. I'm applying Turquoise to a minor crack in the base and a section at the widest part of the circumference of the vase. Please...some advice on how to apply the Blend and fine Turquoise. It does NOT stick well enough and slides off--plus the CA then dribbles down the rest of the piece. This will be my 4th attempt to get the mix into the small crater. Twice I've taken it off the lathe to approach the proper angle but still get a lot of run off. Ane then, of course it is a pain to get the vase back on the chuck and register it so it doesn't wobble. Any advice is greatly appreciate. Thank you in advance. Oh BTW I just ground ALL material off and it is now down to bare wood. Thanks again, Be Well ED PS: To confirm, it's a bowl gouge with a 55 degree angle. Not 40 or 45 degrees??? Thanks again

Hi Kim...havent seen you since the feeding of the chickens...try sprinkling cinnamon and cyan pepper around the coop to keep the raccoons away...any idea when you'll be back to turning...stay safe...press on 😎Joe

Miss your videos,

looking great kid

where have you been ages sence last time seen you in months or more

So glad you are back keep on keeping on.

The wood looks to me like Osage Orange. It can be that yellow with dark grain as well.

I live in Australia are you still posting videos cause i haven't seen one in along time

I bought a chuck but it would not turn centric. I watched a video and the guy told us to check the distance between the chuck and the headstock and if there was a space between then adda washer to fill the gap. Fixed the problem.

I got a dial indicator. Turns out my lathe has 0.001 spindle runout and 0.002 with the chuck on. Which is really good. But I do see all of that, I feel all of that with my hand. It was bugging me for a month I'd say. But at the end of the day, all my turnings after turned out fine. It's just the nature of the wood turning. Metal turning is a bit different. And as others said, wood moves!

Beautiful, well done. Thank you for sharing

God bless you! Excellent craftsmanship as well.

We love you and miss you

Я ТОКАРЬ НО ПО МЕТАЛЛУ НО РОДНОЕ УВИДЕЛ ХОТЯ ТОЖЕ ТОЧИЛ ТАКОЕ ДЛЯ СЕБЯ СПС ЕЩЁ РАЗ

We miss you 🙏🏻

So glad I saw this I almost threw mine out cause it hardened.

What’s the secret to turning mesquite and other hard wood as far as speed and tools?

Hi there my sister in Christ.. I was inspired by a video from you doing a small epoxy project. So I decided on trying to copy it. I’ve done a number of epoxy jobs and every time I take my epoxy out of the mold there’s always small air bubbles and cracks in it… I I don’t have a pressure pot. Maybe I should get one what do you do when you pour epoxy? Do you have a pressure pot? It’s always kind of a pain to have to go back and fill little tiny holes, especially when you have a number of them to do , because it takes forever… I’ve been doing lathe work for about two years. And am hooked on it. I wish I could send you some pictures! Have a blessed day and keep your eyes on JESUS.., john

Aways happy to see a sister in Christ and fellow wood turner.. you do some beautiful pieces. GOD BLESS

Beautiful work,, love it. Where do you get the ob shine juice from?

Love them and colours look great together What size did you start outwith? I see you made this Video 2yrs ago fingers crossed you can remember 😊

That does look like Cherry 🍒 bark.

Hi Kim. Just watched the video. I need to change the bearings in my old Laguna lathe, which is basically the same lathe as the Grizzly. I'm wondering where you found the written instructions you were using. Thanks!

Welcome home Kim! God's gonna have you back on your lathe, and sending woodbits flying soon!! PS. I think We're neighbors ... I'm a retired Anatomy and Physiology professor ... taught at Spring Hill campus of PHSC. Now I'm doing what I love ... spinning wood.!!

Awesome

When are you planning to start your woodturning again? I really enjoyed watching your creative ideas.

I use my 1l saucepan inside my 2l saucepan with water just up to the bottom of the 1l saucepan.

Can the music!!!!!

Do your boots fill up with shavings?

I worked with punky pecan burls and found shellac does a good job of hardening those spots.

I use straight shellac on the “fury bark.”

Laguna has too many problems for me. I sold mine and bought a Powermatic. We will see.

Did you ever find your burl thief?

Wow wow!!!

Wow!!!!

Kid-o my hats off to you for taking that Job on . I couldn't understand what you were saying.. but that might be a good thing ... hope it works for you

Beautiful thanks for the commentary and for not playing music in the bits between..

Watching the chuck at slow motion at 11 minutes area the chuck body looks to be running true even the jaws . until recently i've only had oneway chucks but bought 2 Vicmarc last summer. they are worth the little extra. it might just be the wood for this issue . Also you could put like a large mechanic socket or other cylinder in the chuck to see if it runs true.

Beautiful piece!!!!!

Very nice

What a great idea

Any relation to Paul Tippin from Torrance??

Pounding on bearings is not good for their longevity. If you heated the bearings just enough to warm them and put the shaft in the freezer then it would've loosened the fit a few thousandths and made it much easier.

I know this is a little late but your problem is obvious to me. Your problem is the chuck is seating on the end of your adapter it should be seating against the shoulder of the adapter and its not. This can be corrected by adding a washer washer between the chuck and the adapter I would suggest a brass or a copper washer which you probably will have to make as it should be the same outside diameter as the adapter and the inside diameter should be close to the thread diameter about 5 thousands over. You can leave the washer on all the time, and I bet your face plates need it too. Another tip, don't run the lathe with your dial indicator touching like you did it proves very little, turning it slow by hand tells you everything you need to know.

did you have any concerns about allergic reactions

Wonderful story, FAITH is the Substance of Things Hoped-for the Evidence of Things Not Seen. Hard work makes us stronger mentally and physically and is an example of our Faith. God bless you and keep you.

Μπράβο!!!❤
