Also I’d prefer you turn bowls. I’ve got enough competition trying to sell pens. LMTO!!

And certainly no offense taken. When I first started turning I had aspirations for doing huge bowls then figured out that one of yge practices was to turn green wood bowls to about an inch thickness and then put them on a shelf fit six months. I’m overweight, an ex smoker, ride a motorcycle...

I started out on the HF lathe. It served its purpose to see if it’s something I would enjoy. I did! I quickly moved up to the Jet 1221 and have two of those as well as a Jet 1015. The wife and I use the 1221’s, the 1015 is used to sand and put pen ends flush, and nothing...absolutely nothing...

Cudachick is an ace you are correct. I asked her a ton of questions when I first started and she was very helpful. Looks like I will draw from that well again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

More good info. Thanks Chris. Guess I won’t know for sure till I do some testing. Might be time to invest in a media blasting box too.

Thanks! I’ve got an old guitar part I think I’m going to give a go at. It can’t hurt to try. On the parts you did, did you do any special prep? I want to try a translucent powder over the chrome to see how it looks so I’m leery of sanding it. Your thoughts? Thanks again and ride safe.

All applicable...except maybe the last one. LOL

Tell me the best way to do it. Scuff and cost? Your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Don’t I get special pricing just being a member that I can use a 20% coupon on?

I’m thinking my daughter got me a tool club membership. My question is whether I can still use coupons with my tool club pricing. Is it an either/or situation or an “and” situation?

And a good one. Thanks Mark!

I can relate here just North of you in Willis. I picked up a 24” high volume fan from Northern and while I wouldn’t want to spend the whole day out here I probably could. LOL n between cups I usually sit in front of it. Overall not bad but I’m anxious to hear how your purchase does for you. Just...

Wow! My wife’s last day in the school district is tomorrow. She graduated from here in ‘76. I guess I’m asking if I’m better off trying to pull air into the shop or pull it out. Someone else suggested to me about putting a fan in the rafters to draw hot air up into the ceiling exhaust. I...

I agree. Unfortunately I’m powder coating or using a spray accelerant on a finish when turning pens and such so that’s not really an option.

That’s a couple years down the line for me. Love mine in the house.
