Woodturning Scoop Series – Double Scoop

Double Scoop

Best place to view this post – right here. If gremlins attack, try YouTube or FaceBook.

I am exploring turning various scoops of styles or types. While a double bowl scoop is not that different than a single bowl scoop, it is fun and there are some complications with the handle. This scoop is a fun conversation turning.

The scoop is about 8 inches long and 2 inches in diameter, finished with shellac.

    Hi Alan, sorry your lathe is down, I have 20″ model 3520 A. (love It) I was having problems with it. I contacted Powermatic. after many tries. they recommended buying a new inverter box. (900.00) ouch. I called all around and I couldn’t find any buddy to fix it. So, I bit the bullet and ordered one. The problem with the new inverter box is the price and the delivery time. I started it back in June and it didn’t receive it tell Dec. They pushed the delivery time back many times they said it was coming from China. I told them to bring their products back to US. I didn’t have any problem installing it. It’s been a good lathe. I bought it back in 2004. I like your show, keep up the good work. Bill Foster

    • Yes, I am afraid I need a new inverter. My lathe dates back to 2000.
      The more complete story is that the shop replaced the switch on trip 1(okay). Then found a intermittent break in the remote switch on trip 2(okay).
      When remounting the HS, it fell, smashed the fan & cowling, and mangled the inverter.
      I managed to pound out the cowling, bend the fan to be usable.
      But the inverter…
      I bent back the 12 pin seat for that control thingy and plugged it in again. It is working.
      Then duct tape to the rescue wrapping it around the inverter.
      Yes, I will have to replace it.
      I understand that there are many inverters than can work, just need the codes and adapt it to the lathe.
      We’ll see.
