If you happen to have technical difficulties, this video is also posted on YouTube. But it is best right here. So stick around. After club demonstrations I frequently like to create my own version. This was the case after a Mike Jackofsky demonstration on hollow forms with tiny hole. I also like, when possible, to […]

For this video, I am joining Richard Raffan, Tomislav Tomasic, and Mike Peace in a 4Ways Woodturning. In 4 Ways Woodturning, we decided on a general theme and each of us creates a project for […]
Read More...If you happen to have technical difficulties, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook. But it is best right here. I got this idea from a demonstration I did for my club. It is a longer story that I’ll tell in the video. For now, why not turn a bud vase using sphere […]

We’ve had to remove it. Replacing it is messy business. However, our club, Timpanogos Woodturners, had a gift exchange. […]
