This is a comment I made on the Australian Woodworking BB in reference to giving turning a try- thought it would be good recording it here as well. You can still do some pretty acceptable work on a $99 GMC lathe. May not be the highest quality lathe, but for the occasional turning job for [...]

Introduction to Safety Week on the Wood Whisperer Network 2008 A quick introduction and discussion about personal safety equipment, not only using it, but ensuring that the solution actually works for you so that you actually use the equipment when needed, rather than leaving it sitting on the shelf as being too cumbersome or uncomfortable [...]

Some stage soon, that will include going through the shed and disposing of some unwanted tools (including my GMC lathe, which always surprised me in how well it worked for a [...]
