Natural edge turnings and a gloat (pic)

Bill Esposito, NH

>Hi folks,

The last 2 weekends I've used my spare time to do some turning. The larger piece just has some fresh oil on it and isnt buffed or anything. the spaller is finished on the outside and awaiting my bowl buffs to arrive this week. The wood (I'm told)is black locust from New Hampshire.






Now the gloat...My kids got me this LV scraper plane for my birthday.

>OK, the quarter next to the scraper plane made me chuckle. HAHA! I have that model, too. Its touchy to set up, if you need help search the hand tools forum for a review I wrote last year. Rob Lee had his engineers call me and we worked out a few improvements from the manual. They may be in yours, maybe not.

Nice turnings. My wife would be mad at you for for using all of those paper towels! Me, I'm just a little envious.

>Hi Bill,

Nice stuff, all of them! I really like the smaller piece with the pith running through the center. Sort of like a bullseye or something? Again, really nice. Have fun with the scraper as well, nice tool.

Thanks for the pics,

Mike

Waiting for the UPS guy in Apex, NC....

>Mike,

Thanks. I did a search and cannot find your post on the scraper. Can you give me a few different search words? :) I went back to 2002.

Thanks

Bill

>Nice looking vessels, Bill. The one on the left looks like it was a bit on the hazardous side to hollow (knucklebuster).

Good work.

>Bill, I can't find it either. No matter how I search. The search function doesn't seem to work for things older than about a year, and come to think of it, that review had to be about 18 months ago.

>I did a search of the archive, found a reference to it but not the orginal post. Mike, can you sumarize your findings?

Thanks
