This is also on my list of things to do. Can't wait to see what others ideas are. I want to do something that will double as a WorkBench. My wife and I are always working on something anyway. I want it Simple Strong and stable.

Thanks for this. I didn't know. I'm usually happy with my final finishes, but I'll give it a try to maybe save a step or two.

Thanks for posting. I hadn't seen this before. Pretty pricey - a kit at Amazon of "bottom coat" and "top coat" is $172.50 for a quart of each. Also, according to the comments, it is very toxic when being applied and may not work for some applications.

  Drilling on the Lathe

I'm a new turner and I have just naturally put my drill chuck on the tail stock end of the lathe. I have seen that some mount the chuck/bit on the head stock end - why?

Thanks



I put the drill bit chuck in the tailstock (as you do it).

That way the work piece is held in the same way as it is held when you are turning it.

Unless you are using a threaded rod to hold the Jacobs chuck in the MT, it can come loose. That is bad and is a reason for me put the Jacobs chuck in the tailstock and to keep one hand holding the chuck into the spindle as I drill.

  Faithful Tools ???

I may be prejudiced, but you are much better off with vintage Stanley planes if you are on a budget. Dunno what tools in particular you have in mind. Cheap is cheap. The pricing of modern makers like LV and LN tell you right away what new quality planes cost to produce.
