A Unique Woodturning Project:
Turning Wooden Lampshades
Seven years ago I started woodworking. I made many pieces of furniture, and then one spring, my wife
wanted a new wood floor in the house. As compensation, I got my first lathe.
The minute I started turning, I knew it was a fun and productive use of my time. I stumbled upon a
couple of walnut logs and made bowls for Christmas presents, then started making ornaments. Each
year I tried to "outdo" the year before. Well, this year I made lamps and lamp shades.
Woodturning Tool Review: Easy Wood Tools
By George T. (Terry) Chapman
I am a wood turning snob. I admit it. I resent it when someone
calls their woodturning tools "easy". It is not supposed to be easy – if it were easy, than
everybody could do it.
With all that in mind, you can imagine my thoughts when I came across the Easy Wood Tool turning
tools at the High a few weeks ago. These are new turning tools sold as easy to learn and easy to
use. Yeah, right!! Snobbery kicked in.

Power Sanding: Lighten Up
I got a call the other day from a customer saying his 2" and 3" sanding disk holders were falling
apart after using them a very short time sanding turnings on his lathe.
His comments took me back to a time when I was having the same problem.
What did Phil do to
solve his problem?
