rohn2: Bill,
I sure enjoyed your pictures. You have some beautiful views from your shop. Speaking of your shop, looks real nice. I also have the 1220 lathe, and am very happy with it. Your clocks really look nice, and I can only think of the patience you must have had when they were under construction.
A really great site,
Rohn

Roger Hawkes: Bill . Finally got a lathe, Jet 1220 vs . My wife Fay is using it to turn spinning tops. It is quite a learning process . I am finding out the most important part other than the lathe is keeping sharp chisels and how to sharpen them . I dropped in to see what you have for sharpening jigs . I have been using an old belt sander I made from Gil-Bilt . I just finished making a fingernail chisel sharpening jig . I also bought some inexpensive chisels to learn the sharpening techniques .I almost bought the Wolverine system . When I come up with the $ 300.00 plus to invest in the system I may go that way . In the meantime my homemade free jigs seem to be working .

Roger Hawkes: Hi Bill .
Just happened across your site while looking at the mini lathe . I was amazed . Seems you have scrolled many of the patterns I"m interested in. Do you allow visitors to drop by ? I live on Saltspring Island and take drives towards the Kamloops and Nelson area occassionally . Right now I'm playing with baskets . Cutting one in half to see how it will look hanging on the wall . Beautiful valley and craftsmanship .

Cindy Navarro: Bill, I really like seeing the pictures of your shop, as well as, your pens. I am just beginning to turn pens and setting up a small shop in a limited amount of space. I have tried making a hood for my lathe for dust collection, but my first attempt did not pick up as much dust as I anticipated. I am currently working on another design that I hope works much better. I have set up a dust collection system with a venturi that separates the larger pieces from the dust and it seems to work very well. Would you be willing to discuss how you made your dust hood. I get the general idea from the picture, but would appreciate any feedback that you could offer. I don't have a table saw, only a band saw, a mini lathe, drill press and scroll saw. Thanks for any input.

Bruce Viney: This is brilliant!
I like every thing about your site, especially the 3d puzzle stuff. I've never done any turning, although I would like to very much, I simply don't have any space for a workshop.
I'll be coming back more and more!

April 7, 2007 5:21PM
Darren Mullin: Bill, what a fantastic collection of your work. The clocks were amazing. I just started turning about 6 months ago. I have a way to go by the look of your work.

Terry hyde: Hi Bill
Loved your site tour! I am fairly new to turning, pens mostly. I read the article about custom bands for slim line pens. Awesome. I have made some slimlines that look like Euro Designer pens and are being well received at the craft store where I display and sell my products. Lets face it, slimlines can be pretty boring at times. Thanks for the great idea. I hope you don't have a patent on this design or I'm in trouble!! Keep Turning!!

What a nice website. I looked through all your pictures and see that you have created quite a lot of woodwork, all very well done. I am a bit jealous of the landscape around where you live, it must be nice to have such a pleasant view all the time.
August 13, 2005 4:11PM
Pieter Vander Tuin: First thing I saw upon opening this site was "grandpa's open/closed puzzle; I love it. It is just the thing I would like to make. If there is a plan for this puzzle, is it available, and if so how can I get a copy of the puzzle plan.
An admiring guest,

chris stratford: The bandsaw boxes are great. I would love to learn how to make them. Can you point me to a good source to learn. Is there patterns, books, videos??? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and great work.
Chris
January 23, 2005 11:01PM
George: You appear to be a man with good skills. Spruce, in spite of the responses on AAW, turns well green, dries clean in thin section, if you like warp, and presents no particular difficulty to dry in thicker section to be re-turned.
As to aspen, big-tooth is almost bulletproof in drying. If you can get some of the reaction wood from the swooping butts on the edge of the patch, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the figure in the wood.
Now beech - F grandifolia - is a PITA to dry in thick section, and it's not particularly attractive when it gets there. Spalted, it's quite interesting.
