It's February again and I'm scrambling to get organized for a gift for my wife for the Valentine holiday. I would like to give her something that is personal, made specifically for her and will be something that she'll appreciate.
As I started my search, I decided that I really want to make some type of jewelry that would match one of her favorite outfits so she would wear it out and show it off.
After looking around, I like the idea of a bracelet and found this photo tutorial by Mike Stephens.
In this tutorial, Mike shows us how he makes a woman's bracelet. In addition, he embellishes the bracelet by adding layers of contrasting elements to create a "Polka Dot" effect on the bracelet. This makes it very unique and therefore special.
Mike shows some examples in corian but he also shows how it can work using different varieties of wood.
These bracelets are lovely turned pieces and will make a wonderful gift. Maybe you'll give them a try...
If you've also got a good turned project idea, please let us know!
Or if you've got any project tutorials that you would like listed on Woodturning Online web site, please drop us a note!

A high tech fix for a bad photo
Larry Marley regularly creates new videos for woodturners to learn new projects and new techniques. He was recently struggling to get a good picture of one of his turnings, like many of us and decided that it was time to work on a solution.
So, Larry worked on building an inexpensive and easy-to-assemble photo tent. He is now able to get great photos using using new photo tent and a set of lights from a big box store.
Larry is now showing us how he built his photo tent and giving us a recipe to build out own! Check it out!

Imagine that it's sometime in the future and you could control your lathe while standing 30 feet away. You could turn the lathe on and off or even control it's speed. Now that's a futuristic lathe!
But wait a second you can do that today! Yes, Teknatool, the manufacturers of the Nova line of lathes have released this functionality today!
This exiting functionality uses a wireless RF control device that you can wear like a watch or magnetically attach to your lathe!
This new remote control system is now standard on every NOVA DVR 2024 lathe and retrofit kits are available for older NOVA DVR lathes.
