Lathe Safety
Always wear face and eye protection, even while sanding. You never know when a piece of wood will explode, and the heat from sanding can be enough to do it.
Featured Turning Video
Turning a Half-Twist Bowl
by Brian Horais
In this featured video, Brian Horais shows us how to use multi-axis turning techniques to turn a bowl that has a twisted top and a round bottom. This is an amazing technique that he has developed and is now teaching others. Brian is also featured in More Woodturning Magazine's Meet the Turner profile this month (April 2019). If you're already a subscriber, you'll get to learn more about Brian. If you're not yet a subscriber, maybe now is the time (www.morewoodturningmagazine.com).
Making an Antique-style Baby Rattle
In this project, the late Fred Holder was inspired by a movie to replicate a baby rattle. It had an antique look and after turning, Fred coated it with a non-toxic walnut oil finish.
One of the best features of this tutorial is that Fred shows and explains how to turn captive rings. This technique works well here but can also be used on almost any type of spindle that you might be turning.
