Christmas Wish Lists...

[John Grace]

Well...it's Black Friday with shopping madness beginning. To that end:

• What would be on this year's Christmas list?
• Is it a replacement tool/machine/accessory or are you looking to take on a new technique?
• If technique what are you trying to learn?

cheers all...john

That’s a great question. I’m in a family secret Santa group and found myself surprised that I was having a hard time coming up with tools I “need” 🤣. But I’d love to upgrade my studio from a cold basement this winter to something with windows and heat. That would take a Christmas miracle though this year.

I already ordered my present. I'm just hoping it makes it here in time for Christmas!

Will need new tools to go with the updated spindle and tool rest sizes.

Santa has hidden a new Ellsworth 5/8" signature bowl gouge for me.

 

[Karl Best]

Yet another Vicmarc 120 chuck to reduce the number of times that I'm swapping jaws.

 

[Charles Cadenhead]

On my list is a new 200v outlet for my (new to me) Powermatic model 90 lathe. I'm going to pick it up in a couple of week so it will be here by Christmas.

Probably a D-Way 1/2" spindle gouge to replace my current stubby one from years of sharpening!

 

[John Walls]

On my wish list? A class from one of our pros in a warm climate for the winter!

I purchased a Nebula some months ago...let me know what you think and/or if you have any questions.

For what it's worth...if you do vacuum chucking, the Nebula is can easily use the Hold Fast vacuum chucking without any additional add ons.

If you need a vacuum adapter for the backside of the headstock, however, let me know as there's only one place in the country that manufacturers one and that's because I paid them to do a 'one off' for me.

Enjoy...j

I've got tons of things I "want" but they all start at ~$100 which feels kind of high for my pool of potential gift givers. I could certainly buy a lot of them my self, but it feels like there has to be some kind of restraint. Like, x number of $ a month, or else what the hell. It's not like I could buy $1k worth of tools and then be "set". It would just keep on going. ugg.

Wife and daughter always give me a trove of nice blanks since I started turning 4 years ago. Always a good Christmas.

The log has a big split! Who's going to turn that?

That's pretty common with all the manufacturers I think. Well, the ones that get their parts from China and assemble here, anyway.

 

[Kent Reisdorph]

My list:

• 3M Versaflow or similar
• Coring system
• Hollowing system (Trent Bosch probably)
• Hollowing visualizer (could just make one)

Hopefully it's still under warranty

I upgraded to the Versaflo several years ago...it's fabulous, you'll like it should it show up
