Late Christmas Gift GLOAT :D

[Dario]

LOML gave me these for Christmas...well 2 of them she had me order myself [😀] and the last one just arrived yesterday.

1. Beall collet chuck system (still waiting for delivery of the last collet for "B" mandrel) (from WoodChips)

2. Standard McNaughton coring system (from CSUSA)

3. Hollowing tool with captive ring and laser. (from Monster-Wood-Tool)

Of these 3, I am happiest with the hollowing tool setup. It is extremely well made and I got extra bits FREE [😀] (helped that I know the maker/owner from another forum).

The boring rods are all 3/4" and works well with the Don Pencil handle which I luckily purchased (and collecting dust) for months now. This product is highly recommended (they do have cheaper tools starting from $34.95).

I also rearranged the shop and made a few jigs like bowl steady and a steady rest for deep bowls, vase and spindles. Not yet finished but pics will follow.

Needless to say...I am psyched!!! [😀]

For the picture police...proof that it did happen [😉]

Dario,

Wow! You really went all out. Is the little lady expecting some very large vases? You are going to have your work cut out for you with all those nice tools.

Congratulations.
