@@Nubsnstubs great, ty and better late then never :)

Peter, what rest adjustments are you talking about. It's been over 4 years since I did this, and haven't watched the vid to understand what your comment is about.

Chris, it is a dowel making tool by Veritas. I made the post and slide that fits on the ways with the dowel maker attached at center. The head where the wood goes into is the Veritas Dowel Maker the you can purchase from the following link. www.leevalley.com/en-us/tools/brand/veritas This tool is designed to use with an electric drill, but I designed it to use on my lathe. ...........

Thanks, mimithefifi. As I said, that's what shirts are for. Actually, I normally use a towel, butt it was behind me and I didn't see it. Thanks again....... Jerry (in Tucson)

yeah, that was what I noticed, too. Getting hair caught in a lathe can be deadly, especially on larger lathes and metal lathes. More horsepower or geard down more. But turning your back on the equipment when you have a ponytail is risky; tuck it into your shirt at least. And hair gets closer to machinery than you think it will. Also, long sleeves, watches, jewelry, drawstrings can get caught. Even pockets if you get too close (someone leaned over near the back end of the headstock). . And 3/4/6 jaw chucks and lathe dogs are really good and grabbing things. Sandpaper also can wind around the work and pull you in.

Tyler, I could have made comments about my missing fingers, but I didn't want to gross you out. Now, if I was talking about why I lost them, all I can say is, If you like your fingers, DO NOT GET DISTRACTED. KEEP YOUR FOCUS ON THE JOB AT HAND.

Thanks. Have you subscribed to my channel. If you have, thanks again, if not please do. .............. Jerry www.woodturnerstools.com

Oohhh Yesssss, it happened. If you go to the Explosion video, then your comment would be more appropriate there. Thanks for commenting, and please subscribe. I'll be putting a lot more videos on my channel. Stay turned....... Jerry (in Tucson)

That was my plan, Kevin. Check out the next video. Same piece of Cholla, but hours apart....

Thanks, Gerry. I'm glad too. One thing to note is when you get about 3/16" thick on a piece of Cholla, it's pretty much weightless. The piece still in the chuck is where most of the weight is. I'm glad it stayed in. ........... Jerry

Not making cores just to make cores. The blades were what the ancient peoples were getting from the cores. Instead of making one biface blade from the rock that was the core, I could make over 100 arrowheads, and several very sharp blades pulled from that core..

Zoes Dada also these blades can be used in things such as uniface arrows, macahuitl swords and simple scrapers

Thanks for your reply, Valerie. What I should have done at the beginning in setting up for mounting was drill a hole at centers on each log. Then I should have unscrewed the center screw on the Chuck Plate, and bring out the center point on the live center to fit in the hole on the log. Once each end had a point into the holes one each end, just tighten the tailstock, and I would have been done... When I'm not explaining how to do something with my tools, I'm much faster than what the video portrayed. I made the jack a coup[le years ago, and certainly didn't have the issues I had in this video. Thanks for watching this video. Subscribe to my channel if you like.......... Jerry

Thanks ole buddy. I'll keep that in mind next time I lose something............ Thanks for watching....... Jerry

Hey Lou, how you doin', Buddy..My breeding tool is kept away in a safe place, but my beading tool is open for public viewing.. I posted a video years ago on woodbarter when I first got my carbide version of it, or it's here on My Channel. You will have to look for it.. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)

Thanks Rick. The TSS is my invention. It was invented in 2012, got the official Patent issued in 2016, and have a bunch on hand. I've done over 500 pieces so far, and lost only three in the first week of testing my prototype back in 2012.

Do you sell the TSS? I’m interested.

Yep, sure do. I sell them through my website www.woodturnerstools.com. You might be able to find my site listed in some of the other videos also. ............ Jerry

Thanks, ken. I just wish my videos weren't so long winded....... I've also been using dowels to span cracks lately, and have had pretty good success. There might be a video in my channel, but not sure. There will be one pretty soon, though............ ... Jerry

Andrew, send me your contact info, and I need specifics. Size, length, weight. gmwoodworking78@msn.com is my email. ............ Jerry

Nubsnstubs sorry busy week. Ill get that too you as soon as i can.

Hey there, did you ever get my email?

Chris, I can't say as it came with the Powermatic when I got it used. The numbers on the side are 2048, but it must be obsolete as Oneway doesn't recognize it on their parts page. The height from the ways to the top of the post hole is 7 5/16 ". About 6 months after I got this lathe, I saw a video by a guy named Carl, can't remember the last name, but he highly recommended getting a Oneway banjo for any lathe you have. He also had a Powermatic using a Oneway banjo. It's a well engineered banjo, and well worth the price....... Thanks for watching my video. ............. Jerry

I hear you, Mark. And a sincere thanks for the kind words. My story and I'm gonna stick to it; I just got frustrated by how my suppliers work here in Tucson. Way back as far as 1978, when I first started my woodworking business, when ever I wanted something like a brad point drill bit, I'd drive out to the hardware store that specialized in providing these tools. When I told them what I needed, they would look in the book, (well before computers), and the most common response was, "We just sold the last one yesterday." Even the most common things were not available. Always had to order the parts/tools and have to wait a couple weeks, plus pay the cost of shipping for the "special order". Today, with all the computers available, it's the same thing. I go into the supplier, (I'm not talking Ace, Lowery's, H.D, or Loews), but a real industrial supplier and they have a few, but can't get anymore from "their" supplier. The screws on the Chuck Plate is a good example. I have to buy them, and then turn the points. Takes a bit of time, but turning points on 1300 1/4" diameter screws is time consuming and extremely boring. Every time I want something, it seems I have to make it or modify an existing tool. It frustrates me some, but common sense dictates I overcome my current issue..... Now, if I can get more long Allen wrenches, what I will do is heat them just below the bend and bend it to create a better handle much better than the 90 degree bend supplied. Gonna be in SoCal in November. Looking forward to a visit. .

Whitefolks, I was totally aware where that cord was at all times 'cept when I caught in it my banjo handle..... Yo buddy, Jerry

...remember jerry.....i'm too far away to take you to the hospital for the NEXT time.....kev

Is that you, Whitefolks???????

of course.....who else would know your proclivities that got you your screen name...! HA !
