Sawdust Everywhere
Приєднався 29 кві 2021
My wife named my little business when she got a bit frustrated that I kept tracking in stuff from my workshop on my shoes, my clothes, my hats, my hair... " Aaarrrggghh, there is Sawdust EVERYWHERE ! "
and so it began a few years ago.
I make stuff. It's mostly wood turned on my new Harvey T-40 lathe, but also tools and accessories for the lathe, furniture, and other useful stuff for around the house. I'm also the cook in our household and bake sourdough breads, cook pizza, and use my smokers to make some pretty tasty stuff. I also have started dabbling in drawing.
The artistic part of me sort of encroaches everywhere and I hope you enjoy the results here on this channel.

Lathe Steady - my spin on a wood lathe steady rest
My version of a Lathe Steady made from 1/2" baltic birch plywood, 2" office chair wheels, and 5/16" hardware.
I tried to keep it more compact than most designs by pivoting the wheels. One wheel is always near the spindle centerline, either positioned towards the front if I'm working on a bowl or positioned towards the back if I'm working on a spindle. This only requires reversing the entire device on the bed of the lathe, an easy operation.

How to convert a Harbor Freight 1x30 belt grinder to DC variable speed reversible for sharpening
Переглядів 17 тис.3 роки тому
Converting a Harbor Freight 1x30 belt grinder to DC variable speed reversible. This makes it easier to sharpen tools without overheating them or removing too much metal. The video has slides and audio that explain the details of the entire process of conversion and then videos showing it in use. A belt grinder is one of the simplest and easiest motorized ways to sharpen! I use it to sharpen all...
Wood Lathe drive spur removal made easy!

Why use a knockout bar to remove the drive spur? A Steelex insert nut, a washer, and some judicious grinding makes it easy. 1-1/4" x 8 TPI/RH Steelex D1102 1" x 8 TIP/RH Steelex D1098

Harvey T-40 Walnut Bowl 03May2021
Переглядів 3 тис.3 роки тому
I make a walnut bowl from a very rough and cracked blank using my Harvey T-40 lathe. I talk about design changes along the way as I maneuver around the problems. This video also shows the power of the machine. A 1 horsepower rating scares some folks off who think they need more power, but this shows how well this lathe can handle quite a large cut on a very hard, very dry piece of walnut. This ...
Harvey T-40 Lathe Review
Переглядів 2793 роки тому
First impressions and details about the Harvey T-40 woodworking lathe from http:www.harveywoodworking.com. This 14" x 24" lathe is built for the serious woodturner!
Excellent video. This deserves far more views.
D-Way. I do believe this is the first video I've watched (and I've watched a ton) where an independent turner credited D-Way. I have several D-way tools (as well as tools from the other usual suspects). In my opinion, they are fine tools. If looks are worth anything, Harvey lathes nailed it. 😉 That was an interesting turn. I'm on the fence as to whether I would have completed it. Good show! Thanks for sharing!
How’s the machine going so far?
Never having seen the lathe in person, looking on their site the drive bely appears to be miniscule in cross section. They say that it was designed so that the belt could be changed without removing the spindle. Is replacing the belt a common event with the 40, or am I just dreaming up things to worry about? With their hp claims for the motor it might be something to consider.
Great video! Thanks. I’m going to spend a lot more than I want to a make it back in labor.
Thanks for this! This may be a stupid question but Iam I correct in assuming a VFD will not work with this HF sander?? I am looking for a variable speed sander for woodworking, picked up this 1x30 beauty assuming I could use the variable speed controller but before I sink any money into that I’d like to know if it will work. Thanks in advance for your reply!&
I’m thinking about buying one of these any suggestions/hints etc? Thanks
I still like it. As with all tools it takes getting used to. There are some tiny things that if I were designing it I would do differently, but that's about all.
Reverse, lie it on it's back then the belt runs away from you
But then the jigs would be annoying to use, right?
None of my high dollar lathe tools has never touched a belt sander and never will
Super high end knife makers use belt sanders. A high end lathe supply company sells a belt sander. It's just a different way to sharpen, not better and not worse. Whatever works for you that you're willing to use as often as necessary works.
I would have put that piece in the wood stove. I guess some people like to turn 'challenging' pieces... Anyway, I am curious about the motor on this lathe. It came up on the AAW site and there was a video about it having a 1 hp motor that works like a 3 hp motor, which sounds funny. I have lots of experience with 2 and 3 hp lathes, but not this servo type motor. Any comments?
I would have put that piece in the wood stove, too, but it taught me something, maybe. It takes some time to get that muscle memory of where the controls are on a new tool, so even if that's all it helped teach me, it's good. I had an old Craftsman supposedly 2 hp lathe and still have a 3/4 hp Turncrafter. The Harvey motor control is vastly superior to both of those. The Craftsman took longer to recover speed and the Turncrafter just stays slower until you let up the tool pressure. The T-40 speed doesn't change much at all until it gives up. I try not to go there, so guessing that spot is difficult. Of course it's annoying to be in the moment turning and then have it shut off, so I stick with less hogging cuts. It turns stronger than the old 2hp lathe, but I'd need to play on more current 2hp and 3hp to give a better opinion.
Fantastic guide, thank you for taking time to film and document the build! And I have right donor scooter n my garage :)
This is so cool! I want one!
Wow!!! Thank you so very much for taking all the time and effort to share your system with us all. You are amazing!!! This is exactly what I need to sharpen my tools and knives and I am ordering parts right now. I am waiting for the harbor freight march spring sale to get my 1 x 30 unit. Do you have a wiring diagram of how to connect all the parts? I am pretty good at putting things together but electricity really baffles me :-) Thank you so much! JP
You happen a link for that DC motor?
My man! This was a great vid tutorial and showed just enough for what we just need something like that. Plus you touched on very important subjects especially ruining the temper of a knife or utensil! Very nice build with the retro fitting with the motor, forward/reverse and the speed control was it for me! Stay safe and thanks again for the time and explanation of that great build!
I may come back to this video later for parts lists if I get a 1x30, but in the mean time I noticed your tools catching on the blocks a bit. If you take some melamine edge banding and stick it to the block it will add a nice almost friction free surface to rest the tools on, should help clean things up a bit, unless you have fixed that problem since of course.
How I can get pdf version?
Nice set up! I just got one as well a 1” by 30 belt sander. I would like the plans as well. Thank you.
I would love to see a walkaround/review of the 40 if you have time.
ua-cam.com/video/tuOUuCs-jmw/v-deo.html <<< that's my walkaround on the Harvey Woodworking channel.
ONE OF THE VERY BEST videos on working with the 1x30 belt grinder. thanks for the patience and explanation of different types of hand tools.. The speed reducer certainly is a plus .thank you. the schematics look like the work of an engineer, very useful.
Wow, thanks!
Do you have this DC motor plugged into an AC wall outlet? Sounds like you do when reading your parts list. I want to see if I can power this grinder from my solar setup. Plug it into the charge controller for power.
The DC motor is plugged into an AC to DC converter power supply.
Great video. Love the sharpening system. Recently took a motor out of one of those vibrating exercise plates which I think is just be right for this. I've build a lathe tool sharpening system for a 2 x 48 but it doesn't handle the micro turning tools that I got with a vintage micro lathe I just bought. The guy I bought it from happened to throw in a 1 x 30 grinder, so finding your video may be serendipity. I feel a build in the pipeline. Thanks
Very nice. Well done. Not that simple to build for most of us but a very needed setup for sharpening knives. Speed is a killer 😎
Good job, you get a gold star.
are there any plans available? By the way I just received my Harvey T40 last week.
I just purchased this sander, and am using a small 5A variac to control speed on the rare occasions I need to. Does anyone know what type of AC motor is on this sander...and if it's possible to reverse direction with something similar to how the polarity will reverse direction on a DC motor?
Reversing direction of most all AC motors is not simple.
Wow. Amazing work my friend!
Thanks a lot!
AWESOME! You must be an engineer, clear, concise, extremely detailed. (Takes one to know one. If your not you should be.) Thank you so much. Love the sharpening guides. I will be doing this to my Delta version of the 1 x 30.
Thank you so much!
So this would be for any tool sharpening correct? Like knife making and the works? Also what is the max and min rpms?
What would happen if you abruptly hit the red OFF button while it's turning at a high RPM with a big bowl blank on it?
I was curious if you could make the presentation available to us to download via PDF? I'm very interested in doing this project and really like what you have done!
I went ahead and ordered the parts for the conversion and am following your lead on this - should be fun to build and get it running for my setup.
I have a PDF to send out. I watermark the recipient's name all over it so someone doesn't try to sell the plans.
Great video. I'm considering a T40. Have you done any outboard turning on it? If so, how was that in your opinion? Thanks for sharing.
I received a TurnCrafter Commander KWL 1018vs for Christmas. It seems like a pretty good deal for the money for a beginner. Not as many options as yours though.
Hope you are having fun and learning a lot! My other lathe is a TurnCrafter 12" . The Harvey has dramatically more power.
I have an old Black and Decker belt sander somewhere collecting dust. I'll have to see what I can come up with for it! Just started turning and need a sharpening system. Thanks for sharing.
