OK, you had your fun at my expense (actually I love it) but this is where I live:

Must be out in the desert somewhere. Curtis is right. If you want to "experiment" - the SA Family Store (or other thrift stores - to include your local Habitat for Humanity Store) is a great place to pick up an old table or other piece of furniture made of wood to cannibalize the wood from and "play" with it in your shop - all at a very reasonable cost.

When there is a will there is Always a way! Wood is expensive, (even fire wood?) there are no donation centers around you. There has to be a good source of some kind of turning meteral in your area. I've read a lot about alternative wood turning , One man used alabaster, (this is the stone that Gypsum / drywall is made form.) another man uses Epoxies and what ever he can find. (corn cob, pine cone, coffee beans, even paper money...) A lot of my turning supply's are used furniture part. ( Old table legs,and or table tops,) as well as Shipping pallets, Things that I can pick up that people no longer want. Ernie Conover wrote a book called the frugal wood turner. I just had to by the book. ( just because of the name.) I am a Frugal wood turner... ;-) One of my favorite turning meterals is construction grade Plywood. One the lathe it is not one of the easiest woods to turn, but on the Legacy it turns nicely. (note make your last cut/cuts very light to get the best results.) The good thing about wood turning is, you have a world at your disposal, You just have to at times, Think out-side the box. have a good day. C.A.G.

Hi Curt Kudus for your continual experimentation. I particularly like the upper right in the fourth photo, the spiral design. I wonder if you have a rotary table and could do a similar design on the inside of the bowl? It might be more visible and show off your fine craftsmanship better.

Now this will change when Her Majesty passes on and Charles becomes King Charles the Third, or if he dies before Her Majesty, then we get King William the Fifth. How can someone sell four bowls for $5.00, seems to me that they were made off shore in a very low cost economy? Cheers from a very sunny UK. Roger PS The Salvation Army is one of the few charities that I actually support. From: MWF Received: 06/05/2018 01:58:56 +01:00 To: [email protected] Hello Curtis, Thanks for sharing. I am happy to see someone else patronizes their local Salvation Army Family Store. It has become a "recommended place to shop" for us. They often have some "Real Deals" (sometime brand new - or almost so) - as you have discovered - and very reasonably priced! I think you idea to buy that set of bowls is BRILLIANT! (For those that speak the "King's English" - that means a very smart/intelligent decision.) Have a Wonderful weekend.

Hello Everyone here is today's project, I use the soft touch approach to mount the bowls on to the Legacy. I am always suggesting to PLAY as much as you can, and to use Cheap wood. Well today I went out to the Salvation Army store and bought 5 bowls for $4.00. So since I did not spend a lot of money, or time making these, I was able to do some things that I normally would not have done otherwise. I am hoping the pictures will describe all the details, But if you/anyone has any questions, Please ask.
