  • Be careful with rosewood. Don't breathe the dust or get it on your skin. Some people are VERY allergic to it. I was out for two weeks with flu-like symptoms and skin rash on my chest and arms and neck and my face was all swollen.

    And like an idiot I did it a second time thinking "eh, what could happen?"... -same result.

    BUT !!! I love this video and it has helped me a lot. I think I will stick with Maple and Cherry though :)

  • I was just wondering what size of rouging gouge and spindle gouge you find best for the bottle stoppers.

    Thanks

  • Well done video... Thanks

  • Both bottle stopper and presentation are professionaly done.

  • Really nice work. Where can i get the chrome bottle stoppers?

    It's pricier than it needs to be, but there's not a lot of local competition for wood.  Look around online for wood dealers. Amazon Exotic Woods is pretty good. I use Midwest Woodworkers when I'm in a pinch and need something quickly for a job, but I use the web for better prices and no tax.

    It's actually a chuck that threads onto the headstock of the lathe. It's just called a bottle stopper chuck. I've looked at the ones that fit the taper, but really like the security of being able to thread right to the machine. I've also looked at the collet chucks, but they are pretty pricy and less versatile.

  • @sampane thank you i am actually much closer to omaha then i am to des moines but do you think the stuff at midwest woodworkeres is too expensive?

  • @TheFishingschool

    I go to Midwest Woodworkers at about 148th and Center in Omaha. More recently, though, I do my shopping for supplies online. It's usually a much better deal. Seeing as you're about halfway between Omaha and Des Moines, you should check out the Woodsmith Store in Clive. I make the trip once a year because they have a great selection of interesting stuff. If you haven't been there, it's a great trip.
