1. Use a silicon spray on the lathe ways for ease of banjo adjustment.<\/p>\n

2. File your toolrest smooth with a file and then sand with a fine emery paper to ease tool movement.<\/p>\n

3. Round the edges of the skew. This will help when rolling over the tool when making beads, etc.<\/p>\n

4. Create collars out of pipe at varying popular lengths. Use these to quickly adjust the height of the toolrest by sliding one on the toolrest shaft.<\/p>\n

5. Ensure that both your headstock and tailstock are aligned with each other.<\/p>\n

6. Add a spacer between the chuck and the headstock for ease of removal. Use either a leather or brass ring as the spacer.<\/p>\n

7. Use silica sand to deaden lathe vibration. Create and attach a box to your lathe for the sand so that the sand can move around. Do not use just bags of sand draped over the lathe legs.<\/p>\n

Notice was made that there will be a NWG woodturning competition on January 08, 2008 at our local Lee Valley. There will be three levels of competition, beginner, intermediate and open.<\/p>\n

There will be an a series of seminars and events surrounding this competition as well.<\/p>\n

As always, it was a great meeting with knowledge gained.<\/p>\n
