I was pleased with how it turned out and more importantly my client was very pleased.

As I’ve started turning bigger items on the lathe and also started power turning I’ve felt the need for dust collection at the lathe and also an easy way to clean up all the wood chips. I have a dust collector, a Harbor Freight, but it is already hooked up to more machines than I got a vacuum pump!! I’m real excited about it as I’ve been wanting one for a long time. Out of the blue a friend of mine said he had picked some up at an auction and did I want one. I’ll be swapping some nice bowl blanks from Zambezi Exotics in return.

Initially I was cutting the veneers with a utility knife and ruler. I decieded I needed something more accurate and efficient. When I think accurate and efficient, I often think of my table saw. The following pictures show what I came up with.

They are for lathe work and accept radius carbide cutter inserts. The tools are made from some 1/2″ x 1/2″ x I finish my pens and most other small turnings with spray lacquer. I built this spray booth to try and control the over spray, make it easier to handle the items while spraying and give them a dust free environment to dry in.
