I like the way he cuts it down to size

Wow,
I'll have to remember that link next time someone asks about the jig for cutting the corners off a pen blank.:biggrin:

 

[markgum]

HOLY COW.... now I know how to quickly get a blank roughed down...

 

[LEAP]

But where can I get a little tiny chain saw for pen turning?

Im gonna have nightmares about the chainsaw kicking back and taking off a limb or something.

Nice vase though

I'm with Josh; that did NOT look like a recommended use of a chainsaw.

I'd rather hold a belt sander up than a chainsaw.

But the design is awesome! I love that!

Cool video. Check out his website.

This comment was brought up on the AAW forum, if you look at it though he has the rotation reversed when he's cutting with the chainsaw. So while it's isn't the safest operation in the world, makes his use of it MUCH safer.

I got to try that. I got a brand new Stihl in the garage that is screaming to be turned into a turning tool.

Anyone that uses a motorized cutting tool like that on a rough, unpredictable spinning blank is a lot braver (or stupider) than I am.

I was impressed. I would have been even MORE impressed had he hollowed out the inside

His doors and drawers are REALLY cool too.

I prefer to think of myself as curious.

At least it was an electric saw and not a gas one.....I wonder if he uses micromesh:wink::biggrin::tongue:
