Howard Rheingold

Poplar-Walnut-Alder bowl I turned for my grandson.

@evan Thank you. I love the warmth of polished wood.

@hrheingold I'm sure he will treasure it. That's completely lovely.

@hrheingold very nice. Which make of lathe are you using?

@hrheingold Ha! I was just looking at a second hand variable speed 15 inch Jet on OfferUp. They make a very good product, worth every penny. Back when I was building RC airships in the late 80s we had a big metal model for turning a single part we couldn’t get local machine shops to make for us at a reasonable price. (But I had to hire a machinist to run it.) We had some problem with it and they actually sent a consultant up from Miami to solve it, gratis.

@hrheingold Howard that is an amazing piece of work.

@hrheingold Absolutely gorgeous. Lucky kid indeed.
