Thanx Bill Grumbine

A few weeks before Christmas I was watching the "Turned Bowls Made Easy" DVD. My Wife was half watching ( or so I thought ) and I commented how nice the finish turned out on your bowls. Well we were opening gifts on Christmas and sure enough my wonderful Wife got me the Beall buffing system

This morning I rewatched the DVD and headed to the shop to buff up a few pieces. They came out beautiful. When I showed them to my Wife she loved them. Then she asked, " what kind of lathe does Bill use.!!! Could there be a Poolewood in my future !!!!

Thanx

Hi Randy

I am glad to hear the DVD got you some goodies for Christmas, and that the Beall is working out well for you. The bad news is, Poolewoods like mine are no longer available unless you want to pay two or three times what they cost new, since they are now collector's items. ;-) The good news is, we are getting ready (and have been trying for some time now) to shoot a second video. In it I will be featuring my other big lathe, which is a Vega 2600 bowl lathe. It is current, and made in the US of A.

Hi Bill

Sad situation with the Poolewoods. But really glad to hear the new DVD is moving forward. I'm really looking forward to it If available I'll make sure to have a copy for hints for next christmas ;-)

Good Luck with the DVD.

Hey Mac

I agree , Bills my new role model !

The Beall buffs are a pleasure to work with. I think I'm gonna need to try out the bowl buffs.

Me, too...

It's a shame to have a small bowl or goblet that is so pretty on the outside and not buffed inside..

I got the goblet buffs from another company and was really disappointed in them.. now shopping for the real (Beall) thing..
