Web Page Update

Greetings all

I have just updated my webpage with a few more shots of work I have done in the past year or so. This part of my page has been sadly neglected, and I am working to catch it up.

For all of you who have been kind enough to write me, especially about the bowl DVD, I have an update. We expect to film it sometime in August, so hopefully it will be ready come September or October at the latest. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions, and am working to accomodate as many of them as possible.

Comments, questions, and critiques, public or private, are always welcome.

You can see my page at

============================== What are you using for the piercing? If it's a Dremel type (max 30,000 RPM), then you should look around for a used dental air turbine. They're the same basic device as some of the name brand wood piercing tools, but cheaper, and so much faster than the Dremel, plus it cuts cleaner. Depending on model and air pressure, you can get up into the 500,000 RPM range, so you can get 10 cuts during the same time as the Dremel cuts once. Really reduces sanding time.

================ Tom, The high speed drills (handpieces) that your dentist uses are air driven turbines (at least the newer ones are; some may still use a mechanical drive in the under 50K RPM range). The air drives usually use a smaller diameter burr than the Dremel types, and have less torque, but that is an advantage since there is less reaction to the initial touch of the tool to the wood surface. This allows better control and less tendency to "skate" across the wood surface. Dental units can be worn to the point where they are no longer usable by dentists, but can still used on wood. Dental supply outlets also can furnish complete hand pieces or replacement turbines, or rebuilt units. Google "dental hand pieces", or check your local yellow pages under dental supplies.
