Woodturning Supplies

Woodcraft have closed. They had a great selection, but alaw - it's gone. There are some turning blanks (bowl, pen, etc.) at Curtis Lumber - Ballston Spa

What are you looking for exactly? The local Adirondack Woodturning Association meets across the street on the first Wednesday of the month.

Specifically, I am looking for one of those diamond sharpening plates(?) he size of a credit card. They sell for about $15 but I can't find one up here. Anything else related to turning, tools, chisels, etc would be nice, but not wood. That I have enough of for a while. Plus, I don't even know if they would let me cross the border with blanks.

So basically, hand tools.

Harbor Freight (In Colonie, on Central Ave) has similar items

92867-0VGA Diamond Life 4-SIDED DIAMOND HONE $15 36799-7VGA Diamond Life 3 PC. 2'' x 6'' DIAMOND HONE BLOCKS - $15

And something that is new to me:

96218-1VGA Diamond Life 200 GRIT DIAMOND SANDING PAD $10.99 They also have 400, 1500, and 3000 grit

Harbor freight has the cheap HSS chisel set.

He Mike you're in luck, Busy Bee has the 2X6 diamond plates on sale right now for $8.99. Here's a link if you like to take a peek.

The ones from Busy Bee I already have. They don't work for small skews. The holes are too big. What I am looking for is a solid piece of steel, the same thickness and rough size of a credit card.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks. I'll pay Harbor Freight a visit.

I don't own the HF version, but the diamonds aren't solidly across the surface. Check the web page for pictures. Don;t want you to waste a trip...
