    I wonder if Titebond 3 would seal better.

  • @RickTurnsWoodturning

    If I recall correctly, Titebond 3 is significantly more expensive that regular Titebond. So, being economically minded (i.e., cheap), I didn’t test it. 😃

    To answer your question, the blank stays in the drying box until the moisture level is about the same as the ambient moisture level of a chunk of wood sitting in my shop. Or until the day to day weight loss is about 3/10 of an ounce.

    Great review. My company has been at work on a PAPR with an all in one design monocoque manifold. Our aim is a PAPR that's more accessible to the DIY crowd. When we have certification, would you be willing to give it a try to compare? Its called MicroClimate Air3.

    Excellent and really subjective review, thank you Really pleased to hear your comments, as I ordered one this morning to replace a really old ( and somewhat temperamental ) Record RP3000 chuck. I would really have preferred to get an SC3 as my lathe is a lightweight Record Coronet from way back with a 3/4in x 16tpi thread, but the SC3 has a fixed thread size, so not future proof , and if I do get a new lathe, it will certainly have a bigger shaft thread, probably the M33 that's on the chuck body. Record do turn out good stuff, I changed the bearings and belt on the lathe today after 30 years of use, all of which were in fact in perfect order.

    Even if you double or triple seal the ends, a log left outdoors won't last very long without developing some splits. If you're leaving them outside for sitting, I'd say don't bother sealing them.

    You had the bar in the center hole of the lathe not the three Jaw Chuck. You need to progressively cut and back off on the thread tapper to clear the tool and prevent the bit jamming Rather basic I think.

    thank you for the video. Question about boiled vs. unboiled linseed oil. I prefer the unboiled, as does my friend John< He's a pro, I am not. Are there any specific reasons why one would prefer one over the other, or is it just personal preference. I prefer the way unboiled cures.

  • @RickTurnsWoodturning

    I’ve never used unboiled linseed oil. What I’ve read about is that it never dries. Sounds like you’re getting better results than that.

  • @thomasgronek6469
    @thomasgronek64699 ай бұрын

    thanks for responding. The big fear of oily rags, this is it, , , it does polymerize, and that is what causes spontaneous combustion. I takes forever to dry, it does eventually cure. I concocted a multi-ingredient finish which included unboiled linseed, bees wax, and shellac that took 3 weeks to harden, that was 8 years ago, and it still looks fine, and is quite resistant to water and other everyday use ( it is a saya I made for my guyoto). so it is exposed to relatively adverse conditions@@RickTurnsWoodturning

    @RickTurnsWoodturning11 ай бұрын

    As soon as possible, turn it! Sealing the ends of the log slows the moisture loss from the end grain but the wood can still split. So roughing out a bowl or something is the best option.
