First picture left row are my favorites. @Az Turnings, tell your buddy that made those pots...good job. They turned nice with no problems.
Looks like you used some of the bear's claw maple I paid you to take home.
Yes I did! I want to get some dyed. I dread hearing the cost on that Tiger maple if you find it.

FWIW don't think the CA would have stopped the cracks. Once the tension in the wood can "unwind" it's going to happen.
The cracks are in the sides with the grain,they were my fault 100% it has become my catch all bowl on the table.
I did nothing in the shop...I went to SWAT instead.
Ya just had to rub it in, huh, Ray?? ... ............. Jerry (stranded in Tucson)

As I read this—- eating a late dinner in Temple on the way to Waco. Then see the sights tomorrow.
Hey man, I have a cousin living in Temple... My ex mudder in law was from Temple.. There's flint around Belton Lake. My cousin had a boat vehicle accident when the lake started drying up. Launched his boat, and backed right into a submerged car.... Tore up his motor. That blew his day of fishing......... Jerry (in Tucson)
Since I'm pretty much done with the Sprunger Brothers 8" table saw restoration - just need to align things - I started on the next restoration today. A Sprunger Brothers 10" bandsaw. Hopefully I'll get a chance to clean all the parts with Simple Green in the next few days, then into an Evaporust bath to remove rust. This is a stout, well built little saw.
Well I’m pretty sure I would never get that back together.
Oh, this one's easy. My first machine restoration was probably the most challenging of all the machine restorations I've done, am working on, or have in queue to work on - a Delta 24" scroll saw. A lot of various parts to that one. A big key is to take lots of pictures during disassembly, which is something I've done that has helped me on my various restoration efforts thus far.
Yes I’ve used pictures. Pictures are good.

I left the center part rough to be able to grip it in the shower.
I made the mistake of clicking on the link you posted. Poor Brink. He should never have gotten the ridicule. Shame on all you animals for picking on him. Hey, do I sound like a snowflake?? ....... heheheeh
Heh heh heh heh.....
Pickin on him? Rip was saving him!! He can ignore us, he has to live with his wife; imagine what he'd have had to listen to if he'd given it to her, with Christmas spelled wrong. She might have cut off his after work, shop refreshments too.
