ACHIEVE IN MINUTES
WHAT TAKES MOTHER
NATURE DECADES

You could wait years to obtain that weathered, reclaimed look,

or do it yourself in minutes with Varathane. ®

Save some serious time and turn to Varathane’s

Weathered Wood Accelerator. In minutes,
the innovative formula reacts with the tannins in
the bare or untreated wood to bring that desired
weathered look to any project. Proving our
only true competition is Mother Nature.
Don’t just finish it, Varathane it.

 WOODTURNING
Tips for Buying a Used Full-Size Lathe
By Ernie Conover
There are bargains to be had in second-hand lathes if you shop wisely.
U
sed full-size lathes
come on the market
because of cross-coun-
try moves, downsizing for
retirement or an estate sale,
and scoring one of these can
offer a significant savings
over buying it new. Older ma-
chines that have seen some
use can go for as little as 40
percent of their new value. In
2015, I bought such a lathe
from a good friend who was
preparing to move into an
assisted living facility. An avid
turner, his paragon machine
was the Oneway 2436 shown
above. He called me to see if I
22
knew of a buyer. My immedi-
ate reply was, “Yes, me! How
much?” We settled on $3,500.
At that time, a new 2436 went
for about $8,000 shipped.
What a deal!
While it was a stroke of
good fortune, my opportuni-
ty actually wasn’t rare. It may
take some patience, but used
full-size lathes are fairly com-
mon. You have to accept the
machine as-is and without a
warranty. But not a lot goes
wrong with a lathe, and you
can plug it in to make sure it
runs before closing the deal.
Lathes are also easy to fix —
August 2020 Woodworker’s Journal
replacing the bearings and
belts will often make a used
machine run like new again.
If you’re in the market for a
full-sized used lathe, keep the
following factors in mind.
Envelope and Build
Your first consideration
should be the lathe’s overall
capacity — its “envelope.”
My Oneway will swing a 24"
blank over the bed and hold
a piece 36" long between
centers. Most full-size lathes
will swing at least 16". Think
about the kind of work you
want to do, and buy a used
lathe that will satisfy your
turning goals for the future.
Any full-sized machine will
weigh 400 lbs. or more. The
more it weighs, the better,
because that density damp-
ens vibration during turning.
Some older machines are
built almost entirely of cast
iron, and several current
models, such as Powermat-
ic’s 3520 and 4224, are still
made that way. Other full-size
lathes use welded-steel con-
struction, which has some
advantages. It allows smaller
batch size and customization.
For example, Oneway will
add stainless steel ways to
their lathes for an added fee.
More commonly, con-
struction is hybridized:
welded-steel bed and legs
with headstock, tailstock and
banjo being cast iron. All full-
size lathes will have either
cast-iron or welded steel legs.

and is offset to avoid fence opening the center of the bit

Also works as a height gauge

for bits and blades

Half round notches register your

measurements to the center of
1/4" and 1/2" shank bits

Rockler Router Bit Center/Depth Gauge

Quickly set your router fence a precise distance from the center of the bit—ideal for dados and flutes. Also works
as a height gauge for bits and blades. Notches measure from center of 1/4" and 1/2" shank router bits. Use the
notchless portion to measure to the edge of the cutter, rather than the middle of the shank. 12" long steel ruler
with metric and imperial measurements.

 Carved Dough Bowls
By Rob Johnstone
Inspired by treenware from the past, these
carved bowls are an enjoyable afternoon’s
effort. Their use is up to your imagination.
T
ime and time again in count-
less antique stores all around
the United States, I have been
drawn to various styles of dough bowls.
Bread-rising bowls are long sections
of wood, scooped out to form a trough,
often with rounded ends. As you can
imagine, years ago, bread-making was
an everyday task for poor and work-
ing-class families of all stripes. Bread
dough can be sticky, so a baker would
rub oil or butter on the surface of the
bowl to stop it from adhering to the
wood. Additionally, many bread recipes
have a fat component — butter, lard
44
or an oil of some sort. All those appli-
cations of fat to wood created a lovely
“finish” on its surface and a gorgeous
patina. Even decades later, that smooth
finish is still apparent on the antique
dough bowl examples I’ve found.
Most of the antiques I’ve seen were
made of maple lumber, although during
my travels through southern states I
have also found many made from what
appears to be long-leaf pine. I have
always assumed that this ubiquitous
treenware was made from local trees. I
would love to find one made of chestnut.
I am not sure why, but the local and
Based on antique bowls that used to hold bread
dough while it rose, these three versions are
made from green blanks cut from discarded
boles of local hardwood.
individual manufacture of these items
has increased my enjoyment of them. In
the practical world where these essen-
tial products were made, form follows
function. The similarities between all
the examples I’ve seen is remarkable.
The occurrence of everyday at-home
bread-making is never going to be as
widespread as it once was. But if it ever
comes to that, I will be ready. However,
these bowls can certainly have other
uses, and their practical beauty can
enhance many decors. For that reason
I set out to make a few of my own,
inspired by examples from the past.

I
’ve been a woodworker and a fly fisherman for years, so it
was probably inevitable that sooner or later I would build a
bamboo fly rod. Inevitable, perhaps, but not necessarily a
walk in the park. It cost me a fishing season. I broke rods long
before they left the shop. I made rods that worked better as
tomato stakes. I fried one rod to a crisp. I suffered epoxy fail- The author uses a heat gun to bend bamboo and get rid of its nodes

ashamed to show to the world.
A bamboo fly rod is made of six strips of bamboo glued
together to form a hexagon. The strips are triangular in
cross-section, and since the rod tapers from handle to tip, the
triangular strips taper, too — the triangle is bigger at one end
of the strip than the other.
All of this is done in three stages: First, you rough out a rod
blank, splitting the bamboo stem to stern, kiln-drying it, and
then planing it into long triangular strips — a set of six strips
for each section of the rod. In the second stage, you taper the
triangular strips with a block plane and a special metal form.
Then you apply glue to the pieces and clamp them together
by wrapping them tightly with thread. On a good day, it’s a
piece of cake. On a bad day, it’s worse than getting skunked
on the stream. Far worse. The final stage is applying the At this point, a couple of minor adjustments are required.

 A Custom-Built Rod-maker’s Plane
At some point early in your rod building, the edge of your plane will dig into the
planing forms you’ve just spent a small fortune to buy. Everyone does it, and
no one likes it. But special rod-maker’s planes give you the control you need
to avoid gouging. They have a groove milled down the middle, creating two

triangles on a jig in the planer. The planer jig is a simple oak
auxiliary table with 60˚ grooves routed into it. Battens on the
bottom fit snugly against the front and back of the planer bed
to hold the jig in place. Each groove is slightly shallower than
its neighbor — the largest is about 3/8" deep and the smallest
is about 1/16" deep. I feed all the strips into the first groove,
flip them edge for edge, and then feed them into the next shal-
lower groove. I slowly work my way down the table until I’ve
planed the strips to the exact size required by the rod.
Like any piece of lumber, your strips of bamboo need to be
kiln-dried. This not only drives out water that might haunt
Clamping Up: Rod-maker Style
The strips that make up a fly rod aren’t going to clamp together with
even the best clamps, so rod-makers clamp them with a shop-made
jig (designed by Everett Garrison) that binds the pieces together in
taut, spiraling

outside “rails” that glide along the form. The groove travels over the
bamboo, and the blade extends just far enough to do its work without
cutting into the planing form.
The only rod-maker’s plane on the market is a beautiful piece of work,
but you’ll pay for it. Instead, I made my own by routing a groove along
the sole of an old block plane first, then on a good one I currently use for
this task. I used a 5/8" straight bit in my router table and set the distance
between the bit and rail to 1/2" — the width of a rail. Raise the router
bit to make a cut about .001" deep. When everything is right, take the
blade out of the plane and run the plane across the spinning bit, holding
it tight against the fence. Turn it around, and make a pass with the other
side of the plane against the fence. Raise the bit and repeat until the
groove is .003" deep.
you down the road, but it also tempers the bamboo, turning
what would otherwise be a soft rod into one with backbone. It
doesn’t take long — about 10 minutes at 350 degrees for the
butts, and slightly less for the tips. I use a heat gun, combined
with a couple of heat ducts — one inside the other — with lots
of insulation around the outer pipe.
The heat gun shoots heat down the outside duct; it rises
into the inner duct at an even temperature. I use two meat
thermometers, one at the top and one at the bottom of the
ducts, to monitor the temperature.
using a toothbrush to spread it over all six strips, which are lined up
side-by-side on top of a piece of masking tape. You roll the pieces
together and then run them through the binder. A drive belt made of
kite line turns the rod and moves it forward as upholstery thread, fed
from above, wraps tightly around the rod.
The fishing weights hanging from the drive belt determine the pres-
sure with which the string is applied. On a tip as tiny as this one, as I
discovered, the weight of anything more than the pulley
is enough to snap the rod until you get a good 10" from
the tip. At that point, I add a 12-ounce weight. I use a
16-ounce weight on the butt section. Once the rod is
wrapped, you remove any twists, and then roll it under
a board, a J-roller or both, to straighten
it. I set it under weights on the planing
form to keep it aligned while the glue
cures. There will still be minor twists
and bends when the glue dries, but you
straighten them out with gentle heat
from the heat gun.

Lever caps are an integral component of both
the Bailey and Bedrock plane configuration.

planes. But in general, the
Stanley numbering system is
used by most plane makers
— Record, Clifton and Bench
Dog. See the chart on the
next page to get a feel for
what the numbers mean.
Okay, we’ve talked about
the numbers, but what about
the names? Here is a good
way to come at it. Bench
planes are, under the
Stanley numbering system,
numbers #1 through #8.
There was a time in our craft
when the workbench was the
center of nearly every bit of
working with wood. Working
“at the bench” meant the
same thing as our broad
term “woodworking” today.
For that reason, the main
woodworking planes were
called bench planes, because
that is where you used them.
And use is a major factor in
how plane names developed.
In that vein, smoothing
planes are bench planes
used primarily for smoothing
a piece of wood. So generally,
#1 though #41 ⁄ 2 are smooth-
ing planes, even though #1
and #2 planes are too small
to be useful for smooth-
ing anything larger than a
hockey puck. Planes #5, #51 ⁄ 4,
#51 ⁄ 2 and #6 are jack planes,
so called because they are
“jacks of all trades,” in that
they can in some ways do it
all for both smoothing and
jointing tasks. I tried to find
documentation for the “jack”
terminology, but could not,
but the versatile nature of
jack planes is well document-
ed. Often when an expert is
asked which plane a person
should get if they will only
own one plane, their answer
is a #5. It can do it all.
Within the jack plane
group there are a couple
of anomalies. For example,
when a plane has a fractional
number, say #41 ⁄ 2, it would
seem that the plane should
be a little bigger and wider
than the #4. This is true for
the #51 ⁄ 2 when compared to
the #5. But the #51 ⁄ 4 is actu-
ally narrower and shorter
than the #5. It was made for
school kids, and why it was
not called the #43 ⁄ 4 or “school
kid plane” is anyone’s guess.
You will also see #6
planes sometimes called
fore planes. This is a term
brought over from Britain.
Fore implies that it is used
before you use a smoothing
plane. Plane expert Ernie

Molding planes were manifold when plane bodies

were mainly made of wood. They reached their
zenith with the advance of the combination plane.
