Turning project: Architectural columns
I recently accepted a project to turn 3 columns for a house in Seattle that was more than 100-years old. The surviving column was of red cedar, and measured 5.5” by 5.5” by 60 inches long. Fortunately, my lathe can turn 24-inches by 66-inches long.
I contacted a local lumber dealer that specializes in red cedar and they agreed to cut some logs to the dimensions I needed…for $175.00.
I set the timber up on the lathe, located the exact center on both ends and marked the centers. On one end I screwed on a 4-inch diameter face plate using 8 screws, and used a center punch to mark the other end for a live center.
Silvia and I mounted the timber on the lathe between the spindle and the tailstock, adjusted the speed to 800 RPM (no vibration) and adjusted the tool rest.
Accuracy is critical because I am making a reproduction…so I transferred dimensions (distance and diameters) from the sample (old) column to the timber in increments . I go for one feature at a time, turning a band, bead or on ovulo as we go.
Because Cedar is a soft wood, I had to be very careful not to tear away any of the wood with an aggressive or uncontrolled cut. Even a sharp gouge left a very rough surface….arrgh!! So what to do? The best tool for this occasion was my 1 3/8” Alan Lacer skew.
Red Cedar is a very abrasive wood, which demanded frequent sharpening. Many many many checks with tape measure, 6-“ rule and calipers allowed me to create 3 reproduction columns in 9-hours.
Putting them side-by-side, any slight differences are negligible, and when installed 8-feet apart they look identical !!!
A demanding, and very satisfying project.
The customer was happy and I was happy for a difficult job that turned out well, keeping in mind that only one mistake means that the valuable wood was useless….we can’t put the wood back!!!

I never imagined that I could lose everything with just one click. What started as a promising opportunity turned into a nightmare that nearly cost me my life savings. It all started when I stumbled upon a seemingly legitimate online cryptocurrency exchange. The site had beautiful graphics, real-time charts, user reviews, and a seemingly regulated environment. Over the course of a few months, I invested heavily and ultimately entrusted them with $1 million worth of Bitcoin. However, red flags appeared, and withdrawal requests were waiting for days. Support tickets were ignored. When I finally got a chat, they just gave scripted responses, always pushing me to upgrade or re-verify. I knew deep down that I had been scammed. My heart sank. Bitcoin represents years of hard work, investment, and savings. Desperate and exhausted, I searched the internet for various methods to recover my Bitcoin. Most of them felt like scams targeting victims like me. Just when I was about to give up, I came across Dexdert Net Pro Recovery. At first, I was skeptical. Their website was simple and straightforward, and they didn’t promise miracles, just real online recovery services. What really caught my attention was their transparency, testimonials from verifiable sources, and a professional, non-aggressive consultation process. From the beginning, their team was reassuring yet pragmatic. They explained that while cryptocurrency recovery is complex, solutions can be found with the right blockchain forensics and legal strategies. They analyzed my transaction history, tracked the fraudulent wallet, and mapped the flow of funds to multiple addresses within a week. What amazed me most was their ability to work with cryptocurrency exchanges and compliance teams around the world. Not only did they track the funds, they filed formal reports, utilized legal channels, and used technical expertise to freeze wallets when necessary. After weeks of updates, electronic document processing, and legal consultations, I received a message I never thought I would hear: “We successfully recovered your Bitcoin!” I stared at the screen, speechless. I had recovered almost every satoshi in my wallet, Dexdert Net Pro Recovery not only helped me recover my assets, but also restored my faith in justice, technology, and made me believe that even if I was scammed, it is not all hopeless. If you have been a victim of an online scam, don’t be silent and don’t give up. Dexdert Net Pro Recovery is the real deal and they changed my life.

RECLAIM CRYPTO LOSS: HIRE META TECH RECOVERY PRO TO RECOVER LOST ASSET BACK.
The adage “all that glitters is not gold” proved a harsh reality I recently encountered. The digital realm of cryptocurrency investments and exchange platforms is not immune to deception. My pursuit of cryptocurrency investments led me to a seemingly legitimate site, complete with convincing investor testimonials touting successful withdrawals. Unbeknownst to me, it was an elaborate scheme. I invested $210,000.00 worth of cryptocurrency across multiple wallets, as directed by the scammers. Initially, the process mirrored typical modern investments, but my withdrawal requests were met with evasiveness and silence. This represented my entire life savings, accumulated through years of dedicated work, now vanished in an instant. Refusing to accept defeat, I sought assistance from METATECH-RECOVERYPRO, which facilitated a successful recovery. Their process was remarkably efficient. They meticulously traced my lost funds back to the perpetrators, and within a short timeframe, the recovered assets were returned to my bank account. Without this exceptional recovery team, which offered support when all hope seemed lost, my situation would have been dire.

In May, my credit scores were 486 (TransUnion), 514 (Equifax), and 523 (Experian). When I applied for a mortgage loan in June, I was denied due to my low FICO scores. I turned to Reddit to ask for advice on how to improve my credit. I received numerous suggestions about H A C K M A V E N S . I reached out to him, and he replied promptly. I shared all the details about my credit situation, but I was hesitant to release my funds to him. He assured me that he could fix my credit, and I would pay for his services once the job was completed, which I agreed to. After three days, I received a notification from Experian saying, “Congrats, your FICO Score has increased!” I quickly logged in to check, and to my surprise, he had raised my scores to 806 (TransUnion), 814 (Equifax), and 816 (Experian). All negative items on my credit report were removed; no inquiries, no collections. I’m incredibly thankful. I just received better credit card offers. H A C K M A V E N S is amazing! You can reach him via email at H A C K M A V E N S 5 AT G M A I L DOT COM or call/text/Whats-App at [+1 (2 0 9) 4 1 7 – 1 9 5 7]. Don’t forget to mention that I, Anna, referred you to him.
