For Turners

As others have done so generously with me, I am happy to share ideas, resources, references.

MUSTARD MONSTER SITE  My principal lathe is a Powermatic 3520a.  I have accumulated a large number of tips which I maintain on the Mustard Monster Site.  These tips are mainly the contributions of other PM3520 turners, ideas I have scrounged up from the internet and compiled.  

Note: The manual for the PM 3520a (older model) is now on the Mustard Monster site under "Manuals"
Note: The Caster Mount Drawing is now on the Mustard Monster Site under "Moving, Delivery"

GOLD COUNTRY WOODTURNERS   A  chapter of the American Association of Woodturners serving Nevada County, California and nearby towns.  Seven of us local turners hooked up and founded the  chapter.  We share our skills and ideas, teach, and welcome new turners.
