I am looking to make drums out of gourds. Stick fast is a brand that most gourd crafters use but I was wondering if this would work instead?

If your gourds are good and dry and you have a good surface to glue to. I would think that it should work great. Let it set after gluing for a good 24 hours for the glue to thoroughly dry. Let me know how it turns out.

Hi, I have not used this wood burner for gourds, but I have used it on delicate bark, thin wood, and both hard and soft woods. I think it would do a nice job on gourds because it has a temperature control dial that allows you to have the right temperature for the job at hand.Good luck and happy burning.

It is okay for most applications, however, I found it did not last long enough to maintain the "bite" needed for fiddling. I suggest you try something "softer", but watch the residue build up. You could try a cello rosin. I haven't tried it yet. I use Bernadel violin rosin, and like it very much.

I ordered this for cake decorating, not for fruits or herbs. I would think it will mince the rind with a few rolls as the blades are set wider than required for minced rind (which I have not heard of since the rind is bitter). If it's for the peel than a micro plane is the proper tool to use. This is my opinion.

I've had gourds for many years and gourds are absolutely the way to go. Martins keep coming year after year and are wonderful to watch and listen to. Put them up in early February.

This is the beginning of my 2nd season owning Gourds. So far I have had many scouts over the last month or two, at least from what I am observing. If I could keep the sparrows at bay then I am sure I would already have martins making their nests. The quality seems fine for the gourds and they are easy to clean. There are obviously finer quality available but so far I would recommend these.

I'm a beginner using air dry clay to practice. The wheel works really well. Eventually we all need a kiln but the air dry clay is good initially if you don't have one. Something to aspire to!

Very nice product. Works for many applications. Using in gourd designing. Delivered quickly, priced well.

I bought a new 8" variable speed grinder, a Norton HSS grinding wheel and the Vari-grind 1 was my choice for sharpening bowl gouges that are Irish grind. Check out any one of the many sharpening videos on U-Tube to that use this jig to get a good idea of how it works.

Not unless you have 2 hours. It get's clogged up constantly. Tried on Squash and it was a disaster. I am going to get something better for this.

I use a skinning knife with a rounded point, but for processing it works great. The blade is not very flexible, so if your wanting to butcher small game or fish the regular model would work better. The handle gives you a good grip on the knife even when covered in blood and slime, better then any i have ever used and Clean-up has never been a real problem. They are scary sharp and easy to keep that way with a little 600 grit wet/dry paper and a leather strop or belt. Mora are some of the best working knife I've ever used (and I've used a lot). I also do the hot vinegar to all my Mora's tho it is not needed (search youtube for hot vinegar patina). Buy a few, you won't be sorry.

I use Golden Harvest, & Gambler pipe tobacco with this machine. Again it takes getting used to when filling the hopper if you stuff it to tight it jams. So you learn through experience how much tobacco is enough. I need to use the tapper that comes with machine to pack the hopper. If done right you will get consistent results. But this in my experience not a speed machine it just takes the crank motion out of the equation. I hope this helps.

Yes...There are many assortments of sand paper from Bosh and you can use other brands as well. I like the Bosh paper best so far. The Adjustable speed also is easy to use.

You won't chop paint as long as you keep your eyes on if you want the cheaper route and use non electric hopper. However it'd be kind of dumb if you didn't run an electric hopper because if you don't you're not using this marker to its full potential. I use a dye rotor.

I used it to cut 20 gauge metal pegboard, so it should have no problem with gourds.

I don't know as I haven't tried on gourds. However, I don't see why not. Sorry. Best I can do.

Milk Nut bags or Paint strainer bags from Home Depot are a must. Just YouTube how to use them. They are both the same bags just called different names but they absolutly will strain all the pulp and you will have straight wonderful juice! And on a side note, none of these masticating juicers, juice well without hard vegatables, none of them! I own this one and the Hurom Slow juicer and without carrots, beets, and or cucumbers you will find it hard to juice the leafy green for any long period of time. 5 mins into it your juicer will clog and just do foam, but if you have carrots or beets it will help push them through!
