Spinning Through the Wood Pile

Very nice Chas, it is surprising how many configurations you can come up with when making these segmented pieces

Trying to get the variation with the minimum of change in process Derek judging by that piece and another glue-up in the pipeline I need to take more care with stock preparation and cutting accuracy, drifted off into the 'what if' mode rather than watching the preparation detail.

An assemblage of left over pieces (spares) just to see what came out.
Usual CSS & Buffed to Microcrystalline wax finish.

I prefer this one to the last one(nothing wrong with the last one just personal preference) especially the bead detail around the outer top part.
Managed a bowl today will post tomorrow when taken some photos

Still turning out amazing pieces. I loved the first one, the contrast in the inserts are beautiful.

Love you turning....guess it gives an great sense of achievement!
Especially like the ones with lids!
Thanks for posting.

This afternoons effort, same basic theme;

Not that it's over apparent in finished item but spent a bit more attention to component preparation & clamping to get better assembly control and reduced the turning process needs & time.

Following a request during the local Village Hall craft sales funds raising event on 30th. Nov. for some additional items, I have managed to season some blanks and to get my act together.

Three nice toothpick holders.

Glad to see you back at turning after your short break

 

[CHJ]

Three more, hopefully that will be enough, there's not enough time for me to stage the turning to meet the dimension control this side of Christmas.

 

[CHJ]

….. hopefully that will be enough, ..

That was a vain hope, better get some more rough turned blanks sorted to dry out ready for the new year.
Time for some variations on the theme and a bit more definition on process control I think to cut down on the production timescale.
Batch production can be therapeutic but the risk of reaching a boredom threshold needs to be negated as much as possible.

At least you are getting some workshop time. I am feeling terrible and don't want to play with machines at the moment

Sorry to hear that Derek, hope you can get the mojo back with a bit of Christmas cheer.
Turning time is going to be limited with the chores that keep cropping up related to the time of year.
Spent seven hours today for instance helping with the preparations for and serving of 3 course Christmas Turkey meals for 50+ at the village luncheon club, no doubt will be shattered tomorrow after finishing off with 2 hours feeding the industrial dishwasher, suspect it will be easier to find something else to do rather than resorting to extra heater time to make things comfortable in the shop.

I will just be glad when I feel like getting into the workshop. I have so many ideas running around the inside of my head at the moment especially as all I am doing is sitting here the mind does not stop thinking of new ideas.

Braved the cool workshop to get another oddment out of the way.
