ChJ, did you use an accelerator with the super glue?
...

No John, never had the need to use any, or buy any for that matter.

I don't like those Chas :shock: They look a bit weird to me :shock: Especially the one with the bulbous middle :shock:

The one 3 posts above is rather nice though and the colours of the timber work really well together.

Those knobs look nice Chas

 

[Bodrighy]

I've only done a 1/2 dozen of these and they drove me nuts, copying and getting them the same. You have done a much better job than I did by the look of it. The ones I had to do were stained so I had to try and match that as well..

Must admit I wondered how they would go, I started these about 3 this afternoon after having a rout in the scrap box for some suitable bits of oak and a scan of the pattern and scaled printout to fabricate a cut-out template, in the end though template was not needed other than to note the aiming diameters and length points.

Basically turned to major diameter, marked length guides, reduced sections to prime diameters, blended curves down to meet.

So Chas please list the tools I would need to match your output.

I would love to be in your league.

.

You just need the tools the lord provided, a couple of bits of shaped metal to help with the cutting and some practice John. The latter is the most significant.

Remember I have turned out in excess of 1000 bits off the lathe since I started playing, non are masterpieces, most are mundane, but they have honed an ability to set about a task with a good chance of succeeding.
