Wednesday's Wisdom For Woodturners Dec 10, 2014

I did get a little lathe time this week. The A-10 bullet project I posted some time back finally got the go ahead. I turned the bullet from maple and used the specs from a link someone (sorry, forgot who) sent me.

The customer wants two of these but I thought it would be prudent to have them OK the design before making more.

Saw a couple of turning videos posted this past week by various sources. You may find them interesting.

The first is from Woodcraft and Scott Phillips. It introduces some of the tools used in making a round box.

The next is from Tim Yoder and he turns a Christmas Tree

Third is a glueup of plywood and hardwood turned into a bowl. It is amazing the patterns that can be produced by turning plywood.

Not sure why this one won't play here, but the link to the video works??

The last one is a slow motion turning. Not really an instructional video but fun to watch. You may need a Facebook account to see this one.
