Turning Small

Have you ever given miniature turning a whirl?  Best way of getting rid of the very small scraps.  It is fun too.  Here is a couple I have done, let's see yours.

now those are impressive...

I was pretty impressed with the first one, but when you showed the chalice sitting on the key - HOLY SMOKES!!

 

Can you call an item that small a chalice? I always thought, although maybe incorrectly, that chalices are large.

That is for when you want just a drop.

That blows me away Dan. Ive got a scrap box you could keep busy for many years making things like that.

Dan maybe you have been listening to John Lucas too much. I would need a BIG magnifing glass for that. The hollow form is cool

John does play with them from time to time.  Haven't seen anyone post any in a while.

These little birds are about the smallest thing I've done but they are pretty straight forward skew work. Still, it's a good thing my lathe will spin 24" so capacity wasn't a problem :)

I have to agree with Gerald, my first thought was about some of the stuff John Lucas used to post on WOOD. You're right there with him IMO.

Very cool!

I need a set of wine glasses that size, it will slow my wine stock when my sisters in-law are here.  Great looking pieces.

I turned those on my Delta 46-460 using standard tools.  I do have a Unimat hobby lathe but next to never use it to turn wood.

Thanks, Dan, for a great idea.  Now I know what to do with some scraps rather than burn.

Inspired by this thread, right before Christmas I got busy and glued up a bunch of scraps for future projects.

That has to be one of the best ways to use scraps.  Those are quite nice and look to be a great tool to have around.

WOW!!!  Scraps or not those are fantastic.
