Got the angel ornaments done.  There is 30 of them.

 

 

 

 

Started with an inch and a half square blank, turned it round and measured two inches for the body and three quarters inch for the head.

 

 

Drilled a 5/8" hole in the bottom 3/4" deep and hollowed it out some to take some weight off.

 

 

Turned the body.

 

 

Shaped the head and cut the ornament free.  Turned it around and put it in the chuck to sand the top of the head.

 

 

 

 

For the wings I put another same size blank in and rounded it off and cupped the end.  Also measured off for the width needed.

 

 

 

 

Shaped the front of the wings and left a 3/16" stud to glue into a hole in the body.

 

 

 

 

 

Parted it off and set up the drill press to drill a hole on each side of the stud and took them to the scroll saw and cut a "V" for the wings.

 

 

 

 

I used halos and caps purchased at the craft store glued together with Goop glue and held them on with a small brass eye and attached a hook to hang them with.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the finish on all done.

 

 

very impressive Dan...

not to mention gorgeous..

Great tutorial, Thanks!

Very nice Dan.  Who are the intended recipients?  Friends & family or do you sell them at craft shows?

Very Handy Dan 

 They look great Dan. Thanks for the lesson.

Great job , must be lots of gremlin helpers in the shop. Great idea on the caps and crowns . Wish there was a crown with a wire so it would stand above the head.

Every year I make two dozen of these games and take them to the volunteers at the Akron Children's Hospital.  I will do the same this year but I want to give these angels to the volunteers for their holiday.

 

Very well done, beautiful.

Dan, this is a very nice thing you are doing. I appreciate the tutorial, maybe I will try and make some myself. 

late to the party on  this one. Saw it but thought it was an earlier post. Outstanding work Dan and with a great picture step by step! Thank you!

Superb Dan! Not only the ornaments but the thoughtfulness for the intended recipients!

The tutorial is great too.

Thanks for your time all around!
