Time to start Xmas presents

[Masonsailor]

I finished one more turning today. The wife reminded me of someone I had forgotten. Oh well. Mad cow disease ?

I found some glass rounds that we must have ordered a while back so I cranked out a pie stand. I’m continuing to use the black walnut scraps.

Nice!  The glass adds more class to an already classy piece.

This morning it was decided that another platter/pie stand was needed so I cranked out another one this morning.

And it has nothing whatsoever to do with having a new lathe sitting there?

[Masonsailor]

Well there is that

Yes, you have a nice lathe, much better than a Shopsmith. However, you always did exceptional work on the SS.  But, they are not as steady as a regular lathe.  Good for small spindles or something that is basically rounded.  Longer spindles will vibrate after rounding.  But, it is a good tool.

 

Paul, I expect after your adjusting curve, you will only refine your talents and products.  These pie/cake platters are stunningly beautiful.  Thanks for sharing.

Paul, the ice cream scoop in the original topic, how do you secure the scoop to the handle? Thanks

[Masonsailor]

It has a long threaded 3/8” shank and I epoxy them in.
