Jeeze, half way thru June already! Our Patriot Turners- @RustyFN showed us a new vase he is turning. I really like the shape on this one. Check out his post for all the positive comments- As so often happens, a new turning requires an additional piece of equipment. Rusty's vase project needed a Steady Rest. The one he built looks awesome- Here's more and some comments- @Masonsailor created a beautiful base for a protective glass globe. The entire project displays a prized possession As always, Paul's post contain informative images about his processes.

In this video, Carl Jacobson show a neat way to install the inserts from Ruth Niles- A bowl turning video from Alan Stratton. What I found interesting in this one was the faceplate jig and the safety measures used when reverse chucking with the mortice. Not sure if everyone can view this video from Lyle Jamison, on Facebook. An interesting method of assuring a reverse chuck maintains the original centerline axis. https://fb.watch/dFPTsQz-05/ Expand Your Horizons- Several of our turners have made "gnomes" in the past.

I've been asked to make a floor-standing display case, maybe 30" tall. I'm guessing it needs to have tempered glass??? I've only ever used single-strength window glass for picture frames and small wall mounted cabinets.

As a vet, veteran's projects are very special for me. Recently, I was given the honor of building a display case for the widow of a recently deceased Korean War vet. He purchased a pillow case when he was in basic training and never gave it to her. She found the unopened box after his death and I received the privilege of building a case for it. It was pretty much free gratis but it sure was an honor to do it.

My optometrist is also a good friend of mine. When Mike was in college at Indiana University (Go Hoosiers!), he joined the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. The fraternity members are also known as FIJIs and their fraternity pin is in the shape of a diamond. After graduation, Mike stayed with the fraternity serving in various capacities and currently serves as a regional offical. He also collects FIJI pledge pins so he recently asked me to build a display case for him. The walnut case will be split to create a lid and there will be a black velvet pad in the bottom. The case is sitting in a stand but may be removed so that pins may be added or removed. If yo're wondering about the odd angle which the case is sitting, there is a reason behind it. According to Mike, a FIJI always wears the pin so that the point faces over his right shoulder and he wanted the case to be designed with that in mind. The display has been a challenge but a blast to build because of all of the weird cuts. The picture makes it look out of whack but it is symetrical. More photos are forthcoming. I'm waiting on hinges.
