Check out these two post from Steve to learn more about how these are done Unfortunately, there was a "catch" during the turning process as Steve explains here- A couple of weeks ago we had a post asking our preference for either a Longworth chuck or vacuum chuck.

Some manufacturers sell the tools without handles, which reduces the costs. Tools with round shafts are fairly simple to create handles by drilling the correct size hole. But, what about the tools with square shafts? Sam Angelo has a solution- Looking for a project that can help you advance your skills and learn a few new ones? Check out this ornaments from Carl Jacobson. Using a jam chuck can solve a lot of "How do I hold this piece".

This is another review of the CBN wheels from the Ukraine company https://www.uksg.tools/ Everything Else- Want to thank @kmealy for sending me this YouTube video from Stumpy Nubs. Keith knows I love Celtic Knot patterns. Stumpy's video shows an easier way to glue up a Celtic Knot rolling pin. It's pretty cool and his diagonal cutting jig is really easy to make/use. The only thing I would caution on is to NOT cut the square blank completely through. By separating the blank and gluing the insert will cause the overall blank to "grow' in length on each successive rotation. this will cause the "knots" to be out of alignment. Here's the video- Safe turning

I have been in my scrap bin again and made some ear rings again. These will be Christmas gifts if my girls don't see them first. The longer ones aren't for everyone, but my daughter loves them. I have struggled and worked at getting my pictures on this web site. Total failure until today. If I convert them to JPEG, it works fine. However I must export them to a file and they automatically become JPEG which works fine. I even did the searches and Utube thing and they didn't"t mention exporting.

I am just now becoming familiar with it. Does anyone care to educate us further on what it is, how it works, and why you do it? Thanks!

I had a piece of spalted apple and it had some terrific designs in it. I added rings of Yellow Hart and Blood wood to give it a cool look I didn't turn the inside, I bored it instead. The spalted apple wasn't strong enough to fool around with and I was afraid it would break or tare out........ruining my vase -
Finishing up the first of 4 drawered jewelry chests and want to make the smallest drawer into a ring drawer. How do you guys construct ring holders. I'm thinking foam wrapped dowels but, is there a better method or product? Thanks for your help.
