Jim brought his jewelery box, which was turned, inside and out.
Leo Demonstrated how to turn the end piece so that it can be fit in properly.
A jig is made from a plywood rectangle.
A plywood disk the same size that your end piece needs to be is roughly turned and then screwed to the end of the rectangle.
The sander is used to sand the disk to the finished size.
This disk is then finished by glueing a piece of sand paper to it.
This will provide a friction grip for your work-piece, which is placed on the jg and sanded to the exact fit.
The job is done in two half-circles.
Leo also demonstrated how to do a “serrated” effect on a bowl.
The bowl is rough turned.
A burr tool is used to create a band of serration around the top.
The lathe speed has to be very slow to allow this.
Then rub a dark brown stain into the serrations.
Allow to dry and then turn the bowl making clean edges on the stained band.
