Leo has nearly finished the Lathe set-up for making the end grain plates. He demonstrated how the plates were turned down to a final thickness of about half inch.
Learning point: Buy 5-minute epoxy at Dollar Stores very cheaply. It can be used to fill defects. Use oil paint..just a tiny dab...to color the filler.
Jewelry box cylinder: make the staves at least 7/8 thickness; glue them into a circle. Leo discussed various ways to do the assembly so as to be able to separate the two halves easily. Cut a recess on booth inside edges to allow the end pieces to fit in.

Discussion on bit sizes: units, letters, numbers. Use the vernier to get an exact measurement of the end of the drill bit when the information is worn off the other end.
