A Few Steps Ahead Of You
I had a bunch of scrap wood laying around, so i glued a bunch of it together (laminate) i just glued the backer board on last night, so i will try to spin one tonight. i will take pix of the process and update the thread as i go.
i have only turned pots out of solid stock, so we will see how this laminate thing goes. if it works they are going to be sweet looking!!
i used popular, walnut, cherry and one piece of Purple heart.
first my sloppy shop....
I glue a piece of stock to the back of the pre-spun pot so i can screw the head of the lathe into that rather than screw it into the piece itself! it might be some extra work, but it seems to hold just fine
a closer look....
Ill prly make a few striker ends out of this.....
Thats where im at so far,
Ill update this as i go, and hopefully be able to show you all a finished product in a week or so.
