Just for fun

[Dalboy]

While I decide on what effect to add to the flower creation I am working on I thought I would start something and post it here when finished it will come under the heading of "Other Things We Turn Or Make".

I will not say what it is lets see as I progress who can see what it is, today I started by preparing the wood and this little pile is what I have so far the larger pieces are 3" square and various lengths the smaller ones are about 1 1/4" square. There are going to be five all together when they are finished. Also a photo with some story sticks to make things easier for me.

Have fun everyone

Looks like you're gonna make shavings Derek.

 

[Neil Lawton]

Oh God it's one of those!

 

[Dalboy]

Oh God it's one of those!

Be afraid there is more than one Neil

If I am thinking right, I am sure they will make a nice sound when they are finished..

You are just to organised Derek, having your story sticks tired together, you will be missing out of the fun of being pissed off and all the frustration of losing one and not being able to find it.

The last couple of hours work, some of the little spindles turned to the correct diameter and marked out. This is all of this one done now onto another 10 for another part of the completed item. They all need to be remounted to drill holes and turn some detail

The picture on the lathe is just how I measure my spindles to give me a guide to get the correct diameter

Keep guessing as I progress

Bagpipes or miniature church organ....

 

[Dalboy]

Got the other 10 turned down to 1" the same as the first lot and also marked up for the second component

tHe theme continues I fear for the health of the power board already filled in part by whatever another foot or so to the left would help mate.

[wm460]

Got me buggered what they are.

 

[Dalboy]

The project continues Well there are five in total.

I managed to turn all down to the main diameter of all of the components. I have completely turn 4 of the 5 parts of one of the components which I have photographed.

There are only two more parts to make one is a base and the other is some ply

 

[Macaronytony]

Got me flummoxed....

Could be cryptex, if there were a few more differently shaped parts
Saying that, with a few more parts it could be anything you decided :wink:
