Alan,
I agree with Dan on turning a series of beads. Just cut between them as
deep as you can with the skew tip and the dippers will be fine.

Ruth and the ? (hmmmm)

OK, I feel really stupid asking this, but please, cut a newbee a break.
I've
tried twice with two different parting tools to make a honey dipper, and
it
still comes out looking awkward. After the first one, I realized my
parting
tool was a bit wide, about 3/16 of an inch. So I tried one a little
thinner.
I'm trying to get five cuts separated by the width of the tool in about
1-1/2 inches. So far, I've only gotten 4 cuts. Should I be looking for a
parting tool that's thinner yet?


Hi Alan,

You have a couple of options, You could get one of the 1/16" parting
tools, or you could just turn a series of beads, and forget parting
tools all together.
