Darrell,
Enjoyed the whole page and process. The last picture is out of focus with distracting shadow. Did you get the roughness out of the piercings at the end? Thanks for posting.

I know I have to update the sharpening page. One of these days... Nice work as usual. Will try one for Christmas. We just moved to a new house with a wooded ravine. A large branch dropped from a hardwood tree (ash or bitternut hickory -- not sure which yet -- leaves and bark are too similar for me to differentiate) -- looks like a good use for some pieces of it. :-) -- Will R.

thanks. I will get a better picture of the ornament. That last one was late at night and hand held instead of the tripod. I got a lot of the roughness out of the piercings and may spend the time with needle files to finish the clean up. -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com |

One of these days... -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com ========================== Darrell, Great project, as usual! For a little more "How did he do that?" effect, you can do an internal axis spindle. If you do it from the same stock as the main body, then it looks like all of it was turned from a solid block, and will cause most people to scratch their head for a while. To do this, drill the bottom of the finial to accept the internal spindle, then attach the spindle into the lower "icecicle" prior to inserting through the ornament into the finial which is already glued onto the top. You might need to enlarge the piercings a little to help with this effect. Unfortunately, not my original idea ....... saw it a few years back. Ken Moon Webberville, TX. |

Thanks Ken. Of course for your suggestion I need to want to sit for a couple
of hours of piercing again. Turning is a lot more fun. On the other hand, if I turned the form to 1/16 or less first the piercing would be a lot quicker..... -- God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS Canada www.aroundthewoods.com |

If it's a Dremel type (max 30,000 RPM), then you should look around for a used dental air turbine. They're the same basic device as some of the name brand wood piercing tools, but cheaper, and so much faster than the Dremel, plus it cuts cleaner. Depending on model and air pressure, you can get up into the 500,000 RPM range, so you can get 10 cuts during the same time as the Dremel cuts once. Really reduces sanding time.

TomNie ================ Tom, The high speed drills (handpieces) that your dentist uses are air driven turbines (at least the newer ones are; some may still use a mechanical drive in the under 50K RPM range). The air drives usually use a smaller diameter burr than the Dremel types, and have less torque, but that is an advantage since there is less reaction to the initial touch of the tool to the wood surface. This allows better control and less tendency to "skate" across the wood surface. Dental units can be worn to the point where they are no longer usable by dentists, but can still used on wood. Dental supply outlets also can furnish complete hand pieces or replacement turbines, or rebuilt units. Google "dental hand pieces", or check your local yellow pages under dental supplies.
