Pegs, Pulls and Practice
Been making some bonsai display tables and haven't turned anything
in a while. But part of the project required turning a pair of small rosewood "feet"to fix a screw up -make that an "oversight" - aka a Thinko (the mental equivalent of a Typo). http://home.comcast.net/~charliebcz/...aiStands5.html It's amazing how quickly the eye/hand coordination / muscle memory drops of if not used regularly. So I cut up some scraps - maple, mahogany, padouk and some mystery wood and turned a small boatload of pegs and pulls. Didn't take long before the rusty muscle memory came back for the skew. With a slight curve it's one handy tool. From now on I'm going to keep a chunk of wood chucked up and ready to play with - while the glue or finish dries on a project. Always handy to have a few pegs and pulls around - there's always stuff that needs to be hung up or something that needs a pull or knob. charlie b |
