spindle turning with template
I mostly do faceplate turning, and have been asked to
do some spingle turning. This is for a science fair project my department is doing on speech, and I'll be turning spindles with iregular shapes to help model vocal tracts (we'll use them as a form to cast clay or plaster hollows from, then play air through them). I have a printout of the shapes (based on measurements of human vocal tracts during vowel production), and am planning to transfer them to templates I can use to check the turnings against. I've never done this before. Any tips? Any websites with walkthroughs of using templates with complex curves (i.e. marking out the blank, etc/)? Thanks, Andy Barss |
