Re. Turning Today
I started out today making a small box. I have it roughed out the way I
wanted and I even turned the lid with a finial(not small but with a shoulder). I even had a second final larger then the first and it wasn't too bad. I decided I wanted to make a lid that sat inside the bottom,like a plug and not over the edge. I fitted the lid into the bottom with a nice tight fit,one that the lid would stay on while I turned the bottom. I wanted to turn the bottom and the lid so that it looked like one piece( in another word the bottom top edge would blend over the bottom edge of the lid) I was shaping the bottom and the lid into curves. I was working forward from the bottom to the lid with small shearing cuts(least I think they were small shearing cuts). I had been using small shearing cuts with the gouge and for the first time I didn't have tearing out. Somehow I got the gouge caught I guess but the rim around the bottom must have caught and the edge of the bottom and broke apart. Other then the gouge getting caught I may have made the lid to large at the bottom forcing the bottom rim edge to be too thin(less then 1/8) and I did not set the lid down deep enough inside the bottom. I had about 1/8 extended out of the bottom rim. How deep is this type of lid suppose to sit down insdie the base? Should the lid be mucher smaller at the base-giving the bottom rim more thickness to set into? -- Harry |
