Since my transformation to a Rotationiste, the
artistic flood gates have opened and the pieces
are appearing as if by magic. Maybe I'm channeling
a deceased spindle turner. The latest creation
is The Rings of Redwood aka The Dancing Rings, the
third in my Paradox Series. Took maybe and hour.
With a little more practice I could probably get it
down to maybe half an hour.

Haven't found a pair of clogs yet but saw a great
monocle.

Ebonic, huh? Nice bunch of exercises you've got there! So, the rings
are loose on the spindle? That's some interesting work. If I'm right,
you undercut 'til it falls off the spindle? Does it freak you out a
little when they cut loose? Just thinking about it gives me a bit 'o
the willies. Okay, here's the straight line: What kind of saw do you
use on a monocle? Tom

Well you got the undercut part right - but the final
cut through was done wih the lathe off and the piece
turned by hand while the long point of the skew
severs the last bit of wood. I do the undercutting
at the lowest speed on this lathe - 500 RPMS which
comes out to 8 1/3rd revs/second. Even at that
speed a catch can do its damage way before you can
react. A spiral groove in the almost finished piece
can be discouraging.

Okay, here's the straight line: What kind of saw do you
use on a monocle? Tom

OK, I'll bite. What kind of saw do you use on a monocle?

Oh, I thought you had the punchline there...Okay, how about a keyhole?

And if it's not done right, you'll end up with an eye saw.
