A new Chevron

[mark james]

This has taken me since last September. I did demos at the Richmond, Georgia and Carolina/Piedmont Chapters on how to make the Chevrons. I also discussed some simple, but impressive modifications on how to construct the blanks. However, at that time, I had not moved beyond paper drawings.

Does anyone there remember the modifications?????

Now I have to wait another day. Anyone want to give a guess?

No, that one still is eluding me. I just rough turned this blank, and it is fatally flawed. BUT, I know how to fix it! Just have to construct the blank from scratch again.

The more I see what you do.......the more ideas come to me.
Just wish I had all the free time a retired person seems to find.

I HATE TAXES !!!

I also hate taxes, but I do love being retired!

The evil blank partially turned. Looks good here, but after final assembly w/end caps, the blue veneers failed! Only 4 of the eight were glued in correctly (Cheap labor). I have remade a blank and it is is setting for 24 hrs. Maybe a bit better.

GREAT Looking! Well done. I sure would like to read your "theories" on making chevrons!

Fabulous work as usual! The chevron pattern is great and I really like the blue veneer. It gives it a very clean, classic look.
