Success ..... finally

[bluesman]

Well I finally was successful in getting this blanked turned.

After the gluing issue and the drilling failure, to a regluing failure to a lost chip, giving me a design opportunity. It's finally is done. Check out the "failure to launch" thread to catch its earlier life.

This was a test piece to see if I could do this but I think I have caught the segmenting bug.

thanks for all the comments it REALLY DID HELP.

thoughts and comments welcome.

BREATHTAKING...... now to prove it is real and holds together, make mine with maple wood and the acrylics, use blue on one, green on the other, I will report back once turned and polished.........BEAUTIFUL

THAT would make a cool pen. Thanks for the idea

The battle may be but it will take some time to see if I win the war. I was ready to throw the blank away a couple times but the people on the IAP kept giving me ideas about what to do next. So how could I not finish it.

...quitters never win and winners never quit! Nice job!

This is how you learn. I broke so many segmented blanks it wasn't funny. Practice practice practice. You will get better and get new ideas.

Turned out great! Glad you stuck with it.

I lost count of how many of my first attempts at segmenting ended up in the fireplace. It took me a long time but it finally came together and I'm glad I stuck with it. Based on your pics, I'm sure you are as well...nice job.

 

[Jim Burr]

Well done sir!! I'm still working on those...hope for a bit of your success!

Somedays they stay together from start to finish. Others, fight you all along the way. No matter how many you've made. DAMHIKT

You better bring that to show and tell.
