Finally,success.My first completion with no breaks.A few chips but no cracks.

Looks good. I have not tried these, but my father experimented. Knowing what he said about it, you've made a good accomplishment. Next step is a five level Chinese ball!

That's cool. Can you make one with resin?

 

[Dale Lynch]

The chinese ball is a few spheres away.Next up is 12 point star in a sphere.

I suppose one could be made out of resin.Better get the blanks cheap or it will get real expensive.I don't see resin being very forgiving to catches.

Thanks fellas.

It looks great. How on earth do you make these?

Very carefully.I learned it from the book Woodturning Wizardry.

star in a sphere

Thanks fellas.

I pulled this one off the lathe yesterday.It is a 12 point star in a sphere.I broke a chunk out while cleaning out some glue.I was able to glue it back in so it's mostly complete.

I learned that I need to use less hotmelt for the plugs and more precision tool handling.

If off to try another now.
