The blank is from this page: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=36&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
It is a resin rod that I purchase from Europe and it is brittle. As I told "Maxwell":
"Maxwell, my lad, you will need to approach this very carefully. Sharpen your tools and your wits, before beginning. Then, take off the ends gently rolling your skew over the edges. When you have succeeded, you will be a better turner-prepared to advance!!!"
I forgot Andrew is a teacher!!! Now that he has a BASE of KNOWLEDGE - he's done. We need to bring out the "bricklayer" in him----- Build Andrew, Build!!!
Build Andrew, Build:highfive:
Build Andrew, Build:highfive:
Build Andrew, Build:highfive:

or give up

You think the Skew is your friend, then you become complacent- friendly with it even, and then it bites you! I ended up with 7 of the dang things and they all laugh at me- taunt me, from the rack where they can see what I am turning, the evil beasties!
