Hello, my name is Bill. I live in Strathmore Alberta, and I am new to this site and have been turning for 2-3 months now. I am hooked, and love seeing others ideas and tips. I will be posting a couple pictures as soon as I get them on the computer.
I have turned a few birch, walnut and maple pens and they have turned out nicely. Now I am trying to add some designs to my blanks. So here is my first question......
I am trying a celtic knot pen....
Everything seems fine when making my cuts and gluing up my inserts. When I start to turn the blank everything still seems to be ok, but once I get down to close to the finished thickness my knots are quite off balanced. I've taken my time and done everything properly, I believe. Frustration is starting......
If anyone has some tips on how to figure out what I am doing wrong please reply.
