Hey Wayne,
You're gonna LOVE this one!!
NOTHING edited out--nearly 15 minutes long, every word a gem
:biggrin::biggrin:.
Really, it is a vid showing the turning of a steampunk blank from Mik, from Australia.
By way of introduction--here is an interesting fact I learned while preparing this: A sierra (non-vista) has .0365" of space between the brass tube and the finished diameter. This is the approximate height of ten sheets of standard 20# paper. Now, when you consider that any artist who is trying to make these blanks is going to put SOMETHING on the tube, how many sheets of paper do you think will remain as clear resin???
So, TUNE UP your lathe!! If the bushings are not drilled in the center, or you have glue or resin remaining in the tube, throwing it off center, you are LIKELY to have problems.
I believe there will be a follow up to this--
What factors can YOU think of that will lead to failure???
Thanks for any ideas---I hope to make a "sequel"!!
Ed
