Looks great. Creating the hole is a lot of effort and risk but definitely nicer than just drilling a hole and rounding the edge wit sandpaper.

A very nice pendant. The burl is classy. A bit lighter on the tint may have given the burl a chance to stand out a little more, but it’s also a great pieces as is. I really enjoy when you do projects like this. Thanks for your instruction.

I love the simplicity of the jigs allowing repeat productions & the clarity of your commentary, it makes it clear to those who want to give it a try. The colour & the finish applied are SO good to cap off a great project. Thanks for sharing your knowledge & skill. Don from South Aust.

As always I learn something every time I watch your videos. Thank you so very much. I did have a thought and was surprised you did not address it. By using a forstner bit in the tail stock to drill your hole. The pendant could then be turned around and the forstner bit used to center the pendent off set. Would that have been an issue using your jig set up?
@TheKlondikeCraftsman2 жыл бұрын
Thank you Matthew, I am not sure I follow what you mean.
@matthewstewart34462 жыл бұрын
@@TheKlondikeCraftsman upon finishing your jig and placing the disc in the hole for it you used your gouge to make the hole. If instead you used a forstner bit to make that initial hole and then tapered it down with your gouge. Preserving your drilled hole on the back half. Once you flipped the pendant over the forstner bit then can be used to get the pendant centered. Using a chuck in your tail stock to hold the forstner bit. It would index the same spot on the center of the hole. As long as you preserved that hole on the back side the bit would insure the pendant is true and centered once flipped over to turn the back side. Does that help clarify? Instead of having to use a pencil to draw a circle on your jig to realign the pendant once flipped over. Which is a bit less accurate than using an index like the bit you originally drilled the hole with.

First class video with excellent narrative. To date I've been using double backed tape to hold small pendant pieces onto various jigs. You've shared a very useful alternative in respect of hot melt glue. I'll be giving that a go in the near future. BTW: You have a very good approach by way of explaining and enrolling the viewer into the process. What, in the medical profession, they might call a good bedside manner.

Love this and the Jigs, i had a thought on the hole, if you drilled it to a dowel size through inot the block then left enough material to maintain the hole when you turn it over the dowel could be a quick way to centre the hole
@TheKlondikeCraftsman2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Sid, I thought about that as well but drilling the convex shape is tricky and finishing the hole with the dowel in was going to be an issue. It also means I'd need to maintain the hole size when reversing to be accurate. I appreciate you watching buddy!

Lewis, I think I've figured it out. You have no intention of replacing that broken quill handle or fashioning your own on the lathe. No, I think you're hoping that your videos are going to find their way into one of General's sales meetings. Perhaps if that happens they'll send you a free replacement and a backup, just in case. Hell, you might get a brand new lathe..free! Yup! I ain't gonna quit bitching about that broken handle until you make a video turning one!......😁 Uh... before I forget .....You did a great job on that pendant! It's absolutely beautiful!!😉 Wakodahatchee Chris
