Learning the Turning

Oops

Lesson learned:  When drilling the pilot hole, allow for the depth of the chuck mortise.

I wasn't particularly happy with the blank, to be honest.  It had quite a few grub-castings holes to be cleaned out (I was planning to turn that into a feature, for a yarn bowl).  It seemed very difficult to sand any flaws out, and the flaws weren't particularly interesting.

On to the next blank, then.

  1. It's about process, not product. You're learning, right? No apologies needed.

  2. I'm not superstitious. I laugh at superstition. Monsters from the Id ignore my cerebrations on the subject of superstition. This was bowl blank #13.

  3. Don't know why I'm sitting here on the comp, when I have blanks to turn. AFK.
