    Another new design

    Came up with this a few days ago, still have a problem with the design but am working to solve it.

        I was confused how you did it in the first pic, but the 2nd pic makes it more obvious--not that I'd even come close.

        It's very nice.

              Looks great to me. If you don't like it, send it to me

              Edit: Oh, I see the stepping in the 2nd pic. Still, it looks great.

                That is not a mistake, it's a feature. This IS the digital age!

                  Awesome. Its posts like this that will get me into turning - dang you. I have a feeling that a lathe will be added to my shop before the year is out...

                  Dan, do you happen to have a pic of what the blank looked like?

                    Jon,

                    This is the blank on my ringmaster lathe.



                    The problem is my dowel making tool is absolutely .5000 inch, the drill is also absolutely .5000. In the photo that shows the Walnut plug front and bottom you can see where I had to add a piece of different Walnut and it was darker. The problem is that the glue gets pushed out and the last of the plug has no glue left so its possible for a small chip to occur.
                    My answer is in the mail, (I think) a 13mm drill which will be slightly over .5000.
                    Cork,

                    Dare to dream and dare to fail.

                      That looks pretty awesome! Some Qs:

                      - What woods?
                      - Finish?
                      - The bolt, is that a screw so you can chuck it and do the outside? It looks unfamiliar.

                      If the 13mm drill is not the answer, couldn't you just chuck the dowels in the lathe and sand them down a hair?
