this candle holder is a derivation on the one you did that I liked so much. I used wooden beads that I found at the hobby store. Instead of the copper wire, I used 8-32 all thread with cap nuts on the top.

When I drilled the holes, I set up a “V” with 2 pieces of wood on my drill press. I put the point of the V at the 12 o’clock position and a mark at the 4 o’clock position. I drilled the 12 position then rotated thar hole to the 4 position, drilled again then rotated once more. This procedure ensures that all of the holes in each ring will line up.

It came out great. As a matter of fact, I’ll be doing different size ones and using them for desk pencil holders, vases and anything else I can think of.

Thanks again for the design.

Could I bother you for the ratio of the wax and mineral oil for sanding?

Thanks again and I love your videos.

Off center goblet in ash

I thought I’d try my hand at off center turning. It is even more scary than in the videos. This one is out of ash. I was trying another out of bloodwood, but I got a catch, and it blew apart. 🙁

Piano

I am from Bulgaria and in his spare time make little souvenir copies of musical instruments out of wood. Months ago, a woman contacted me and asked me to work out Jimmy Page’s guitar gibson 1275
After she worked, she said no and I like to save it for my collection. Sometimes whimsical orders of bizarre customers make the masters to make unique. I am very proud made.

Lidded box in walnut

I just completed this lidded hollowform the other day. I got a few real nice pieces of walnut (from ebay interestingly enough) and rough turned it last summer. It had just a little ring check that I stabilized with a little CA glue and it’s barely noticeable.
