Hello and Good morning Bill I will be honest with you, the 1/4" pitch (a custom made gear that I had made a while back...) was suppose to be a single start, I figured that it would be faster... but after the first cut it looked wrong for what I wanted (It was to thread like,close and I just did not like the look.), so I decided to try making a second start just off the first one, perhaps it would make it look more open?( though to my self.) "Well" It worked. All that I did was to set the router back into the grove it made on the first pass, and then move the carriage up one thread on the acme lead screw. "When Life hands you a Lemon, Make Lemonade." Is how I think of it. ;-) Have a great day. C.A.G. ----- Original Message -----

Hello Everyone. With all this pen turning stuff (topic's) that we have been taking about last week, got me thinking, why not do something a little different along the pen turning lines. Well here it is!Something a bit different. ;-) A roped wooden handle for a jig that I am making. The handle is 3/4" thick, Brazilian cherry . with a 3/8" steel shaft running through the wood, I used my 1/2" pen roping bit to make the wooden handle part, I used a 2 stat rope with a 1/4" pitch. I know this is not a big project, but after working a 10 hour day, at work,I needed to get out in the shop and escape form reality for at least a short time.and un-wind. I though it turned out well. and wanted to share with all of you. If anyone what's to know more, Please feel free to ask. talk to you all latter.
