Hey There Tim That's exactly what Ive done in the past. I sand the outer edges pretty much the normal way, on the lathe or Legacy, then I take sand cloth (I like the mesh type, It sorta looks like door screen, and come in roles, 3/4"-1" wide. with a wide range of grits. ) and sand the inside edges with the spindle locked in place, until the cut out looks like a round spindle. There is a lot of sanding to do, but its the best way that I know to get it done. I would think that those hollow spindles being small, something like 3/8" opening and small /short length, would be easier to do than something big. (but I could be wrong.) I've not tried anything this small on me 1000ex.
I would like to know more about this candy dish. Please keep the commentary going... ;-) C.A.G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Krause" <artmarb...@comcast.net> To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2016 9:45:24 PM Subject: Re: candy dish Good comment Dexter, I'm going to admit something as your fearless leader, I've never done a spiral! Is there a lot of sanding involved when doing a twist? I'm guessing the quickest way would be to use some cloth backed sandpaper strips and go up the grits. Can anyone please share some experience here. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: Dexter Bland To: Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2016 8:09 AM Subject: Re: candy dish Stan, Very nice work. The wood appears to be walnut. I'm sure lots of time sanding the spindles. What kind of finish did you use? Some poly or tongue oil? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
