Thanks Mike. I went out today and bought the brass already. ;-) Yes I knew better. but I was just hoping that the wax was enough. Live and Learn. Legacy Stile. ;-p C.A.G.

Still use the bolt for the clamping but now the brass will keep the glue off the bolt and add strength to the project.

I came up with a new idea for my bone turning. I used an 1/4" x4" screw as my center to hold the bone together while drying. ONE small problem happened. (I know you guys can guess what went wrong.) Even though I waxed the screw before I set the Epoxy glue. the screw is firmly stuck inside my bone blank. ;-( So since I can not remove the screw, I decided to use the screw in as my mounting for the Legacy. I cut an alum. square and tapped the center 1/4-20 (so I could screw the bone onto the alum.) and then I added a Legacy hub to the alum. so I could mount it onto my Legacy. I am rather pleased with this jig. so far. I was able to turn the bone and it open up's some very neat new idea on what I can make on both the Legacy and Shop Smith. Now this is not a new idea for me, I already have made jigs to hole 5/16" and 3/8" shafts so I could make wine stoppers and other utensils. on my lathe. but for some reason, I never thought of making a 1/4" one. As far as the bone turning goes. I'm not sure if I should rope it or not? But for the time being, I think I will leave it the way it is. Here are some photo's of my jig and turning. Please let me know what you think. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
