Hello Everyone. Nice photo. Bill your hollow/ core box idea is a good one, Another suggestion is to put another spindle inside the first, and if you reverse the pitches (the one inside and the outer pitch.) it makes a very neat contrast that is hard to figure out how it was carved. ;-) another bonus would be that the center will also support the outer. I would bet this spindle has a lot of movement/play in it, and would break if pushed or twisted in the wrong direction. something we would not want to chance. Nice Work Bret.Thanks Bill for posting.

(sorry, this is going to get confusing. Let me start again.) Pitch is how far, you travel in your cut, for every full rotation of the spindle. As a General rule of Thumb, a good looking rope is normally 3-4 times the diameter of the spindle being turned. So if you have a 1" spindle a 3" or 4" pitch would look best. But the same pitch with a larger spindle (lets say 4") would look more like an All-thread rod... The number of starts is normally done with the spacing of your cut. which is in part, both the pitch and the size of the router bit used. (spacing of the cut/or space left, in-between your cut.) Here are some files on this topic. I hope they help? The Math links are more to the roping, and the dividing are more for reading or fluting. I will try to find Legacy's training videos. (My links no longer work.) Legacy made a number of video's on milling topics. Most were put onto DVD or VHS tape. They also put a number on You tube. For the time being... Mike Pung has some very good video on his own methods of turning, that are different form what Legacy teaches. I think Mike's concepts are a bit less confusing. check these out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjcFpO51upw&t=9s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgzEKnON-o&t=7s If all else fails, I have my own methods that I use. that work's very well for me. (but I don't want to muddy the water any more than what I, already have.) We can go over my ideas latter. ;-) Have a good night. C.A.G.
