Anthony, I'm the polar opposite of you other than demonstrating once in Provo Utah and Mesa Arizona I'm exclusively in the Northeast with a stint in Richmond VA and Tampa Florida a few years back; strictly a hobbyist turner now as in reality there's no money in it after 50 years in denial not to mention all those widgets, gadgets, exotic wood, and technical equipment they keep dangling in front of us that will keep you in the poor house. Being in Code Enforcement I do enjoy seeing a construction project coming out of the ground to the finish especially some of the high end ones where money is no object like the one I signed off recently for the actor Tom Hanks.

I live in Overland Park, KS. It is a part of the Kansas City Metropolitan area. I taught at the Local Woodcraft for a long while, but they aren't doing much now. We do some classes at the local turning club. http://kcwoodturners.org/ Just did a beginning spindle class, and will soon start a beginning bowl class. I have never done any stuff In New York. I demonstrated in Florida a couple of times and a small one in Richmond or one of the Carolinas - you get over there on the other side of the Mississippi, and it all kind of blurs together. Zoom is nice, but I much prefer physical presence when I demonstrate or watch. The Instant Galleries are also better in person. ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kratky Sent: Monday, February 22, 2021 7:37 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Looking for some new projects.

The important part of the cup chuck is shaped like the inside of a coffee cup with the rim being very crisp and of a diameter just slightly smaller than the major diameter of the sphere and friction holds the sphere in place while you work it. The sphere can be placed in the cup chuck at any orientation to permit access to its entire surface. To make the box, all of the work on the sphere is done in the cup chuck except the initial step of turning the stock from square to approximate sphere. The internal box, that piece that comes out of the sphere, is turned mostly in a regular four-jawed chuck with one step done in a jam chuck. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Tim Ziegler Sent: Saturday, February 20, 2021 5:47 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for some new projects. them are pretty cool.

Sorry I did not see your reply to the bone question. Do not boil your bone. a hot water bath will not hurt the bone, but boiling will weaken the bone. Hydrant peroxide a 2-3% will remove the oil and whiten up the bone, if left to soak in it for a week or two. here are some pix. of some of my turnings. C.A.G.

I guess that you might need to boil it first. Most of the bone I have worked with has a fair amount of oil in it. I have had some boiled bone, it seems leached of oil, but I have never turned it. I am primarily a turner. I have turned lots of things, but lately been making boxes for fun and balusters and similar things for money. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2021 7:26 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Looking for some new projects. Very Nice Anthony! Awesome wand. Where did you find A Giraffe femur? What I have been doing is cutting bone disks out of Cow bones, and then gluing the disks into a solid blanks for my turnings. sorta like making bone Plywood. It take more time to make the blank then it dose to turn it. But the results are very nice. Please let us know more about what you are doing. C.A.G.

I have turned a couple of kinds of bone, this wand is made of Giraffe femur. It is the densest bone, and has the largest cross section that I have used. The other materials are Blackwood, Bocote, Pink Ivory, Boxwood, Verawood, Satine, and Osage Orange. I call it the Eveready Swiss Army Utility Wand. Had to get the magical batteries, the small pieces that screw into the base of the handle, by seagull, the owls can't fly across the Atlantic, from the Eveready shop in Diagon Alley. The toothpick was necessary to quality for Swiss Army. anthony ____________________________ Since humans quit looking when they think or feel they KNOW the answer, and the answer they decide on is so rarely correct or complete, It is better to decide that one doesn't know and thus never quit looking. ____________________________ -----Original Message----- From: 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills Sent: Sunday, February 14, 2021 8:20 PM To: Legacy ornamental mills Subject: Looking for some new projects. HI everyone. I hope everyone is well? Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the internet today. I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can turn, soon. The problem is What should I make? I don't like pen's! I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of projects. I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores, looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck finding anything new. So I thought I would ask you all. Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff. Perhaps a letter opener? or ??? Any and all ideas are welcome. Looking forward to talking to you all more. Have a good night. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
