Thank you Both Bill and Roger for the nice comments. I do enjoy working with bone, and there will be more coming soon. As a side NOTE: I would like to know your opinion on this idea. The Legacy was designed to turn large spindles.(mainly furniture at the start. ) but I am finding that on smallparts the Acme screw and gears are all to much for detailed work on Small turnings.I've been playing around with the idea of replacing or adding a new acme screw with a finer pitch, on my Legacy 200.Lets say If I add a 5/8x8 screw, on this machine, It would reduce all gear pitches by 1/2. (So a 3" pitch would become a 1 1/2" pitch, and a 2" pitch would become a 1" with a standard gear set, and using the .25 gear set, a 1/2" would become 1/4" .) Dose anyone have any thought on this idea? I am really thinking of trying it on my 200, (mainly due the short length/ size of the screw,) It should not be a lot of money to buy a small acme screw, and it would not be a hard change over, and it would be, easy to re-store the original screw if or when needed. What do you guys think??? C.A.G.

(I am doing a side job for a friend, A stacked leather handle for a knife.)(More on that latter if you all like?) While the glue is drying on one project, I figured it would be a good time to trying some more new design, ideas with a new bone handle. I roped form the side of the spindle using a 1/4" straight bit. (Note: I turned the shape on the 200, and then used my 1000ex to rope the flutes.)My original plan was to make a 12 flutes on a rope pitch form the side of the spindle. (3" pitch) but, On the second cut, the part moved/ slipped on the mandrel.So in an attempt to save this turning, I tightened the lock nut on the mandrel, And went around a second time, making it 24 flutes. Adding 12 more flutes, takes away a lot of detail, but I think it will still make a nice gift when done.More later. Have a good night everyone.
