Fay Prozora Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 The heart bowl is a Steve Good project and the candle holder is a piece I turned and then combined it with scrolling. The bowl on top of it and the base was cut on the scroll saw. I was practicing making the beads and balls on the lathe and did not like the way it turned out and was going to toss it, but then decided to make some thing else out of it and here are the results of that. Thanks for looking Fay lawson56, wombatie and Rob Roy 3 Quote

Lucky2 Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 Fay, your work looks fantastic, especially the heart bowl. I like you little turning also, I hope you keep it so that in the future when you get more practice, you can look back on this piece to see how well you've progressed. Len Quote
wombatie Posted July 20, 2014 Report Posted July 20, 2014 They both look great but I especially love the heart bowl. Well done. Marg Quote

Fay Prozora Posted July 20, 2014 Author Report Posted July 20, 2014 I bought my lathe from Rockler. Not sure if they still have their mini lathe on sale for $199.00 or not but that's the price I got mine. Also purchased a set of 5 tools for turning but they are not the greatest but they work fine so far. I just need to get a small low speed grinder to keep my tools sharp. I just started turning a couple days ago. I started a pen last night and in a little bit will go down to work on it. I hope it turns out. I'm making a slim line pen and that is just a simple turning project. We'll see how well it will look. The heart bowl is from Steve Good. It is cut at a small angle say about 1 1/2 degree angle and then you should get a nice drop to get the bowl to look like steps. He doesn't say which blade to use on the saw but I used a #3 FD UR blade and if I had gone to a #5 or a #7 I might have gotten a deeper drop. I didn't put any glue on it either and it is staying like it is in the picture. I enjoyed cutting it. Take care and have a great day Fay Quote
