Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted February 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I purchased the Bowl C-30 pattern from the Etsy site of Alex Fox. I enlarged the pattern by 25%. The wood is solid 1/4" Cherry 10 inch square. I used #68 drill bit and #1 FD UR blades. I finished with a spray coat of Shellac. The most time consuming was the glue up. glue a ring, let dry for 30 minutes, and glue another ring. While waiting for the glue to dry, I cut three Miniature Birdhouse Ornaments. Comments welcome. meflick, jollyred, barb.j.enders and 16 others 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted February 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Thanks Paul. When sanding the bottom ring on the mac mop, the ring blew apart in three pieces. I was able to glue them in place on the ring above. amazingkevin and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trackman Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Denny would CA glue with activator work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rings need to be advanced 5 degrees, so I move them until exactly the right position. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made quite a few baskets for Christmas presents. I filled them with scrolled ornaments, but I also was not sure what they were good for. My wife took two and filled then with potpourri. My beach loving next door neighbor filled hers with seashells. Just a couple of ideas. Here’s two with potpourri, one of Alex Fox’s and one of Steve Good’s.

Though beautiful, I have found Alex’s baskets to be a bit fragile to make out of solid wood. Or at least I haven’t found the perfect wood yet. Even high quality BB plywood is a bit fragile. By the way, Steve Good lasered the Lords Prayer around the top on one those baskets of his! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I increased the pattern by 25%, but it was still fragile. I will be more careful in sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
