The end of the spindle is turned to make a tenon for gluing into the body. Terry talked about making the finials for the top of the ornament. He makes gauges with Formica. He talked about making globes on the lathe and how to measure the blank to make a perfect globe. He noted that you can part the globe from the blank from the inside if you have an irregular shape or difficulty with depth.
Terry is a font of information on hints and techniques for turning.
He seems to absorb all the nuances of articles from all the woodworking magazines, tries them out, and then digests them into common sense which he freely dispenses to the membership. Thank you Terry, for a very interesting presentation. Return to the TWNC Programs List .
