Turning Brass.

samedi 7 novembre 2015

Hi All,
A Lady has asked for some Brass Tipped Tapestry Weavers Bobbins.
Have had a go today. Very interesting Turning Brass in your Wood Lathe. Mainly used a 24mm. Skew.
So the Brass is just on 2in.-50mm.. Drilled a short hole in the centre, for the Tailstock, using a Jacobs chuck, & had to take the 7.25mm. Brass down to 11/64ths. Close to 4mm. 5/8th. long.
Glued it into the Desert Ash Wood, brought the Tailstock up to the small hole, & Turned it down to a Point.
I surprised myself, as I managed some very fine 4in. Shavings, from the Brass & surprise, surprise I turned the SPEED DOWN, not like me at all.
1 down 5 to go.
Hard part will be working out a price for them, any advice ???.
