Ball turning tutorial?

<< < (4/7) > >>

Nowicki:
Great , That's exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure it will take me a few tries but I'll get the hang if it. Some nice damascus or wrought iron pieces would be great. I might be making some bronzed cable too. That is some cool looking stuff.
I didn't finish the tool yet. Had to play lumber jack . Trees came down on the wires at the street car museum and they cannot run till they are removed. I was one of the guys with the chain saw 60 ft up in the air. That is done but getting ready for Fire and Brimstone will take up the rest of my week so I won't get back to tool making till next week. I'll keep you posted as soon as I get it done.

Let me say your videos are well made, you capture and hold the student’s attention while a nice sound track helps you absorb the information.

I am a fanatical believer in sharing and teaching knowledge.

I realize that was a time consuming endeavor, your effort deserves a large thank you from all who views the tutorial.

All the best and Thanks for your time.               Anthony.

AdeV:
Ralph - Excellent video  :bow: :bow:, you make it look really easy, I'm sure it's more difficult than that in reality!  :bow: :bow:

I've got to make me one of those...

CrewCab:
Sporadic Ralph  :clap:  nice work with the video ........... as ever  :smart:

Good to hear from you too   :thumbup:

Larry, 
very happy it helps  :ddb:  I'll help you get it set up if need be, no need making acorn shapes unless intended eh? I'm gonna be very envious when the fancy steels and bronzes come out to play  :headbang:


Anthony,   

thank you. Much appreciated  :beer:  Firm believer in the help (if I can) where needed philosophy too  :thumbup:


Ade,

thank you. Easy, pretty much is after you've used it for a while.... I would have to change the machining order if I did it again though, machine the last convex before the smaller one on the end.... It was a bit of a headache holding it once I'd altered the end bit.

What you don't really see in the video is me keeping the tool set and switching the workpiece round to machine the other side of it to exactly the same radius... That's what the 3 lines were for, a centre line and then the spacings either side to stop me entering the bit needed for the (imaginary, cause I don't have one) knife tang to pass through.
 
You'll never regret having the tool at your disposal, I use it on all sorts of stuff.... Never tried it on a sump though  :dremel:   (links for plans etc on the video)



CC,

  :wave:  Glad you like it  :thumbup:  I've not been far away.... Just pre-occupied  :coffee:




It's getting a good response on youtube too  :)


Well, I'm going to go and get my tea and let my head deflate a bit  :headbang:




Thanks again all for the very kind words  :thumbup:





Ralph.
