Hi Larry,
It'll be nice to see what shapes you come up with....
It's not that tough at all..... I made the business end first, threaded it and shaped the ends with the radius (ball) turner.
Threaded the handle, centre drilled and shaped the end. Then used the business end as an arbour to hold the shaft with the centre as support and carved random shapes into it as I saw fit.... The I had to polish it cause I like shiny
Have fun with the shapes.... But always concentrate....Radius turners often have bits sticking out the back that can contact the chuck!! Safety first
Ralph.
