Jeff is that a router bit with a pilot that you used? I was also wondering about burning since mill cranks move things slowly by comparison with a router in hand -- but quickly realized that a mill wouldn't run anywhere near the RPM of a router, so probably burning wouldn't be an issue? Definitely cool! |

:D Got my interest at the title straight off. I spent a few years with the Ornamental Turners Group of Australia OTGA for short saw them at the Sydney Wood show in 2005 joined up 2 years latter. Totally enjoy it, have yet to build my Rose Engine not expensive to build at all. Similar to this. Mind you I couldn't afford an OT lathe http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_kw=Antique+Holtzapffel+Ornamental+Turning+Lathe+1860s Love the cuts you have done I count 3 different types. ?? What was the wood? |

The wood was an off cut from an Oak kitchen worktop , I have an idea for a Rose head for the mill on slides but it's just a sketch at the moment , I missed the bottom photo on the first post , definetly tacktile . |
| Ginger Nut:
Oak well thats interesting. Close grained timbers are usually better although I have used for demo purpose at shows what ever is available including Douglas Fur/Oregon even radiata pine for test cuts. Old Biker Mark built this unit http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/remark/pages/hobbies/ornamental/ornamental.html |
