Ornamental Milling

<< < (2/3) > >>

vtsteam:
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!

Ginger Nut:
 :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

Love the cuts you have done I count 3 different types. ??

What was the wood?

chipenter:
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.
