My latest lathe project is this segmented bowl made of Hickory. It is roughed out and I began sanding today. Sanding is something that I best do a few minutes now and a few minutes another time. There will be a generous amount of time devoted to sanding. I was amazed at how close I was able to turn this bowl to the shape of the bowl I used for a model. It is my first attempt at a segmented bowl. A segmented bowl is made of many pieces of wood glued together. This bowl has 19 pieces. When I started, I was gonna use 24 pieces, but I changed my mind.
While I was roughing it out, I noticed that I was having problems keepin proper tension on my belt. It is obviously stretched. I'm pretty sure I ordered one or two in the last couple years. I cannot recall where I put them. I have done some serious lookin, but still no belts. I'm positive that I put them in a logical, easy to find place. I haven't found that logical, easy to find place yet. This is where I need some help . . . I need ideas on where to look . . . I'm pretty sure that if I re-order a belt or two, I will find them as soon as the new ones arrive.
Noticed my lovely and talented, mail deliverin, red-headed cousin's photo in the local paper . . . again . . . This time it was about the Rotary Club. She is the program chairman and they took a pic of her and the speaker. I'm surprised she hasn't at least emailed me, askin if I saw her pic. She usually makes sure I know about stuff like that . . .
