Good morning world.A little how I started my day. I awoke this morning to birds singing outside my bedroom, as the morning progressed the birds song where being drowned out by the neighborhood awakening. ai then lay by my wife and justed touched her arm as she slept. Time to get up. I think that just starting a new vitamin regimen two days ago. I have been having trouble with pain from eyeballs down through my neck and into my shoulders. Yesterday I had pain behind my eyeball most of the day. My energy levels have been really low for last 10 days, and I had to figure it out. So I thought it could be Low "T", so I did some research on the web and came across "TEST X180", I started taking it with fish oil. I have to say today is my best day in a while. I even jumped a little rope, just long enough to show Savannah how, Too cool. That was fun.

The making of a sphere jig for the wood lathe, on the fly.

Aluminum block on wood lathe.  My goal is to create a sphere jig, (sounds so much better than a ball jig). First things first, I bought the One Way drill jig at the symposium, in Phoenix this year, with the thought of mounting a router. I never thought I would be using it on aluminum. This picture shows my first attempt at making a "T" washer to use to bolt the sphere jig. The second picture has the jig repositioned, parallel to the bed ways, I like this position much better, as it allows me to plunge to the depth I require. Then I reposition it, toward the center by + 1/8" or so. Also you need to play with the speed of the lathe. I believe I was some where around 250-300 rpm. This piece is a cut off, I never measured the thickness. it is just thicker than the 2 enclosed bearing I plan to mount. Also it's thicker because I wanted to add girth, to ensure more rigidity. This picture show the center knocked out. I used the router to go as thin a...

The creating of a hollow form box, with finial lid.

The  Arizona Association of Woodturners has issued a challenge for the June meeting to turn a lidded box. I have decided to turn it from one of my favorite woods, " Tigre Caspi and Gaboon Ebony .  I first decided that I wanted the shape to mimic female form. The lid maybe the breast area, the start of the ebony, the shoulders and head area with a crown top piece. the head shoulders, and breast area has finish. I need to complete the crown, which will be a challenge. I thought about attempting to insert Lignum Vitae for threading  top and base for the ultimate fit. The bottom is planned to to be rounded and maybe slightly elevated. The crown, pyrite with inlaid gold dust.
