    Default A beginning

    I've turned a few handles and other stuff now. This was a small chunk of gnarly Osage Orange that I had no use for. Then I noticed I had an old printer head carriage bar, some CA adhesive and I needed a knockout bar. This bit was too small for the job really as I couldn't pare off the dimple from the end without making it too short.

    I'm going to completely avoid comment about the appearance, size and colour of your knob to protect the more sensitive types around here. I just want to know how you got such a good close up photo of the short, shiny, hard thing !!!

    Groggy, do you mind me asking, what do/will you use it for? Did you just do it for practice or what?

    Why am I getting drawn into this?

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Pic three shows its intended use, it goes through the headstock to knock out the drive spur and the tailstock to loosen the live center.

    And yes, mainly just for practice (I did need the knockout bar).

    Not being a turner Groggy, your explaination of its use means nothing to me but it sounds like it means alot to you and it looks good too with the personal touch on the end, thanks for letting me know.

    Now all of you others get back in the box

    ...just one other thing though, if it makes your "knob glow", then wouldn't it be too slippery to pull out or put in?
