    Default spiral candlesticks

    Hi guys,
    I started some spiral candle sticks on the weekend and
    thought it might be interesting to do a WIP.....
    on my progress, I had a nice piece of red gum
    cut in half and started shaping and marking out
    the lines to cut out the spirals, that was all I had time
    for on sunday afternoon, hope some of you find it
    interesting,
    Cheers smiife
    P.s.things are looking up the photos are the right way up

    I've managed it in the past with a massive catch with a skew. And I mean massive. )

    The trick here will be to get the ensuing spiral to match the other one.

    What is required here is a controlled dig in.

    Mine come in 3 sizes.

    1: Standard dig in. Also called a "woopsie".

    2: Medium dig in. Switch of lathe and count fingers.

    3: Massive dig in. S**t!! Where did that go? Time for a change of clothes.

    Cheers

    Tim

    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.
