    Default Turner's Steps

    Been meaning to have ago at this for some time, looks easier than it is.......

    Made in Boxwood, stands 4" high & has 25 steps.
    For this first attempt I marked out a cylinder (10 divisions), set up eccentric in a big 4 jaw chuck, cut to step diameter with sharp 1/8" parting tool, adjusting the work in the chuck by hand to the next division for the next cut.
    If I make another I will finish the ends first! & make up indexable jam chucks.
    Nothing like having a go at something to learn how to do it better......

    That is seriously cool

    The only way I could do that is with a bunch of disks glued together
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Dunno about that - looks bloody difficult to me! Trying to get all of that the same diamater and thickness of each bit would be a nightmare!

    Thanks for sharing - looks great.

    Cheers,

    " ........ looks easier than it is.

    I don't think so! I'm with corbs - "The only way I could do that is with a bunch of disks glued together", and then I'd likely get the balance wrong.
    You've done a good job.
