Thread: Segmented Travelling Mug.

Having made one I have started to make another (without the minor imperfections) as a present.

It will be of the same timber and the same finish. Here are a few WIP photos.

Photo 1 shows the segmented ring of timber and photo 2 shows the glued up item on the lathe ready for shaping the inside and turning of the outside.

Peter like the way the segmentation looks as though its been bent to suit such clean lines.

Hows the Index jig going ?

Currently on the back burner, got tied up with the mini lathe, making a few extra toolrests, the pendant chuck and making Christmas presents.

The second travelling mug is a Christmas present.

Good job! Adds interest to an otherwise plain object!

Looking good..

So I'm not the only one to buy a kit and look at it for a year or more

Nice work

Very nice , where did you get the mug insert???
I would like to do a few done myself.

Nice. I usually wrap the hose clamps the other way around, so the free ends are less likely to buckle when they hit my hand; and bruise rather than cut.

Cheers,

The worst part was I not only had the mug but also a 9 page detailed set of instructions on how to do it. If you want a copy sent me your email address and i'll send the pdf file.

I bought mine from Pop's shed but I think Gary Pye and Vermec sell them as well. You usually find them under craft supplies on their websites.

Joe,

The clamps are still on from the glue up part, just finished glueing the base plug in. I'll keep the clamps on whilst hollowing out the inside for the mug insert and then remove them for shaping the outside.

Thus the clamp ends are not a problem.
