TWINNIES one chisel chalenge

[Twinnie]

we all have a faverite chisel so here is my chalenge to you all

rules:

1. one chisel only

2. you must post a picture of your turning

3. you must tell us what chisel you used (why is optional)

4. no sanding of the peice (i'm interisted in the off the tool finish, as well as form)

5. you may start with round stock

with any luck i'll be able to make this a poll on the closing date 31st of jan so every one can vote

good luck to every one

Can I use my 80 grit chisel?

[Stuart]

I only have a rough idea how to use one chisel, so everything I've turned to date is an entry

No, no, no, no, no.... it is on a 2" circular pad in a drill chuck.

If you run it & the lathe fast enough, it gives a beautiful suede finish.

[Twinnie]

No, no, no, no, no.... it is on a 2" circular pad in a drill chuck.

then it's out, but i'd still like to see somthing you'd made with just that

Can I use my Poulan green chisel?

[Cliff Rogers]

The 14" electric one or the 16" petrol one?

[Shedhand]

The 14" electric one or the 16" petrol one?

18" petrol...never fails me. Fired it up this arvo - 2 pulls and away it went. Hasn't been started for about 3 months.

i'll take a pic of my next pen before i finish it. it will just be from a 1/2 inch skew.

Good idea Twinnie, will have a think.

I have my own challenges, like something turning out the same as I intended.

Here is a photo of three bottle stoppers I made. Got the idea here. I don't remember who the genius was that put them on the BB but thanks again.

I like to make mine so that they are short enough to fit in the fridge.

The left hand one and the middle one were done with a 1" skew chisel and the right hand on was done with a 3/4" spindle gouge.

As per the challenge only one chisel was used for each item.

Sorry about the quality of the photo but my photography is never great.

I know that these are not too challenging to make but they are just about the only thing other than pens that I make using one chisel - usually a skew.

good chisels Poulan, i used to have a 70cc and a 75 cc. Older models.

Sorry I missed your closing date. Still going?

I turned these with a 1/2-in hand chisel. Do the drilled holes disqualify?http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com...ad.php?t=42418
