Tools and materials I propose:
This is a cool little woodturning project with a few interesting touches. This video will be part of a video series I am launching. The videos will be longer and more detailed. I will create premieres for the videos and I will be live in the chat while the videos premiere. This way we can talk live about the project.
I begun with a square piece of mulberry. After finding it’s centres I mounted the piece between centres on the lathe. I used my roughing gouge to turn the piece true.
Using my skew I created a dovetailed tenon to fit my chuck’s jaws.
I divided my blank into four sections based on it’s radius.
Then with the flat carbide tool, I removed material fast.
I shaped the curved parts with my spindle gouge.
At this point I sanded the piece as much as I could before I release the rings.
I used the skew to create a groove. And then I burned a decorative line using a metal wire.
With the pointy carbide cutter I removed as much material as I could. Then I used a small tool I made out of an allen key to part the ring almost off. I broke the ring free with my hand.
I secured the rings in place with tape. And then I cleaned the inner spindle.
To sand the rings, I used the rattle itself as a sander. I used zip ties to wrap sandpaper on the rattle’s spindle. And this way I sanded the interior of the rings.
I parted the rattle off and I sanded it.
I finished the rattle with food safe mineral oil.
It sounds and looks really great. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
