Special Techniques Continued I ihcn position the toolrest 90 degrees to the bed and in front of blank. I make a light shearing cut across what will become the back of the mirror. This is done with the Y» in. deep-fluted bowl gouge (Photo 13). You can also use the point of a skew to cut rings in the wood for added decoration. Once your turning is complete, start sanding with 220 grit paper, and con tinue through 320, and 400. Finish up with 600 grit wet-or-dry Then use steel wool to apply paste wax. and tmalls hull with a soft cloth < Photo 14).

Check the diameter of the stub w ith one of the drilled blanks to ensure a snug fit. Leave the rim of the chuck flat and hollow slightly toward the center. This recess in the chuck will provide better holding for the vacuum. Add the gasket material around the perimeter as with the previous chuck. WiLh the stub for centering the blank, you will not be able to drill through the center as before. You w ill need to drill an angled hole through the yo-yo chuck to meet up w ith Ihe hole ihrough the faceplate (Fig. 2 and Photo 18). Take Ttlc Woodworker'^.

Attach as before w ith slveet meial si tews and remember to spread Vaseline between the two. Rough turn to t cylinder using a gouge, then turn down lo the exact diameter you intend to make your yo-yo's. Although I have made yo-yo's in various sizes. my production models are 2 in. lo 21/* in. in diameter. Now you will need to (urn down ihe face of the chuck to leave only a V* in. dia. siub about 7if> in. long (Photo 17). Photo 16 Photo 17 Photo 12 |
