A Catch At This Point Would Be A Major "Disaster"

[Bill Stevener]

Hi Gang,

Just trying to see how small I can go with wood.
I may try smaller with some Acrylic.
The goblet was turned on the Jet mini from American Holly. The finish looked like glass until I took the micro photo, oh well, guess I have to brush up on my finishing teqneeks.

The tools used were a 0.045" skew and square end scraper, (Store Bought) yep they make em that small.

At this rate Im down to about a shot glass full of chips a year, not much for the compost pile.:D

Some photos of a micro mimi.

Thanks for peekin.

Where in the heck did you get a dime that dang big.
Just think you could carry a bunch---several bunches-- in your shirt pocket.
That is real neat.

[Keith Burns]

OK Bill, thats small enough !! If you go any smaller you can use toothpicks for you blanks:D :D Great piece:) :)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Keith............he could buy blanks at Kroger or any other grocery store for less than a buck!

Nice mini Bill! Your turnings astround a beginner like me!

[Gordon Achterhof]

Don't catch a cold. If you were to sneeze you would never find it. Great work. I still am in awe of the mini turnings. I take that back, Micro Turnings!!!

Cheers

[Bernie Weishapl]

Boy Bill I am not coming to your house for drinks. :D :D

Bill don't know how you do it but it is nice looking. I saw some of your stuff on the auction block.

[Michael Stafford]

Heck, I can't even see what you are talking about. What goblet? What shot glass full of chips? Shoot Bill you make me feel old; a micro mini used to refer to a really short skirt.....:p :D

Excellent work, I guess, if you really believe it is there.:cool:

[Mike Ramsey]

Bill, It looks a little off to me...maybe you could shorten it a little &
make it a lot thinner, Oh I'm sorry I was crituqing the dime! Didn't notice
the goblet till now :rolleyes: :) .

[Glenn Clabo]

Okay Bill...as my son would say...That's just sick! I'm holding a dime in wonder.

[Carole Valentine]

Excellent, Bill! But it needs a little more sanding don't you think?:rolleyes::D

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Don't feel bad Bill. I would hate to have my picture taken THAT closely!

To the Naked eye, i'm sure it looks great!
