I know some here, including me, like to turn small things. Does anyone else make "tiny" turnings?
Good fun, I have a set of micro tools (gouges, skew, etc) but sometimes have to make special tools.
Smoothing surfaces can be challenging. Here are some I did a while back but just got around to photographing them.
Can't see it without a strong magnifier, but I did engrave "JKJ" and "EBONY" around a ring inside the foot of the bowl.
I did this under my low-power stereo microscope using a needle tool, both handy in the shop!
Ebony, cocobolo, and holly. And US penny.
I had more, but someone dropped them in my shop office and I never saw them again! š
Several visitors who saw mine pointed out that people with fancy doll houses will pay big $$$ for things like this.
Might be a good money-maker for someone who likes to do that.
If you make tiny things, I'd like to see them!
