PREPARING THE BLANKS
• Cut 3/4" to 5/8" square blank to the length of the brass tube (add 1/16" for squaring off).
• Drill a 3/8" center hole lengthwise through the blank.
• Spread the glue over the tube. Insert the tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue
evenly inside. Center the tube lengthwise in the blank.
• When the glue dries, square the ends of the blank. Use a 3/8" barrel trimmer
to square the ends. Take the wood down flush to the brass tube.
TURNING THE BLANKS
• Place three or four standard 7mm bushings onto the mandrel, followed by an end bushing—wide end
first—then the wood blank followed by the other bushing, insert with narrow end in first. Use additional
spacer bushings to fill the space on the shaft up to the threads.
• Thread on the lock nut and hand tighten to hold all items in place.
• Slide the tailstock to the mandrel shaft, (do not overtighten, it could damage the mandrel). Lock in place.
• Turn the wood down, flush with the bushings using lathe tools, gradually increasing the
grades of sandpaper.
• Finish the wood with friction polish or use PSI clear hi-gloss project finish #HGPF off the lathe
for a brilliant finish.
