Kit Includes
  • 3 different styles of 24 kt. gold plated brass end pieces.
  • 2-1/4" long, 7mm brass tubes.
  • Black hanging rope

REQUIRED ACCESSORIES:

  • 7mm, long mandrel
  • 2 each Slimline bushings or any Steebar Pen bushings
  • 7mm drill bit, Item # PK-1173
  • 7mm barrel trimmer , Item # PK-1125 (optional)
  • NOTE: This project is a free hand turning. Make it to your own design to be used as a tree ornament or a unique necklace. The bushings are used only to hold the blank on the mandrel while turning.
    PREPARING THE WOOD:
    • Use wide square blanks slightly larger than the size of your design.
    • Cut the length to the size of the brass tube plus 1/16" for squaring off the ends.
    • Drill a 7mm hole, lengthwise, through the blanks.
    • Spread glue over the tube and insert into the hole with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.
    • Center the tube lengthwise inside the blank.
    • When the glue dries, square the ends of the blank. Use a 7mm barrel trimmer or a belt/disc
      Sander. Take the wood down, flush with the ends of the brass tube.
    TURNING THE BLANK:
    • Place a few spacer bushings on the mandrel.
    • Next place the wood blank and follow with additional bushings to close the remaining space.
    • Screw on the lock nut and tighten the tailstock/live center snug against the mandrel.
    • Turn the blank to the design of your choice.
    • Sand the wood and finish with one of our fine polishes or wax for a brilliant gloss.

    Assembly

    • To assemble the parts, use a vice or a clamping instrument with wooden or soft jaws.
    • Press the end pieces into the open ends of the brass tube glued inside the barrel.
    • Insert the rope into the hole, adjust for size, and tie a knot.
