TURNING THE BLANKS
• Place 3-4 spacer bushings onto the mandrel. Next, place an end
bushing, wide-end first onto the mandrel. Then, slide on a blank, insert
the center bushing, and follow with the other blank.
• Insert an end bushing, narrow-end first. Use standard 7mm bushings
to fill the space to the thread. Thread the lock-nut on and hand tighten.
• Bring the tail stock snug with the mandrel (do not over tighten,
it could damage the mandrel). Adjust to remove the spaces, then tighten
the lock nut and lock the tail stock in place.
• Turn the wood down, flush with the bushings using a chisel and
gradual higher grits of sandpaper. Finish with your choice of polish
and wax (Shellawax or other).
