Hi, Alan Stratton, from As Wood Turns.
(www.AsWoodTurns.com) We have a once in a lifetime event coming
up with solar eclipse coming on Monday.
An event where the moon passes between the sun and the earth and it gets mighty dark.
I live a little bit south of the zone of totality as call it.
So I'm going to go north.
To commemorate that event, I am going to make this broach., this will symbolize the eclipse
for a long time even though the event is going to be over quickly and not return for a long
time.
The white disk represents the earth with texturing using the infinite axis chuck and a band of
totality as the moon moves between the sun and the earth.
Here is the moon texture to give a "man in the moon" who is totally amazed at the
fuss we're making over his passage.
I did use the Infinite Axis Chuck.
I am shortly going to have a kit put together that will have all the components for the
chuck.
But, for now, let's make a broach, sticking to business, make this broach to represent
the eclipse of 2017.
To start, I'm mounting a piece of hazelnut wood with double stick tape to the work platform
for my Infinite Axis Chuck.
The work platform is held in the jaws of a scroll chuck.
My objective here is to flatten what will become the back side of the broach.
I'm cutting it round then sanding it flat.
I have a wood cover that I've shaped to fit over my live center.
This provides pressure without having a point punch into the wood.
My sanding board helps to have a uniform flat surface.
Now I have the work platform mounted to the Infinite Axis Chuck.
I've wrapped the edge of my disk with masking tape and have gently mounted it in the jaws
of a scroll chuck.
Then with a spindle to morse taper adapter, I've mounted the chuck to the tail stock.
This will center the disk better than my eyeballs.
Again, I'm mounting the disk to the work platform with double stick tape.
Next, I need to smooth the background of the front side of the broach.
Then sand it through 400 grit.
Now I can shift the position for my first mini feature.
The live center points to the middle, then cinch up the PVC threads good and tight.
A sharp spindle gouge and a careful touch cuts the feature.
I forgot to sand this feature.
After shifting to a new position, I did not tighten the chuck sufficiently and it shifted.
I'll just have to cut some more features to cover the damage.
Then on to cut more features.
Some overlapping some not.
I'm trying to cover the surface with texture.
This disk represents the earth, so these features simulate mountings, rivers, whatever.
It's rather abstract.
For each feature.
I loosen the PVC joint, bring up the tail stock to indicate where the feature center
is, tighten the PVC joint, carefully cut the feature, carefully sand the feature, and repeat.
My pattern here is random.
With the "earth" disk complete, I now need the "moon" disk.
To start with I've mounted the work platform to my scroll chuck to flatten and round the
back side of the moon.
I'll sand it now through 400 grit.
The wood plug on the tailstock provide safe pressure to hold the disk against the double
stick tape.
This time I'm trusting my eyeballs to center the disk when I reverse it onto new double
stick tape.
This is the front side of the moon.
I'm rounding over the edges then sanding through the grits.
Now I'm mounting the work platform to the Infinite Axis Chuck to create my Man in the
Moon.
With the same process as on the Earth piece, I'm cutting two eyes for the moon and a
mouth.
He seems amazed at what he sees down here.
The eclipse will be a once in a lifetime event.
My broach is a reminder of the event.
If you are watching the eclipse, please remember to not look at the sun without specifically
prepared protection – kind of like wearing your full face shield while wood turning.
Now I want to mark the path of totality for the eclipse.
I'm using a mini torch to lightly burn the path.
I'm also burning the year on the front as well as signing the back.
After applying shellac, I buffed both disks.
Then I assembled the clip finding with E6000 glues with a little more to attach the moon
to the earth.
That's all for my broach.
Please give this video a thumbs up, subscribe and tell your friends.
Always wear your full face shield –goggles are not enough protection.
Until next week, this is Alan Stratton from As Wood Turns dot com.
Come back next week for a new video.
