I am working on some handouts for my router lathe demos and made this piece to show off what can be done.

Wow ...

This is outstanding -- I love the minute/hour tick marks being different lengths.

edit ... but 27 index positions to the circle?!!!

Fine work for sure.

Yea, but there's only 9 hours in a day. Sometimes it seems like that my days past so fast.

You should make a tutorial for how to do the routing. Id be interested in how to do this. Great mirror btw

 

[john lucas]

Just finished doing one. If you will send an e-mail to [email protected] I will send you a copy.

Wow, I love it! Wish I lived out your way, I would definitely come by to your demos!

Hello John

I am assuming you used the same router bit on these mirrors as you did on the maple bowl that you showed on the Wood Forum. What type bit is that??? Trying to figure out how you get the round shape but still can bring it to a point. Very curious. Thanks.

By the way your work is always a pleasure to look at. Nice job on the mirror.

I did use the 1/2" straight cut bit in a jig mounted at 45 degrees for the bowl and hollow vessel I showed a few weeks ago.

So the round appearance is just the result of rounding over the edge of the mirror?

(I was wondering the same thing)
