Michael Mocho Continuedfrom Previous Pagepiece of wood to produce the patternshown in Photo 8.it screwed onto the tenon he hadthreaded.Figure 6. Making concentricgrooves in a piece of wood usingan outside thread chaser.Figure 8. This photo shows theeffect created when the wood isshifted sideways and a secondset of concentric grooves aremade with the thread chaser.Figure 10. Applying the magicelixir to the area to be threaded.Figure 7. This photo shows thegrooves that were made with thethread chaser.He demonstrated the texturingthat can be done using the RobertSorby spiraling and texturing toolbefore turning the piece of woodhe had mounted in the chuck intoa small box bottom with a threadedopening. He actually drilled the holein the box and then sanded it with asmall mandrel with a slit cut in it tohold the sandpaper. The box bottomis shown in Figure 9.He then shifted the wood sothat the center of rotation was shiftedsideways and made a second setof concentric grooves on the samePage 6 More Woodturning August 2009Figure 9. Box top that has beenturned and threaded for a lid toscrew into.He then showed how to makethreads with a hand held chaser inthe hard maple without the threadscrumbling. While thread chasing,he coated the wood with a specialelixir (dish washing detergent),which seemed to work very well.Figure 10 shows him putting thedetergent on the area to be threadedand Figure 11 shows him chasingthreads. He made a ring that healso threaded and showed howFigure 11. Chasing the actualexternal threads.He then turned and threadedthe lid for the box. Before partingoff, he drilled a hole in the top ofthe lid to later accept a finial that hewould turn. Figure 12 shows the lidalmost turned. Figure 13 shows thelid screwed onto the box bottom andFigure 14 shows the lid removed andthe texture that he had applied to thebottom of the lid.Finally, he then turned a smallfinial out of walnut (I believe). (SeeFigure 15) It had a tenon that wouldfit into the hole he had drilled inthe lid. Figure 16 shows the totallyturned box with the lid in place.Figure 17 shows a slightly tippedpicture of the box to show the textureon the lid.
the video camera. Finally Figure20 shows the sanding belt with acouple of pieces that have been finalshaped using this rig.Figure 12. Turning the outsideshape of the box lid.Figure 15. Turning the finial forthe box.Figure 17. A slightly differentangle shot to show the textureon the top of the lid.Figure 13. The lid screwed ontothe box.Figure 14. This photo shows thelid removed and the texture onthe bottom side of the lid.Figure 16. The completed boxwith finial attached.Finally, Michael mounted hissanding rig on the lathe and demonstratedhow it works (See Figure 18).This is a lathe driven sanding beltsystem. The drive spindle is made ofwood and has a Morse Taper turnedon one end and a place for the livetail center on the other end. An ovalblock of wood is attached to a turnedpiece that will fit into the tool-posthole in the lathe banjo. This ovalpiece of wood is covered with asheet of cork, which is over coatedwith a graphite canvas, a very slickmaterial that will allow the sandingbelt to slide over it smoothly. Figure19 shows another view captured byFigure 18. Lathe driven sandingbelt mechanism.Figure 19. Another angle view ofthe sanding belt mechanism.[Continued on Next Page]More Woodturning August 2009 Page 7
