Gee - it feels like I've been gone for ... 4 months? Must have something to do with the fact that we've been on dial-up eek for about that long. Today I got my backdoor neighbor's help in connecting to his in-home wireless setup. Ahhh ... back online (for now)!
Seems like the last time I came back from a "sabbatical" it was to share my [first Volcano shaker]. How time flies....
Anyway, I recently cranked out Volcano Shaker #2. It's meant to be half of a set; we'll see if its reverse-colored twin ever gets made.
The light-colored wood is ash; the top and bottom pieces are makore (pronounced mack'-oh-ray, according to the local turning club member who handed out several dozen 2" cube offcuts).
Here are a couple more pics:
Notice that I didn't glue the top on this time, although I made it a pretty tight fit. I figured it would make for easier "maintenance".
======
Here's the design, penciled onto the torn-from-a-roll sheet of paper that covers most of my workbench:
The design started out as a rectangle (kinda like the first one) but I kept saying, "Hmmm. There's no reason to have a 90-degree corner there. That surface doesn't need to be flat." And so on. On the other hand, the actual "volcano" part is more of a geometric cone than my first one.
Thoughts? Impressions?
I never did put the fake holes in the top. Not quite sure how to go about that....
