Below are two bowls that i broke the tennons on today.....
Pic-1) yellow colored bowl - some type of pine or DF, using a faceplate turned the tennon and rough shape outside....then changed it around and put the tennon into my supernova with spigot jaws and turned the outside with no problem....started to hollow and "snap" then tennon tore off.....using the glue gun in the picture below (allowing 30min heat up) i reattached the tennon on this one and will let it sit overnight and try to turn again...PS this wood is very wet still...........
Pic-2) Reattached the tennon and would not hold so i used a small square block that will fit into the jaws of the supernova - using the glue gun in the pic i attached it and will try again tomm. This wood is very very dry....
I have tried Gorilla Glue and cynoacalate both and neither would hold on the above.........so im trying the glue gun to see if it works any better.
On the dry not sure why it wont hold but the wet may be that the water content migrates back rapidly and just wont hold the bond......
i did sucessfully turn 4 others today without any problem but they were different types of wood
Lastly---------i had some small tools (all are stainless steel) that i got from a guy that i bought my buffing machine from that did alot of miniature work.....i do not need them so i have them up for trade.....posted on the classified section and thought i would add a note here with pics...that if anyone wants to trade for a good blank of wood i am willing..........thanks Dan
